In Hyderabad, Alliance Française d'Hyderabad runs the e-TEF, the computer based TEF Canada that IRCC accepts for Express Entry and Canadian citizenship. The centre publishes its sittings as a slot table, and each slot carries its own last date to book printed alongside it. That deadline, not the exam date, is what you are actually racing, and it sits days or weeks ahead of the sitting itself.

Taking the exam in Hyderabad?
Run a full mock exam under real exam timing first, so test day is not the first time you sit all four sections end to end.

From the centre's official information. Written in our own words, never republished.
Every slot carries its own booking deadline. The centre's e-TEF page lists sittings across the year with a last date to book printed against each one, so two slots a fortnight apart can have very different cut-offs. Read the deadline on the slot, not the exam date.
That deadline is the thing to plan around. A January slot can stop taking bookings at the start of the same month, which means a candidate who starts looking a fortnight before the exam has already missed it even though the date is still in the future.
This is the e-TEF, the computer based version, taken on screen at the centre. It covers the four TEF Canada modules, listening, reading, writing and speaking, which is the combination Express Entry and permanent residence require.
Check the slot table again before you commit to a date. The page is a published schedule rather than a live seat counter, so confirm with the centre that your slot is still open when you register instead of reading the table as availability.
How to book the TEF exam in Hyderabad
- 01
Open the centre's e-TEF page and read the slot table. Sittings are listed across the year, each with its own last date to book.
- 02
Pick your slot by its booking deadline rather than by the exam date. The deadline is what closes first, and it can sit a week or more ahead of the sitting.
- 03
Confirm the fee and the venue with the centre when you register. Other Alliance Française centres in India list the full TEF Canada at ₹26,000, which is a reasonable figure to budget while you confirm the local one.
- 04
Register the exam you actually need. Express Entry and permanent residence use the four module TEF Canada, not the shorter citizenship version.
- 05
Keep the confirmation. It is your record of the slot, the venue and the timing, and it is what to check against if the published table changes.

Hyderabad centre FAQ
How do exam slots work at Alliance Française d'Hyderabad?
The centre publishes its e-TEF sittings as a slot table, and each slot has its own last date to book printed next to it. You choose a slot and register before that date, so the deadline on the slot matters more than the exam date itself.
How early do I have to book a TEF slot in Hyderabad?
Earlier than the exam date suggests. The centre prints a separate booking deadline for each slot and it can fall a week or more before the sitting, so check the deadline on the specific slot rather than assuming you can register up to the exam day.
Is the exam in Hyderabad on paper or on computer?
The centre runs the e-TEF, which is the computer based version of the TEF Canada. It is taken on screen at the centre and covers the four modules, listening, reading, writing and speaking, that Express Entry requires.
