This year itself more than 6 lakh students are appearing for the English proficiency exams. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/live.leverageedu.com\/\"><strong>IELTS<\/strong><\/a><strong>\/<\/strong>TOEFL. Consequently, several testing agencies such as IELTS, <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/tests\/pte-exam\/\"><strong>PTE,<\/strong><\/a> <strong>LanguageCert<\/strong>, <strong>CELPIP<\/strong>, and Skills for English have expanded their market in Punjab. The latest to join the group is TOEFL or the test of English as a Foreign Language organized by the Educational Testing Services (ETS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 80%-85% students have preferred to take the IELTS exam. It was followed by PTE with 10% students. The rest of the students preferred other English language tests.
