Pearson, the world’s leading learning company has recently announced the launch of two new PTE Academic test centers in New Delhi & Bangalore with one of the leading global education companies in India; “The Chopras”. This move is in line with Pearson India’s aim to widen the reach of PTE Academic centers across India and the subcontinent through collaboration with leading study abroad consultants offering counselling and PTE Academic test preparation.
PTE Academic is aimed at students who need to demonstrate their English competence in order to study abroad at English speaking Universities or as proof of their language ability for visa applications. The key advantages of PTE Academic are that the test is available on a very frequent basis, can be booked at very short notice and delivers quick results, typically within 5 working days.
The computer-based test delivers real-life measures of students’ English language ability in four key communication skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. Students are also assessed in grammar skills, oral fluency, pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary and written discourse. Currently, with 18 test centres for PTE Academic in India, Pearson initiates its expansion plan in collaboration with “The Chopras” launching two new centers in New Delhi and Bangalore respectively.
On the occasion of joint announcement, Alaric Rae, Business Development Director for the Language Testing division of Pearson said, “PTE Academic is widely recognised by leading Universities because of its reliability, objectivity, relevance and most importantly, its security. It is becoming an increasingly popular choice with Indian students because it delivers results much faster than any other test. We are delighted to be partnering with “The Chopras”, one of India’s leading global Education companies, to ensure that an even greater number of students can now access the test.”
Naveen Chopra, Chairman for “The Chopras” added: “We are proud to be associated with PTE Academic. Pearson’s computer-based test helps our students prepare and improve their English language proficiency. PTE Academic brings effective opportunities for academic success.”
Launched in India in 2009, PTE Academic is growing in popularity amongst students that are aiming to study overseas at top ranking Universities. It is one of the top 3 tests for students who seek admissions in universities and business schools including Harvard, Yale, Cornell, INSEAD, Manchester, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Sydney. PTE Academic is recognized by institutions worldwide, including 100% of Australian institutions, and is approved by DIAC and the UK Border agency for student visa applications.
