NEW DELHI: Educational Testing Service (ETS), the world’s largest educational assessment, research, and measurement organization, has opened its first-ever test centre in the Kashmir Valley. The test centre is located at Hashtag Educational Services in Regal Chowk, Srinagar, and offers easy accessibility to test-takers.
This is a significant development for study abroad aspirants in the region, as it is the first time that a global assessment organization has set up a dedicated testing facility in Kashmir. This will eliminate the need for students to travel to other states to take the TOEFL and GRE exams, which can be a time-consuming and expensive process.
The test centre is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and adheres to stringent test security protocols to ensure a seamless testing experience for all test-takers. 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.
In a statement, Sachin Jain, Country Manager, ETS India & South Asia, said, “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.” He added, “Our breadth of initiatives across education, including global assessments, English language competency assessments from K-12 to College, skill development and assessment services, is a testimony to our commitment to invest in India and accelerate its journey to becoming a global knowledge powerhouse.”
