Why Book Your IELTS Exam Through Abroad Cube Instead of Directly?

Many students book their IELTS exam directly on the IDP India website without realizing they could save money and get additional support by booking through an official IDP partner like Abroad Cube (McCarthy AI Private Limited). Here is why booking through Abroad Cube makes more sense.

The most immediate benefit is the cost savings. When you book directly on the IDP website, you pay the full exam fee of ₹19,000, plus ₹250 if you pay by Credit or Debit Card — a total of ₹19,250. By booking through Abroad Cube's official IDP partner link and using the promo code provided by our team, you pay just ₹18,700, saving up to ₹550 on the same official IDP registration. The exam is booked on the same IDP website, at the same test centres, on the same dates — the only difference is the price you pay.

IELTS Exam Fee Hike 2026 – What Changed

The IDP IELTS exam fee in India has seen a steady rise over the years. Until March 31, 2026, the exam was priced at ₹18,000 including GST. Starting April 1, 2026, IDP India has revised the official fee to ₹19,000 — an increase of ₹1,000. This fee is uniform across all test centres and cities in India, whether you opt for the Computer-Delivered or Paper-Based format, and applies equally to IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. Additionally, candidates paying via Credit or Debit Card are charged an extra ₹250 as a payment processing fee, bringing the total cost to ₹19,250 for card payments. With exam costs rising, saving on your IELTS registration has never been more important. Through Abroad Cube's official partnership with IDP IELTS India, you can offset a significant portion of this hike — getting up to ₹550 off your exam fee, effectively bringing your out-of-pocket cost down to ₹18,700 even after the fee increase. For a detailed breakdown of the fee revision, you can read our full blog on the IELTS Fee Hike 2026.
