Since September 2018, CELPIP aspirants in India had only one option for a test center: Chandigarh. That is soon to change, as CELPIP have announced something very exciting!
Indian test takers now have TWO CELPIP test center options, with a new test center having been opened in New Delhi on February 6, 2020. While this test center in North India does not alleviate the travel concerns of test takers from South India, it, however, does provide an alternative for those who couldn’t travel to Chandigarh. Let’s hope they establish a new test center elsewhere in India as well by the end of 2020!
The new CELPIP test center at MeritTrac Services in New Delhi has test dates starting from February 28, 2020. To register, click on this link.
MeritTrac Services currently offers CELPIP test dates five times each month.

Make sure you call up the test center and ask them about their ambience and set-up. Different test centers follow different procedures for entry and identity verification, so it never hurts to ask what they require from you before you book a test date.

Either exam could be fine, but this depends a lot on type of exam you had taken (Paper based or computer based) and what you’re comfortable with, as the CELPIP is entirely computer-based. This is just one minor difference. There are many more differences, as both exams are quite unique. Please check out this post: https://8777ielts.com/2018/11/25/easier-exam-ielts-celpip/
