Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the DELF B2 exam cost in India in 2026?
DELF B2 typically costs between ₹10,000 and ₹14,000 at Alliance Française centres in India. The fee includes all four components (Compréhension orale, Compréhension écrite, Production écrite, Production orale). Exact fees vary by city and centre — check your nearest Alliance Française website for the current tariff.
Are DELF exam fees different from city to city in India?
Yes, fees vary slightly between Alliance Française centres. Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore typically charge at the higher end of the range. Smaller centres may be marginally lower. All fees are set in Euros and converted to INR at the time of payment, so the INR amount fluctuates with the exchange rate.
Does the DELF exam fee include the speaking (Production orale) test?
Yes — the published exam fee covers all four components including the Production orale (speaking). The speaking test is conducted on a separate day from the written components, but there is no additional charge. All four skills are included in the single registration fee.
Can I retake individual modules if I fail one component?
Yes. DELF and DALF allow module-level retakes within 2 years of your original exam. If you pass three components but fail one, you can retake only the failed component. The retake fee is lower than the full exam fee. Contact your Alliance Française centre for the current module retake fee.
Is there an additional fee for DELF Scolaire compared to standard DELF?
DELF Scolaire fees are generally slightly lower than or equal to standard DELF at the same level. Some Alliance Française centres offer group registration discounts for schools that coordinate bulk Scolaire registrations. Contact your school's French department or Alliance Française directly.
How do I register for the DELF exam in India?
Visit the official Alliance Française India website (afindia.org) and navigate to your nearest city centre. Most centres offer online registration. You will need: a valid ID (Aadhaar, passport, or school ID), a passport-sized photo, and payment of the exam fee. Register at least 4–6 weeks before your preferred exam date as seats are limited.
