Can I get a refund if I cancel?

Each Alliance Française sets its own policy. The default rule is that there is no refund within the 15 days before the session. Read the registration terms before paying.

Are prep classes included?

No. The exam fee covers only the sitting and the official diploma. Prep classes, mock tests and private tutoring are billed separately.

DELF · Fees

The fee climbs with the level you sit.

DELF A1 is the cheapest entry point. The price tends to climb with the level, though many centres charge the same band for B1 and B2. Within India the gap between cities, and between internal and external pricing at the same centre, can be wider than the gap between two levels.

Frequently asked questions

Answers anchored in the published rules from France Éducation International and the French government.

The higher level sittings run longer, the writing tasks demand more correction time, and the speaking section is a structured debate rather than a short interview. The price scales with the time the centre invests in marking and examining.
