IELTS, British Council and IDP are related.
IELTS was invented by the University of Cambridge, British Council and IDP all together. It so happens that in certain countries British Council is in charge of IELTS exams and in other countries IDP runs IELTS exams, and then there are countries where both British council and IDP offer IELTS exams, which people find confusing and are not sure where to go.
The most important thing for you to know is that IETS exams are the same worldwide, it doesn’t matter who supervises the test, British council or IDP. We have seen many times that in two different countries people have got the same questions and topics.
As to scoring, there are two parts of IELTS exam that are clerically marked – it means that your Answer Sheet is being checked by people who have clear instructions what answers are to be considered correct and incorrect. These two parts are the Reading and Listening and for those it doesn’t matter who does the grading.
