TOEFL and ETS Partner to Support Expanding Overseas Study Options for Indian Students
Indian students are increasingly exploring a broader range of overseas study destinations beyond the traditional 'Big Four' countries—US, UK, Canada, and Australia—with growing interest in nations like Germany, France, UAE, and others. TOEFL plans to open new test centers in smaller towns to support this trend. Additionally, ETS India has partnered with Crizac Limited to expand access to official TOEFL and GRE preparation resources, particularly targeting students in Tier II and III cities, aiming to enhance study abroad readiness through trusted test prep and counselling services.
