British Council Nepal Awards the Top Performing IELTS Registration Agents
The British Council Nepal celebrated a memorable event of the IELTS Partner Summit on 26 September 2023 at The Soaltee Kathmandu.
The event brought together a range of IELTS partners to celebrate our work in helping young Nepali students and professionals gain access to international education and career development opportunities.
The celebration reflected the strong relationship between the British Council and IELTS partners and it reinforced our collective commitment towards enhancing education opportunities in Nepal by connecting Nepalese with international qualifications from diverse fields.
The event honoured outstanding partners who demonstrated exceptional dedication and contributions to IELTS test volumes from April 2023 to March 2024.
During the event, we also launched the second season of the ‘IELTS Upahaar Campaign’. This exciting campaign offers a monthly prize of an Apple MacBook Air, along with a special bumper prize. The bumper prize includes two one-way Turkish Airlines tickets to the UK and USA, generously sponsored by Turkish Airlines. The bumper prize also features a one-way ticket to Australia, which can be redeemed with any airline except Turkish Airlines. This campaign marks a significant collaboration between the British Council and Turkish Airlines, further enriching the prize offerings and the experience for IELTS test takers.
To be eligible to participate in this campaign, one need to book and pay for the IELTS with the British Council. The offer is valid for all IELTS on paper and IELTS on computer registrations paid between 26 September and 30 November, for any test dates starting from October 2024 onwards.

Matt Walters, Head of Political, British Embassy in Kathmandu at the event highlighted, "With over 200 years of partnership, Nepal and the UK have a unique relationship. Education plays a vital role in this, deepening our bonds of friendship, particularly through young people. The English language opens doors to many opportunities here and abroad and the UK is proud of our world-renowned institutions and qualifications. We’re also proud of Nepali students choosing the UK, many of whom return with valuable skills to help grow the economy."

Whether through formal education, vocational training, or arts and culture, we’ve proudly supported Nepal for over 65 years. Our work with the government and partners creates opportunities, empowering young Nepalis to tackle the challenges ahead and contribute to their communities, and help Nepal achieve its development ambitions.”
