TOLC-ENGINEERING is the online engineering test provided by Cisia (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems).
If you want to know how to register for the TOLC-I, you can find all the information on the Cisia portal.
You can only use TOLC-I as an alternative to TOL if the score converted to TOL score is at least equal to the minimum score required for enrolment.
To convert the score, go to the Alternative Test Scores page
The TOLC-I also includes an English section (30 questions in 15 minutes).
If you have given fewer than 24 correct answers in the English section, you will be enrolled with the OFA (additional educational obligations) for English.
