Every candidate is given a free diagnostic assessment before a coaching plan is built.

Thane, Maharashtra, India, 5 September 2026: Uma Educational Services runs coaching for seven examinations at its Wagle Industrial Estate centre in Thane West, covering IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, Duolingo, SAT, GRE and GMAT, and gives every candidate a free initial counselling and diagnostic session before any plan is set.

The diagnostic exists to fix the target before the teaching starts. Candidates are asked to bring their target universities' English score requirements to the first session, so that a band target is set against the actual application rather than against a generic benchmark.

IELTS candidates are taught for both Academic and General Training, with the centre confirming which one the target university or visa category requires before the plan is built. Every candidate receives individual speaking practice in every session rather than group speaking work alone, which the company says is the section most often left to look after itself in batch teaching.
The same team handles coaching, university shortlisting and visa guidance, which the company says is the point of running all three under one roof: a band target that is not connected to a real application list is a number without a purpose.

On the frequent question of whether IELTS is harder than PTE, the centre's position is that neither is inherently harder. The two test the same skills differently, with IELTS running a live speaking interview and PTE scored by machine with no examiner present, and which feels easier depends on the candidate.

Candidates can book a free counselling session for IELTS coaching in Thane or for PTE coaching in Thane and the other five examinations at the Wagle Industrial Estate office, or by phone.
