Milan, a great question. I have been teaching for well over 20 years now, and I have pondered over these many times. I will try and answer here and the narrative I present is entirely my personal view. IELTS is a test which assesses the candidate’s proficiency in the English language.

And therefore, probably this idea of a proficiency in the English language was germinated, culminating with TOEFL in 1964, IELTS in 1989 and PTE in 2009. Canada, Australia and New Zealand have taken it a notch higher, bringing even jobs and permanent residency within its fold. UK has gone even further, incorporating it into the spouse visa segment, breaking God knows how many hearts. And so, the story goes on…………………………………………………………………………………… read less
