TOEFL Costs Beyond the Test Fee
The headline fee is not the whole cost. Registering late adds ₹3,900 and rescheduling costs ₹5,900 — between them, poor planning can add a third to your outlay. One thing TOEFL does include: if you select them during registration, scores go to up to four institutions at no extra charge. Decide your university shortlist before you book, not after.
