IELTS:

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a test of English proficiency that is accepted by most colleges, universities, and professional bodies for admission, work, and immigration purposes. IELTS is jointly managed by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL) through more than 350 locations in 120 countries. IELTS has two modules: Academic and General Training. The Academic module of IELTS is for those students who are seeking admissions into educational institutes/colleges/universities for pursuing higher educations whereas the General Training module of IELTS is taken for job seeking, immigration, and training purposes in an English-speaking country.
