ETS claims that the centre is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and adheres to stringent test security protocols to ensure a seamless testing experience to both TOEFL and GRE test takers.
US-based Educational Testing Service (ETS) today announced that they will set up test centres for TOEFL and GRE in the Kashmir valley. The test centre will come up at Hashtag Educational Services, located at the Regal Chowk, Srinagar. The aim of setting up the test centres in a prime location is to offer easy accessibility to the test takers.
ETS is the nonprofit educational assessment, research and measurement organisation and the owner of assessments such as TOEFL and GRE.
This is the first time a global assessment organisation has set up a dedicated testing facility in the region, claims ETS. Before this, students from the Valley usually had to travel to Punjab to appear for TOEFL or GRE test. ETS claims that the centre is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and adheres to stringent test security protocols to ensure a seamless testing experience to both TOEFL and GRE test takers.
“Following this development, ETS India plans to further invest in partnering with agents and educational institutions in the Kashmir region, to support local students in their study abroad journeys,” the official release stated.
“We are delighted to work with Hashtag Educational Services in setting up a world-class testing centre in Kashmir, also our first in the Valley, thereby enabling significant ease of access to study abroad aspirants,” said Sachin Jain, Country Manager, ETS India and South Asia.
