Ways to check IELTS results

Online access through official portals

Students in Bangladesh access official results via the test taker portal provided by the test administrator. Use the login details shown in your test confirmation email or registration documents. Typical login items include a reference number, registered email, or a username and password.

For computer-based and online tests, results and the electronic Test Report Form can appear in a few days.

For paper-based tests, results are usually available up to 13 days after the test date.

The portal shows your overall score summary and each skill score. Download the eTRF if offered.

Collecting the paper Test Report Form (TRF)

If your test issued a paper TRF, you may collect it from the test centre or request postal delivery. Bring the same ID used for registration. Test centres in Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, and other cities follow local collection rules. Ask your local centre about opening hours and holding periods.

What is the TRF and how verification works

TRF and eTRF explained

The Test Report Form is the official document that records your test outcome. It comes as a paper TRF or an electronic TRF (eTRF). The document serves as proof of language ability for applications. The standard validity period is two years from the test date. After that, organisations may ask for proof of continued study or recent language practice.

How institutions verify results

Recognising organisations check results through the secure verification service. They use the TRF number or the electronic delivery system to confirm authenticity. Personal photocopies cannot replace official verification. When you nominate an organisation to receive your result, the test centre or portal transmits the record directly to that organisation.

How to send your IELTS results to universities and immigration

Free allocations and extra copies

At the time of registration you may nominate a set number of organisations to receive free official copies. If you need to send results to more institutions after registration, you must request extra copies and pay an administrative fee. Fees vary by test centre and delivery method.

Delivery options and what works best

- Electronic delivery (eTRF): Fastest. Use this for universities that accept digital verification. It cuts courier cost and reduces delay.

- Postal or courier (paper TRF): Use only if the receiving institution requires an original paper document. This can add courier fees and transit time.

Local cost notes (Bangladesh)

Charges for extra copies and courier services differ by provider and centre. Confirm fees and estimated delivery times with your test centre before requesting an extra paper TRF.

If you lose your TRF

Steps to request a replacement or extra copy

- Contact your test centre and request a reissue or extra copy form.

- Submit required ID documents and proof of payment.

- Pay the declared fee. Processing times vary; ask the centre for an estimate.

If you took a computer or online test and received an eTRF, you can normally re-download the document from the portal. That saves cost and time.

Questioning a result: Enquiry on Results (re-mark)

When to apply

If a score looks incorrect, file an Enquiry on Results within the deadline set by the test administrator. This deadline is strict. Start the enquiry process as soon as you find a concern.

How it works

You select one or more test sections for review and submit a request through the portal or test centre. A fee applies. If any score increases after review, the fee is refunded.

Timing and outcome

Outcomes may be available the same day or within several weeks, depending on the sections reviewed and workload. If you do not receive a response after the stated period, follow up with the centre.

Common issues and quick fixes

- Cannot log in: Check the reference number, email, or username. Use password reset options if available. Contact the test centre for account support.

- No result email: Log in to the portal directly. Email delivery may be delayed by local email filters.

- Portal shows indicative result only: Wait for official confirmation and eTRF availability before sending documents to institutions.

- University will not accept an electronic copy: Request a paper TRF and arrange courier delivery. Confirm exact postal address and delivery instructions with the receiving office.

Step-by-step checklist for Bangladeshi students

Keep your registration documents and ID safe after the test.

Check the test taker portal using your login details as soon as you receive the notification.

Download and save the eTRF if available. Keep a printed copy for your records.

Nominate your initial set of institutions while registering or use the portal to send eTRF.

If you need more copies, request additional TRFs and confirm fees with your test centre.

If you suspect a mistake, file an Enquiry on Results promptly.

If a TRF is lost, contact the centre to request a reissue and follow their process.
