Our own figures for FY 2025/26 (Shrawan 2082 to Asar 2083). TOEFL is a smaller class than IELTS or PTE, so these numbers move more from year to year.

    TOEFL78to94

    Master's in Germany (English-taught)

    I'd been practising from old TOEFL books, and the test had changed. The class retrained me for the new adaptive Reading and Listening sections. My university asked for 90. I got 94.

    TOEFL84to92

    Master's in the Netherlands

    Speaking was my weakest section. In 3 recorded one-to-ones I learned to organise an answer inside the time limit, then listened back to my own mistakes. That's where most of my 8 extra points came from.

    TOEFL70to80

    Bachelor's in Finland

    I needed 79 for Finland and writing was holding me back. Every week I got a marked writing task back, in the new format. I scored 80, one point more than I needed.

The exam itself

The TOEFL exam in Nepal: fee, dates and results

TOEFL iBT is run by ETS. You can take it at a test centre in Kathmandu, or at home (TOEFL iBT Home Edition) if your university and visa accept it.

Australia's student visa doesn't accept at-home tests. If you're going to Australia, take TOEFL at a test centre, or choose IELTS or PTE.

IELTS, PTE or TOEFL?

Which test is right for you?

TOEFL is the smallest of the three in Nepal. It makes sense when your university lists it, or when you're comfortable with an academic, fully computer-based test.

Your target

What TOEFL score do you need?

TOEFL requirements are still often given on the 0 to 120 scale while universities update to the new 1 to 6 scale. Typical ranges for the students we place:

Typical TOEFL iBT requirements by destination
DestinationTypical TOEFL iBT (0 to 120)Note
Germany80 to 95 for English-taught master'sSome ask for more in writing
Netherlands80 to 92
Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway79 to 92Check section minimums
UK79 to 95 at universities that accept itNot a visa test for courses below degree level
Australia64 to 94 depending on courseTest centre only for the visa

After your test

Then what?

Your score is the start. Every class student gets a free counselling session on where the score takes you, the full cost and when to apply.

An honest note

This isn't the right class for you if

  • You need your score in under 2 weeks.
  • You want a guaranteed score. Nobody can promise one.
  • You're going to Australia and planning the home edition. The visa won't accept it.
  • You need a morning or midday batch. TOEFL runs in the evening only.

Questions about TOEFL classes

How much do TOEFL classes cost in Kathmandu?

Ours cost Rs 13,000 for 6 weeks, with 6 full mock tests in the 2026 format and 3 one-to-one speaking sessions. The level test and demo class are free.

What is the TOEFL exam fee in Nepal?

USD 195, about NPR 29,700 at the 18 October 2026 rate. Check the current fee on ETS.

What changed in TOEFL in 2026?

From 21 January 2026, Reading and Listening adapt to your answers, the test is shorter, and scores are given on a new 1 to 6 scale, with the 0 to 120 score also reported for 2 years. See ETS.

Is TOEFL harder than IELTS?

It's different, not harder. TOEFL is fully academic and on computer; IELTS has a face-to-face speaking test. Students who read and write academic English comfortably often prefer TOEFL.

Yes, at the moment: USD 195 (about NPR 29,700) against NPR 36,000 for IELTS. Fees change, so check both before you book.

Is TOEFL accepted in Europe?

By most universities in the countries we cover. Check your programme's minimum score and section rules.
