IELTS Academic, IELTS General Training and IELTS Life Skills are recognized by the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) as evidence of English ability for those wishing to live, work and study in the UK.

UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) has announced important changes to Secure English Language Tests (SELT) for visa purposes. If you are applying for a UK visa, you need to be conscious of changes made by the UKVI. The following details should help you if you want to study in UK.

For visa applications to the UK, you may need proof of your English language level. In particular, for many categories of visa, you must submit your score from an English test that is included on the UK Home Office’s list of
Secure English Language Tests (often referred to as SELT tests). IELTS for UKVI and IELTS Life Skills are on this list.

To find out whether you need to take an approved test, what level you need to achieve, and which test you can use, you should contact UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) or you can refer to this table.

If you are applying for a Tier 4 Student Visa to a university that is a Tier 4 Sponsor to study for a bachelor or postgraduate degree you need to meet the English language level set by the institution. Almost all British universities and colleges accept IELTS results. Tier 4 Student Visa applicants can apply to the UK universities listed here with an IELTS result from any of the IELTS test locations worldwide unless the institution has additional requirements.

If you require an ‘IELTS for UKVI’ test to meet UKVI’s requirements, then you can register with British Council or IDP for upcoming ‘IELTS for UKVI’ tests. The tests are available throughout the world, in locations stated by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). See the list of dates and locations on the websites of British Council and IDP.

You must check at the time of registration on the websites of British Council or IDP that you wish to use your test result for a UK visa application. You must attempt the test in an ‘IELTS for UKVI’ test session, because UKVI will not accept results from all IELTS tests offered at these locations. The IELTS for UKVI is planned to meet certain administrative requirements that are explicit to UK Visas and Immigration. Test Report Forms will be slightly different, to show that test takers have taken the test at an IELTS UK visa session.

Majority of IELTS test centers are UKVI-approved test centers. IELTS tests for UK Visas and Immigration are managed by the IELTS SELT Consortium, which comprises of the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English Language Assessment. After you have taken the UKVI test, you will receive an IELTS Test Report Form which shows that you have taken your test in line with the UKVI requirements. IELTS for UKVI can be given in Ahmedabad which is offered as pen paper based as well as in computer delivered format.

The IELTS for UKVI is slightly more costly than the standard IELTS test. There are also different test dates for the two versions, depending on the SELT testing centers available.
