Publishes each session with a seats-left counter. Returned or unpaid places can reappear.
Checked every 90 seconds to a few minutes. You get an email for any new session, and whenever a sold-out session gets a seat back.
How to book in Mumbai, step by step
- Registration opens online at midnight IST at the start of each published registration period (the October–December 2026 dates opened on 1 September; the centre now says the next registrations open at midnight between 30 November and 1 December). Laptop or desktop only — the registration link isn’t mobile-compatible.
- Log in to the AF Bombay online registration platform. If you took a course there since April 2017, use that email and “Get my password”; otherwise create an account choosing Churchgate as your centre.
- Add TEF Canada to your cart (TEFAQ or TEF pour les études en France are added separately) and pay by credit or debit card.
- Straight after paying, email tef.mumbai@afindia.org (cc helpdesk.mumbai@afindia.org) the signed registration form and “Conditions d’inscription et de passation”, a passport photo, scans of your passport (first and last page), PAN card and Aadhaar card, and the payment receipt — before the registration deadline.
- Your individual time slot is allocated at random and emailed 2–3 days before the exam.
Good to know in Mumbai
Runs TEF Canada (not TCF Canada). Each published registration period opens online at midnight IST, laptop or desktop only; seats are first come, first served and sessions show as sold out once full. No on-site registration.
- Keep the whole exam day free: slots are randomly assigned, can be at any time of day and can’t be changed.
- Arrive 30 minutes before your slot. Latecomers are marked non-admissible and lose the fee.
- Bring a printed fee receipt (digital copies aren’t accepted) plus your original passport, PAN card and Aadhaar card.
- Bring your own pens, pencils and drinking water. Phones and bags aren’t allowed in the hall and the centre won’t look after them, so travel light.
- A missing or cut-off scan in your document email makes you non-admissible with no refund, so check every page before sending.
- The rules page still mentions a printed Covid-19 vaccination certificate; ask the exams team whether it still applies before your date.
