British Council

after a quick call to the executive on the other side, was surprised to hear that there is no British Council available in Mumbai!!!! The office premise address given (India Bulls) is no more, British council is only available at Chennai, Delhi and one of the south cities.

The British Council's Office is not there. I called on the given call centre number, it is somewhere in Noida or Delhi, as per truecaller. I still thought i should visit the place to get in-person information about certain courses. so i visited the place (on 23rd Nov, 2022) as it is still shown on google with address and the photos. On reaching this floor which had DBS plastered all over, the receptionist said the Office was closed down after covid pandemic. It was there with the library and all before. I got no more information over there. So now, MUMBAI BEING SUCH A HUB FOR BUSINESS AND EDUCATION, THIS OFFICE IS NOT IN MUMBAI AND ONLY IN Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai!!?? Wow! Mumbai is flooding with international schools and mumbai residents aspiring to be an IGCSE teacher should fly to Delhi to do a Cambridge 's teacher training course!? Seriously? P.S. Most people prefer offline course over online. I guess everyone has seen enough of "online" during the lockdowns.

Pathetic people, useless and rude staff. When I enquired about the classes so I registered as you didn't mentioned any fees so one of staff called me he told me about your fees n all after that I felt that time and fees is not suitable for me so I said no straight away next to their staff is asking why did you enquir and wasted our time so I wanted to ask we can only ask if we are going to join? How pathetic is this you don't train your staff that how you should behave normally? Please I would suggest don't join such people they are just taking money and not teaching anything

Their collection is laughable. I took membership after I got admitted into an MA in English Literature because I figured - hey which library in the city could have a better collection of British/English literature than the 'British' Council Library, right? NO! They have TWO titles of Shakespeare, nothing for the majority of classical writers, almost none of the classics and certainly nothing of note in other fiction books either. They had maybe 10% of what I needed. I eventually took a membership at my local library which surprisingly had a much better collection.

The perfect place to give your IELTS test. Staff was very helpful and polite. Pro tip: Go through the whole resources on their website, I went through it more than once. I have got 7.5 in listening & reading while I got 6.0 and 6.5 in writing and speaking. Best of luck to whoevers giving the exam in 2021.
