Quick answer

How do I book the PTE exam in India?

Create a myPTE account on pearsonpte.com using your name exactly as it appears on your passport. Choose PTE Academic, UKVI or Core, pick a test centre and a date, pay ₹18,900 by card, and keep the confirmation email. Book only through Pearson: any site selling a score without a test is a fraud.

1Steps

  • Go to pearsonpte.com and create a myPTE account.
  • Enter your name exactly as it appears on your passport. A mismatch can stop you sitting the test.
  • Choose the test: PTE Academic for universities, Academic UKVI if your UK visa route needs it, Core for Canadian immigration.
  • Search for a test centre near you and pick a date and time.
  • Pay ₹18,900 online by card and save the confirmation email.

2ID on test day

Bring the same valid passport you registered with. Arrive early: check-in includes a photo, a palm vein scan and a signature. Read Pearson’s ID policy for your country before test day.

3Choosing a date

Book after at least one full timed practice. If you are applying to universities, leave a week between the test and your first deadline in case you want to retake.

4Book only through Pearson

Book only on pearsonpte.com. Any site or agent offering a PTE score or certificate without sitting the test is fraudulent, and a fake score can cost you a visa.
