E-TEF is an internationally recognised exam. It is organised as per extremely strict rules and regulations. These rules are non-negotiable and registering for the exam constitutes a binding contract on the part of the candidate. It is compulsory for each candidate to go through all the rules of the exam before registration. Failure to do so is an error on the part of the candidate and Alliance Française de Bombay cannot be held accountable for the same under any circumstances. Failure to abide by even a single rule will result in the candidate being declared as non-admissible – the fees of such candidates will be considered forfeited and will not be refunded/transferred under any circumstances.

Any candidate who comes to the examination centre without a printed (hard copy) of the second dose certificate (taken at least 14 days before the exam) of Covid-19 vaccination will immediately be asked to leave the premises and will not be allowed to appear for the exam. The examination fees of such candidates will be considered forfeited and will not be refunded/transferred to another session under any circumstances.
