It depends on your learning style. If you are a concrete learner go for IELTS and if your learning style is more abstract TOEFL will be good for you. IELTS is conducted by British Council, Cambridge English Language Assessment whereas TOEFL is conducted by ETS (Educational Testing Service) a private non-profit U.S. organization. There is also difference in test taking method. In IELTS you need to speak face to face with an examiner whereas in TOEFL you need to speak in a microphone. Both are accepted by all major universities and basically the tests check your proficiency in the english language. Hope this helped you! read less

Both exam scores somewhat coincide... for example 9 band of IELTS is considered equivalent to 118/120 in TOEFL ibt. many universities even accept CPE ( Cambridge English: Proficiency)

Between these two i would suggest you to go for IELTS. PTE, a new exam is tougher than these two but you can consider it.
