520			_aThe ability to communicate in English language is being increasingly viewed as an essential skill requirement globally today. The availability of better prospects and higher living standards in developed countries have propelled people from Third World countries to obtain proficiency in English language. IELTS as an English language proficiency testing system evaluates an individual's core competency in English, and is considered mandatory for anyone planning to move to Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and of recent, the Unites States for work or study purposes. A field-based study was conducted from 2015 through 2017, using convenience sampling and participant observation across four IELTS institutions at Sector 17 in Chandigarh. The paper focuses on the role of IELTS institutions in facilitating migration across borders. Additionally, it also lays emphasis on the structure of IELTS and captures the demographic and socio-economic profile of the IELTS test takers in Chandigarh.- Reproduced https://purjss.puchd.ac.in/issues/2021/purjss-vol29-3-2021.pdf
