Who runs IELTS in Pakistan
Three names matter: British Council, IDP IELTS, and AEO. The test itself is identical whoever you book through — same questions, same scoring, same global recognition.
Computer-based vs paper-based
In Pakistan both formats are usually priced the same. Computer-based offers faster results and more frequent dates; paper-based suits those who prefer writing by hand.
How to choose a centre
Pick on date availability and location convenience, not price. Book early.
