No. Short forms / acronyms are not allowed. There are several acceptable abbreviations you can use in all parts of IELTS, such as 10am / 10 a.m., 100m, 5kg, amongst some others. In a few cases, even some well-known acronyms are allowed, such as UK, US and yes — IELTS. However, to avoid losing marks, you should always try to write the full form of a word if you can spell them (correctly). So, if the answer is, for example, New England, then do not write 'NE'.
