The new online registration system (NORS) introduced by the British Council for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) promises to make life easier for students with faster and simple registration and regular alerts. The difference would be felt once the student logs into the IELTS website - http://ielts.britishcouncil.org.in/
NORS will also facilitate instant confirmation of seats. In addition, the British Council has introduced five levels of short message service (SMS) alerts and online access to pre-test information and results. “NORS will make registration process for IELTS even simpler for candidates and IELTS registration centres,” said First Secretary (Educational Services) of British Council Kevin McLaven. Feedback from candidates and educational consultants was taken while designing the new system.
Prof. McLaven was in the city to explain the new initiatives as a part of his “non-stop tour” to seven cities in South India. IELTS is one of the world’s most recognised English language competency certifications offered in over 500 locations in 121 countries. Candidates can give their IELTS either through the paper-based format or online. Listening, reading, writing and speaking are the different sections in the exam.
IELTS is classified into two modules: Academic (A) and General Training (GT), which depend on one’s purpose of visit to the secondary country. For instance an aspirant-student needs to take the academic IELTS whereas emigrants or those planning to work overseas should attempt the GT module. The exam is conducted four to five times in a month. Aspirants can know the test dates from the website that is pre-fixed at the beginning of the year. Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada are the centres in our State where the test could be taken.
