It is how learners join Umran Language Academy. Fellowship holders study a language from A1 to B2 free of tuition, as long as they keep at least 75% attendance and pass each level exam.
Who can apply?
Anyone above 15 years of age, from any country and background, who is committed to attending classes regularly.
How do I apply?
Fill in the application form, pay the one-time application fee and take the online entrance exam. Qualified applicants receive a fellowship email with their batch details.
Which languages are offered?
17 languages across our schools. Each school page shows whether admissions are open and lists the timetable and faculty.
Fees & payments
Is there a course fee?
No. There is only a one-time application fee of ₹100 (₹103 including the payment gateway charge). Tuition is free for fellowship holders.
Is the application fee refundable?
No. The fee covers the entrance exam and administration and is not refundable or transferable. Please read the Terms & Conditions before applying.
What if I fail or lose my fellowship?
You can re-apply for a later intake to repeat or rejoin a level by paying the application fee again (₹100).
Classes & certificates
How are classes organised?
Six levels from A1 to B2. Each level is a 12-week term of 24 live online sessions of 90 minutes (two per week, on weekends), in batches of 15–20 learners.
How am I assessed?
Attendance 10%, assignments 20%, midterm 20%, final exam 30% and oral exam 20%.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes, a certificate for every level you complete. UGS certificates are not official qualifications and recognition by universities or employers is not guaranteed; acceptance is at the discretion of each institution.
UGS Teaching Fellowship
Can I teach at UGS?
Yes. Graduate, postgraduate and PhD students of languages and fluent speakers can apply for the UGS Teaching Fellowship.
Is the Teaching Fellowship paid?
No. It is an honorary fellowship without a stipend. Fellows gain teaching practice, training and guidance, syllabus and exam experience, a certificate, recommendation letters on request and a lasting network.
Are internships available?
Yes — in teaching support, content, outreach, design and more. See Opportunities in the menu.
Donations
Are donations tax-deductible?
Umran Green Perspective Foundation is registered under Section 12A and approved under Section 80G. Donations from India are eligible for deduction under Section 80G, subject to applicable limits.
Can I donate from outside India?
Not at the moment. The Foundation is not registered under FCRA, so we can accept donations only from donors in India, in Indian Rupees.
