IELTS One Skill Retake launches in India
IDP Education
12 December 2025The global roll out of IELTS One Skill Retake continues, having recently been launched in India. The first IELTS One Skill Retake test was offered at the start of June in our Bathinda test centre, in Punjab, and this option is now available in 47 test locations across India.
Vishal Gupta, Regional IELTS Director, South Asia & IELTS Shared Services, said “we are delighted to be able to offer Indian test takers the opportunity to showcase their full potential, providing them with a second opportunity to achieve their study, migration or work goals.”
Feedback from our test takers has been extremely positive and many are excited about the opportunity IELTS One Skill Retake in India provides.
“I had an excellent experience with IELTS One Skill Retake…When I got to know that I am eligible for [this test] I was very happy…It is very helpful for all the students.” Aradhna from Hoshiarpur, Punjab
“When I got the desired marks in the rest of the three modules but not in the listening section, I was very disappointed, but when I saw that I can actually retake only one module within 60 days and I have this option in India, I got really excited about it.” Sundeep from Sangrur, Punjab
IELTS One Skill Retake will continue to be rolled out across India and will be available globally throughout 2023.
