Canadian College Asks 428 Indian Students to Take IELTS Test Again; Quality Doubted

Ontario: More than 400 students in India have been asked by Niagra College in Ontario, Canada, to retake the language test as the  college has found some inconsistencies. The doubt arose when the language proficiency of the candidates did not match the IELTS test scores submitted by them.

The  College has asked 428  Indian students admitted to its January 2019 programmes to undergo a second English test. Students who do not comply with this condition will lose  their offer of admission. Students are given two test options – IELTS or PTE.

IELTS is one of the English language tests used by the immigration auhtorities in Canada as  proof of an immigration or citizenship applicant’s language proficiency.

The College took  this crucial decision after its faculty found some inconsistencies with the IELTS  scores of the first-year international students and their real language skills.
