During the event, participants received early, hands-on exposure to the enhanced TOEFL iBT, exploring the updated format and its improvements first-hand. They engaged in focused sessions on upcoming test enhancements, the educational and fairness principles behind each section, and how the redesigned test better supports today’s learners in a competitive global admissions landscape.

Attendees also interacted with ETS experts, gaining insights into test design, scoring, and preparation best practices, while addressing institution-specific questions related to how they guide their students and test-takers.

ETS India currently operates two active test centres in Hyderabad, including the Prometric facility. However, considering Hyderabad’s expanding education and study-abroad landscape, ETS India is planning further network expansion by the end of December 2025.
