IELTS Prep Sessions

Girls this is a great opportunity!

The ABP’s Sabeel Centre, on L2 between D and E wings, provides language support for students, including dedicated IELTS sessions on three days a week between 10 and noon. Students can also obtain individualised support by signing up for tutorial sessions.

For the upcoming SETSL day on 5th October, one of our faculty will be holding a workshop on “IELTS Tips & Tricks”. If there is sufficient interest, it may be possible to set up a workshop specifically for CCMS students.
