Provide an online English result to accepting institutions.

Registration guidance checked 2026-09-29. Fees, identity rules and appointment availability can change.

01 / PLAN YOUR DATE

When can I take it?

DET is on demand rather than an annual exam calendar. The single-test credit must be used within 21 days of purchase; bundles have their own second-credit timing. No institution’s 2027 deadline or unchanged future policy is implied.

02 / BUDGET FOR THE TEST

Registration fees

DET advertises USD 70 for one online test. This global reference is usable for India/Oman planning; it is not a verified local tax-inclusive checkout total. Bundles and faster-results options are separate.

Checked 2026-09-29 · Global advertised USD single-test price · India/Oman planning. Confirm the final charge and optional services in your account. A test credit’s completion-attempt allowance is not a bundle of certified tests.

YOUR REGISTRATION PATH

From choosing the test to test day

Follow these steps with the official provider. Keep your application number, confirmation and receipt together.

  1. Confirm your programme accepts DET for the intended intake and note its score and submission deadline.

  2. Try the free practice and check the current computer, desktop app, secondary phone-camera and room requirements before purchasing.

  3. Create or sign in to your own DET account. Match your full legal name to an accepted original ID; the official table lists passport only for India and passport or driver’s licence for Oman.

  4. Choose a single test or bundle, check the displayed price and optional services, then pay through the official account flow.

  5. Complete the test within the credit’s 21-day purchase window. On-demand testing does not require a test-centre appointment.

  6. Follow the desktop setup, phone camera and room/ear scans. Install the mobile app if your setup flow directs you; it does not replace the desktop test.

  7. Finish and upload the test, await certification, then share the certified result through the provider. A purchased credit and a practice estimate do not guarantee a certified result.

A final check before paying

The right requirement

Confirm the exam version, delivery mode, required scores and score deadline for your programme. Admission and visa English requirements can differ.

The right identity

Match your booking to the provider’s accepted ID. Check document validity, spelling and any country-specific rules before confirming.

The complete amount

Review the checkout currency, taxes, optional extras and change or cancellation terms. A price for India is not an Oman price.

Published dates describe a calendar, not available seats. The provider’s confirmation establishes your booking. An unannounced 2027 date or fee should stay out of your confirmed plan.
