TOEFL is planning to broaden its test centre network in India’s smaller towns as more students consider studying abroad beyond traditional destinations, according to The Hindu. The move is linked to increased demand from Indian test-takers seeking international education and preparing for English-language assessment. TOEFL will expand access to testing locations by partnering with Crizac, a company involved in distributing and operating services for standardized tests. The initiative aims to make the TOEFL more reachable for students outside major cities by increasing the availability of test centres in additional locations across the country. The article frames the expansion as part of a wider shift in student choices, with growing numbers exploring overseas options that may require English proficiency testing. While details on the timeline, number of new centres, and exact locations are not provided in the available summary, the stated objective is to extend TOEFL’s footprint in smaller towns to support expanding overseas study interest among Indian students.
