The IELTS UKVI test is slightly more expensive than the standard IELTS exam. In India, while the regular IELTS exam fees are ₹17,000, the fee for IELTS UKVI is approximately ₹18,500. The UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) version is required for those who need to prove their English proficiency to the UK government for migration or study purposes. It’s important to check which version of the test is required for your application to avoid paying unnecessary fees.
