New Delhi, August 13: ETS, a global education and talent solutions organisation and the creator of the TOEFL iBT test, hosted a TOEFL Experience Day at Sheraton New Delhi on August 12, 2026. The event brought together 119 participants from Delhi’s education and study-abroad community to deepen their understanding of the enhanced TOEFL iBT test and strengthen the guidance and preparation support available to students pursuing international education.
Delhi NCR is an important study-abroad market in India, with Delhi among the country’s major urban centres driving international student mobility. The region attracts undergraduate, postgraduate and working professional aspirants and reflects a broad mix of destinations and academic interests. As students and families increasingly weigh factors such as changing visa policies, education costs, employability and long-term opportunities, the need for informed guidance and reliable assessment information continues to grow.
Led by ETS experts and senior leaders from its South Asia team, the structured sessions introduced participants to the four strategic pillars of TOEFL: Fair, Agile, Smart and Tailored (FAST), alongside focused guidance on the four skills assessed by the TOEFL iBT test: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. Participants also explored the enhanced test format, delivery and assessment approach and clarified test-related questions. They received official TOEFL preparation and classroom-support resources, helping them translate the sessions into more structured preparation support for test takers.
ETS currently has four active TOEFL test centres in Delhi, strategically placed across key locations to provide students with greater accessibility to the test. The region is also supported by 30+ active TOEFL Market Ambassadors, whose role has evolved beyond referrals to include student engagement, TOEFL preparation sessions, campus outreach, mock tests and digital advocacy. ETS plans to further expand its ambassador network across NCR and strengthen local accessibility and engagement for students and the education community.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Karan Lalit, Executive Director, South Asia, TOEFL and GRE, ETS, said, “Delhi NCR is an important centre for students pursuing international education, with learners exploring a wide range of destinations, academic disciplines and career pathways. As students and families navigate an increasingly complex international education landscape, access to accurate test information and informed guidance is more important than ever. Through the TOEFL Experience Day, we are bringing ETS’s assessment expertise closer to the educators and counsellors who support students every day, while strengthening local access through our test-centre and Market Ambassador network. Our aim is to help students make confident choices and prepare effectively for opportunities in international education.”
The Delhi TOEFL Experience Day forms part of ETS’s continued engagement with education communities across key study-abroad markets. By combining local access with direct engagement and official test guidance, ETS aims to help educators and counsellors better support students as their international education choices become more diverse.
