IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System and CD-IELTS stands for Computer Delivered – International English Language Testing System. Although both the exams are same, however, the medium of exam delivery is different as IELTS is taken on a paper and CD-IELTS is conducted via Computer.
Since, CD-IELTS exam involves the usage of computer for its execution so students must be efficient in using computers. For instance, they should have a good typing speed and accuracy for the writing section of CD-IELTS. Moreover, they should be comfortable in reading passages and questions
IELTS Rishikesh is the 1st Institute in Uttarakhand to facilitate CD-IELTS training.

"It was a really amazing experience to study at IELTS Rishikesh, the faculty is really helpful to students. And within a time span of 1-month study at Touchstone, I was able to score overall 8.5 bands. I was a student of the July batch. Studying at IELTS Rishikesh secured my chances of going abroad. Really thankful to the faculty at IELTS Rishikesh ."
