EEC operates 5 centres across Surat — Parvat Patia (Dumbhal), Vesu, Ghod Dod Road, Katargam, and Mota Varachha — offering the complete new-format TOEFL programme at ₹7,500. With the new TOEFL format launched January 21, 2026 bringing adaptive sections, a 1-6 band scale, and entirely new question types, students need coaching that is fully updated — and EEC is Surat's only TOEFL coaching provider with a Day 1 new-format curriculum. In this guide, we cover all 5 Surat centres, coaching modes, new format expertise, and how TOEFL coaching integrates with EEC's free study abroad counselling.

5 TOEFL Coaching Centres in Surat — Surat's Largest Network

EEC's 5 Surat centres are strategically spread across the city to ensure maximum accessibility. Whether you live in the central commercial zones, the premium southern areas, or the bustling northern neighbourhoods, an EEC TOEFL coaching centre is within a short commute. Each centre offers the identical new-format curriculum at ₹7,500, with trained faculty, computer labs for adaptive section practice, and free study abroad counselling.

EEC Parvat Patia (Dumbhal) — Surat's TOEFL Hub

The Parvat Patia centre is EEC's branch in the bustling Dumbhal area of Surat, located at UG-10, AM'S, Shri Vardhan Textile Market, above Zudio and opposite Samrat International School. Parvat Patia and Dumbhal are home to a large number of students and young professionals, many of whom are preparing for MS programmes in the USA or immigration to Canada. This centre offers three daily batches — morning, afternoon, and evening — providing maximum scheduling flexibility. The dedicated computer lab allows students to practise adaptive Reading and Listening modules under exam-like conditions. Students preparing for multiple exams can also explore IELTS preparation at EEC and PTE Academic coaching at the same branch.

As a key Surat hub, the Parvat Patia centre also houses senior study abroad counsellors who handle USA, Canada, and Germany admissions. Students preparing for TOEFL here benefit from integrated coaching + counselling — your trainer knows your target universities and tailors your preparation to the specific score requirements. The Dumbhal area is well-connected to Puna, Udhna, and central Surat, making this centre a convenient choice for students across southern and central Surat.

EEC Vesu — South Surat Hub

Vesu has emerged as Surat's premium education and residential zone, and EEC's Vesu centre caters to the area's growing study abroad population. Located on the 1st Floor of the International Finance Centre (IFC) on VIP Road, Vesu, this centre is easily accessible from Piplod, Althan, Jahangirpura, and surrounding areas. The Vesu branch sees a high proportion of students from affluent families targeting top-tier US universities where Band 5.0+ is expected. EEC's trainers at Vesu specialise in advanced preparation strategies that push scores from 4.5 to 5.0 and beyond.

EEC Ghod Dod Road — Premium Athwa Zone TOEFL Coaching

The Ghod Dod Road centre is located on the 3rd Floor of Jade Blue Union Square, one of the most recognisable landmarks on Ghod Dod Road. This centre serves Surat's upscale Athwa, Parle Point, City Light, and Adajan areas. With morning and evening batches, it caters to both college students and working professionals. The centre is particularly popular with diamond and textile industry professionals preparing TOEFL for business immigration to Canada or executive MBA programmes in the USA. For students comparing English proficiency tests, our TOEFL vs IELTS comparison is a must-read.

“Surat students are ambitious, driven, and increasingly global. Five EEC centres means expert TOEFL coaching is never more than 15 minutes away — no matter which part of Surat you live in.”

EEC Katargam — Central Surat TOEFL Centre

The Katargam centre is located on the 2nd Floor of Neeru Farms, near Rajhans Flamingo on Gajera Road, Priya Park Society. Katargam is one of Surat's most well-connected areas, serving students from Varachha, Udhna, Limbayat, and the broader central Surat belt. This centre has three daily batches and attracts a diverse student body, from engineering undergraduates to experienced professionals. Many students at this centre are first-generation study abroad aspirants from business families in Surat's textile and diamond sectors. EEC's trainers provide additional foundational English support for students from Gujarati-medium backgrounds, ensuring they build the language base needed for strong TOEFL performance.

EEC Mota Varachha — North Surat TOEFL Centre

Mota Varachha is one of Surat's most densely populated areas, and EEC's presence here ensures that north Surat students have convenient access to quality TOEFL coaching without travelling across the city. The centre offers morning and evening batches, the complete new-format curriculum, and free study abroad counselling. Students from Mota Varachha, Nana Varachha, Kapodra, and surrounding areas choose this centre — located on the 4th Floor of Opera Business Hub at Lajamni Chowk — for its proximity and the quality of instruction that matches every other EEC Surat branch.

New TOEFL Format Expertise — January 2026 Curriculum

The new TOEFL iBT launched January 21, 2026 with sweeping changes: a 1-6 band scoring scale replacing the old 0-120, adaptive Reading and Listening sections, no independent essay, new question types (Complete the Words, Build a Sentence, Write an Email, Listen and Repeat, Take an Interview), and a ~2-hour duration instead of ~3 hours. The test fee in India is ₹16,900.

EEC's Surat centres were updated on Day 1 of the new format launch. Every trainer has been retrained, every practice resource rebuilt, and every mock test redesigned for the new format. Students at any of the 5 Surat centres receive preparation that is 100% current — not outdated material recycled from the old test. Our trainers walk students through adaptive module simulations, timed email writing practice, sentence building drills, and natural interview speaking exercises that mirror the actual new-format experience.

Study Abroad Services in Surat — TOEFL + University Admissions + Visa

Every EEC Surat centre provides FREE study abroad counselling alongside TOEFL coaching. This means your ₹7,500 investment covers not just test preparation but also university shortlisting for USA, Canada, Germany, and 37+ other countries, SOP/LOR guidance, application management, visa documentation, education loan assistance, and pre-departure orientation. No additional counselling fee — ever.

Surat's entrepreneurial families have traditionally sent students to the USA for MS and MBA programmes. In recent years, Canada has surged in popularity for immigration and work opportunities. EEC's Surat centres have dedicated counsellors for both destinations who understand the specific requirements, timelines, and documentation needed. Your TOEFL preparation is tailored to your target destination — a student targeting Canadian universities needing Band 4.0 gets a different strategy than one aiming for top US universities requiring Band 5.0+.
