So, the British Council in Delhi is pretty awesome when it comes to IELTS classes. They have a fantastic teaching faculty who are experienced and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff! And the best part is, their classes are cost-effective too. So you get quality teaching without breaking the bank. It's a win-win! 😄👍

It’s a nice building in Kasturba Gandhi marg, Connaught Place. You can go as a visitor during the day and check out their library or sit in their spacious cafe on the ground floor called the Tin whistle. We went to check out their library and some other courses for self and children. Master certification courses for English post which you can teach and prepare students for IELTS. The menu is not much . Simple limited items like tea, coffee, sandwiches, burger, a bit of bakery items, croissant etc. it’s spacious though. Quiet place. Neat and clean. Masala tea is for 95 Rs. It was average. High priced as compared. Library is on the 1st floor. Other inquiries can be made from the staff seated there .

British Council is UK’s Organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. It is the official headquarters of British High Commission. I was completely overwhelmed and amazed by the beauty of the Building. I immediately fell in love with the place and the vibe it resonates. I found the place meticulously handled and maintained. They have a good system for taking and addressing the enquiries. They have a Library with array of Books and Novels in English Language. I loved the space it provided and the crowd that it attracts. You have to have the membership of the British Council Library to have access to it and to have space to read and or study. Not only this, if you have the membership, you get the whole wide space to have your study or even work with your laptops i.e. you are not restricted just to the library to read/study or work. I loved this arrangement and eagerly want to start the membership. British Council provides many courses in English Language including CELTA, Business English etc. Must visit and have a beautiful experience:)

The worst decision of 2023 was for me to renew my membership of thr British Council Library, after a gap of a few years. Thought I was becoming a member of a library but to my woe found out that this is now more of the ubiquitous "coaching centres" than an actual library. More than half of the book shelves have been shelved in favour of seating for those who need "coaching". Almost all of them are rote learning the management books and books required for IELTS. The entire fabulous DVD and media section has disappeared too. What astounds me most is the concept of an educational institution like the British Council lying/misrepresenting facts. While it clearly states on the British Council website that upon becoming a member, one can access DVD's, the entire section has been removed. Such is the lack of decorum at the British Council library/coaching centre, that the so called students hog all the seats while browsing content on their smartphones and extend their legs and belongings in such a manner that I was unable to browse the books on the shelves. No manners!

Thou infrastructure n facilities are good . But when it comes to dealing with visitors they are pathetic. Went there on Thursday afternoon, they have 4 counters to deal with visitors/enquiries , but 2 personnel were seating with only 1 visitor waiting for his turn. Even after 20 mints they failed to entertain him.
