The era of pencils and erasers is officially over. The British Council and IDP have confirmed that IELTS Paper-Based testing will be discontinued globally by June 2026. For students in Pokhara, the shift to IELTS on Computer is no longer an option—it is a requirement.

While many consultancies are just now learning about this change, Nmark Education is already leading the way.

1. The Final Deadlines for Paper-Based IELTS

If you are determined to take the paper-based test, you must book immediately.

• Final UKVI Paper Test: The last available dates for IELTS for UKVI on Paper in Nepal are March 21, 2026.
• Final Standard Paper Test: All paper-based testing (Academic and General) will cease worldwide after June 27, 2026.

2. Why Nmark is Your Best Choice for the Digital Shift

Unlike other centers, Nmark Education didn’t have to “hurry” to prepare for this. Because we are already a premier PTE training center, our infrastructure is specifically designed for high-stakes computer-based exams.

• PTE-Grade Computer Lab: Our lab features the same high-speed systems and noise-canceling headphones used in official test centers.
• Small Batch Focus: We limit our classes to max 10 students. This ensures you get individual attention on your typing speed, on-screen highlighting, and digital note-taking—skills that a crowded classroom can’t provide.
• IELTS One Skill Retake (OSR): By taking the test on a computer, you gain the exclusive right to retake just one section (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking) if you don’t hit your target score. This feature is NOT available for paper-based tests.
