The PTE exam registration fees have been hiked to INR 14000 from INR 15900 including GST.
There is no such centre that can be considered as the best for PTE exam because it only tests your language efficiency. So, no matter which centre you take the exam from, the marking will be unique. Unlike many other exams, PTE test follows a standardized marking pattern that has been well defined by the PTE body.

Yes, you can provided you have required skills in Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. As PTE exam does not have any syllabus and tests only how proficient you are in English language, coaching is only an add-on.
‘A student is no better than a teacher’ goes the famous adage. As there are a huge number of PTE centres around us, consider a few factors - previous students’ PTE results / certificates like the ones you may find on the page here; the videos of high scorers like the ones on the Youtube channel here and finally, the reviews from your friends and on google.

Never. A template of essay or speaking may work well with an examiner if he or she values it for the first time. However, if she / he gets to mark the same second time, your chance of scoring high in the test will be very less. Nevertheless, it might affect your scoring dangerously because it is treated as plagiarism. Remember, PTE examiners are more trained and smarter than us so that they can easily understand such contents.
