Most-used centres in India

Alliance Française centres in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Kochi, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata are the typical locations. Availability rotates — TEF Canada slots usually appear monthly, TCF Canada slightly more often. Always book 4-8 weeks ahead for popular centres. Check the official Alliance Française India / France Éducation International websites for current calendars and fee details before booking.

Money-saving math

The single biggest saving is avoiding a failed attempt. ₹17,000 + ₹3,000 in re-marking + ₹15,000 for a retake is ₹35,000+ for ONE attempt going wrong. ₹1,100 worth of mock tests on our platform (5 full mocks with CLB grading) is ~3% of that risk and de-risks the actual attempt substantially. We recommend at least 5 full-length mocks before booking the official exam.

FAQs

Why is TEF Canada slightly more expensive than TCF Canada?
TEF Canada has 5 sections (vs 4 for TCF), and CCI Paris's pricing has historically been higher than FEI's. The result delivery for TEF also takes longer, requiring more administrative overhead. Functionally for IRCC purposes both produce equivalent CLB scores; the price difference doesn't reflect quality.
Are the fees the same across all India centres?
Within ±10%. Larger metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore) charge slightly more; smaller cities sometimes have lower fees but limited slots. The cheapest centre may have a 6-month wait list, so book strategically.
Can I get my TEF Canada fee reimbursed if I get PR?
Some employers' relocation packages reimburse skill-test fees once you join. PR sponsors / consultancies sometimes also reimburse if the test was a precondition. Always keep receipts and original certificates.
