11 steps to achieving a high IELTS score

They can register online and confirm their seat by making a payment at any Nabil Bank counter before sending British Council Nepal their payment details via the bank’s deposit slip.

The press statement quoted country exams manager Jim O’Neill who shared, “We look forward to bringing IELTS to new customers in Nepalgunj and the surrounding areas. This will help make the test more accessible and easier for people in the Western Region of the country. Our partners in the area are also ready to help by providing registration services as well as consultations on visa processing and test preparation. We will share information on these opportunities regularly through our website and social media”
