IELTS exam registration is done in the same manner as that of usual IELTS registration, with the only difference being that the IELTS indicator has fewer countries and universities accepting the scores. For example, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand aren’t accepting the score of the IELTS indicator for migration and higher studies.
