What is the TOEFL?

The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is the world's leading English-language proficiency test for study, work, and immigration. It assesses academic English skills — the language used in university classrooms — and is taken by more than 35 million people worldwide, helping students demonstrate ability in listening, reading, speaking, and writing in an academic context.

It gives students the confidence and support they need to succeed globally. TOEFL score reports can be sent directly to millions of institutions, and the number of organisations accepting it continues to grow year on year.

📌 TOEFL iBT: Key Facts
  • Conducted at international testing centres (TOETS) or as Home Edition
  • Scores range from 0–120
  • Each section is scored individually 0–30
  • Valid for 2 years from the test date

What TOEFL score do most universities require?
Most universities require 80–100 for undergraduate and 90–105 for postgraduate. Top institutions (Ivy League, MIT, Oxford, Imperial) typically require 100–110+. Always check the specific English language requirements on the official university admissions page.
Why should I choose IMFS for TOEFL preparation?

With 67,000+ students guided, personalised study plans, and expert mentoring consistently producing 100+ scores, IMFS delivers structured preparation, full mock tests, and genuine study-abroad counselling alongside TOEFL prep.
What is TOEFL accepted for beyond university admissions?
TOEFL is accepted for US F-1 student visa applications, Canadian Express Entry and PNP PR applications, UK and Australian student visa applications, EU Direct Mobility Programs, and employer-sponsored work visa applications in several countries. It is recognised at 11,500+ institutions in 150+ countries.
Can I take TOEFL from home?
Yes. The TOEFL iBT Home Edition is identical in format, content, scoring, and validity to the test-centre version. It is accepted by the same 11,500+ institutions. You need a stable internet connection, a quiet room, and an approved device. Register at ets.org/toefl.
How long is a TOEFL score valid?
TOEFL iBT scores are valid for two years from the test date. After two years, ETS will no longer report the score to institutions. If applying two or more years after your TOEFL test, you may need to retake it. Plan your test date within two years of your target application deadline.
What is the TOEFL exam fee in India (2026)?
The TOEFL iBT fee is approximately USD $220 (approximately ₹20,900 at USD = ₹95, April 2026). Verify the current fee at ets.org/toefl before registering, as ETS updates fees periodically.
Is TOEFL or IELTS better for Indian students going to the USA?
Both are widely accepted by US universities. TOEFL is computer-based and closely mirrors the academic environment of US universities. IELTS is more commonly preferred for UK and Australian applications. If your primary destination is the USA or Canada, TOEFL is often the stronger choice. Talk to an IMFS counsellor for a personalised recommendation based on your target university list.
