ITS is an authorised TCS centre (#35351). Details for 2024 will be posted here when they become available.

The ELAT is a requirement for applicants to a range of English joint degrees at the University of Oxford (other subjects may also need additional testing as well). Check the University of Oxford website for more details.

It is a very particular test requiring the comparison of two passages from a choice of six. The task is open-ended and therefore tests not only your ability in English Language and Literature but also your opinion on what is important in the academic study of these subjects.

Your result will help universities determine whether or not to interview you. Even after interview, your result will remain as part of the total consideration of whether to offer you a place.

The test is now run by Tata Consultancy Services and ITS Education Asia is an authorised centre (#35351) for this test. Exam dates are held each year in late October/early November. Candidates can enrol directly with ITS, where we are BOTH the enrolling and examining centre for this test.
