Dear student,

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). This exam is taken by students who wish to pursue their higher studies in foreign countries.

Exam is conducted by Educational Testing Service (ETS).

However, The conducting body of TOEFL has ceased the policy of TOEFL scholarship.  ETS no longer provides the scholarship for Indian test takers; rather a new concept of Grants and Awards has been devised.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA- ETS has not specified eligibility criteria for the exam. It can be taken by anybody who wish to study or work in foreign countries.

You wish to pursue your Phd abroad so for all the details regarding this you can refer to the article from this Link:

Hope this helps you.
