You need to have passed Class 12 or its equivalent from a recognized Board of Education with at least 50% marks. You can apply through their website – http://205.147.97.190/islrtcapp/.
  • Certificate courses are conducted as well by many NGOs. The Deaf EnAbled Foundation has about 10 centers throughout India. They offer three-month or six-month courses. The courses are held during weekends and anyone of any age or educational background can join.
  • One can also learn by watching videos online, or take an online course, or download an app to learn ISL.
