    Some employers prefer it so that they know you are certified in your knowledge of English.

  17. Mani Karthik

    Absolutely. This is a good decision Shri. I would suggest taking it online so you can finish it whenever you want to and have access to International curriculum. It only costs about Rs.2000 for a month. Why bother going to a local place?

  18. Mani Karthik

    Taking the TOEFL is definitely a big plus Gaurav. I recommend going to Jamboree or taking an online test (starts for Rs.1000), so you can do it from anywhere.
