Is this you?
Our centre heads across Uttar Pradesh come from every kind of background. Most had never run a business or taught a class before they started. What they have in common is that they wanted to work with children themselves.
With or without teaching experience. A business that is genuinely yours, on hours that work around your family. Many of our strongest centre heads started exactly here.
You already know how to work with children. Add a globally proven curriculum, your own centre, and income that belongs to you rather than to a school.
Coming back after a break, or starting out. You get complete training, a proven curriculum and a brand parents already recognise.
Each batch meets once a week, and we run classes at the weekend wherever possible. A centre genuinely can sit alongside a weekday job — provided you are the one teaching on Saturday or Sunday.
Already taking classes yourself? Add UCMAS to what you offer, open a new revenue stream, and stand apart from the centre down the road.
No business background, no teaching background, no maths background. We train you completely. The one thing we cannot train is wanting to do it.
One firm condition
We only award a franchise to someone who intends to take the classes themselves. If running a centre as a hands-off investment is what you are looking for, we are not the right fit, and it is better that you know that now than three conversations from now.
There are two reasons, and both come from watching what actually happens to centres.
The commercials
We would rather give you real numbers up front than make you sit through a meeting to hear them.
For a centre run from a spare room at home, set up for a batch of ten students. That covers the UCMAS franchisee package and the furniture — tables and chairs for a full batch — so you are not buying a licence and then discovering the real bill afterwards.
How long a centre generally takes to recover that investment, based on how our existing UP network performs. How fast you get there depends mostly on how actively you build your first two batches — and that is the part we help with.
No guesswork required. We will guide you every step of the way.
What your centre needs
You do not need commercial premises, a shopfront or a lease. Most of our centre heads start at home — the photograph beside this list is one of them. This is the full list of what the space has to have.
What you get
We are Abacus Educomp, the UCMAS Master Franchisee for Uttar Pradesh, operating from Aliganj in Lucknow. When you open a centre with us you are joining a network that already works across 19 cities — not testing a new idea.
Behind us sits UCMAS India, which began in 1999 and has grown into the largest national UCMAS network in the world: more than 6,000 centres across 25 states. Behind that sits the global organisation, running since 1993 in over 80 countries.
Before you commit
Ask these of us, and of everyone else you are considering. The answers will tell you a great deal.
Who you are partnering with
A franchise is only as good as the people behind it, so it is worth knowing exactly who you would be signing with. Abacus Educomp holds the UCMAS Master Franchise for Uttar Pradesh and operates from an office in Aliganj, Lucknow — a real address you can visit, not a phone number in another city.
That also means you are not two steps removed from the brand. We sit directly between your centre and UCMAS India, and UCMAS India sits directly beneath UCMAS global. When a question about curriculum, grading or competitions needs an answer, it is a short chain.
How it works
Call or send your details. Tell us which area you are thinking of and we will tell you straight away whether it is available and whether it makes sense.
Come to our office. We answer every question, show you exactly how a centre runs, and put you in touch with existing centre heads if you want to hear it from them.
We complete the paperwork together, confirm your area, and get your centre space and materials ready.
We certify you as an instructor, market your centre locally, and support you through your first batches of students.
Franchise FAQs
About ₹2 lakh for a centre run from a spare room at home, set up for a batch of ten students. That figure covers the UCMAS franchisee package and the furniture — tables and chairs for the full batch.
A typical centre recovers that investment in nine to twelve months.
No. A room of at least 150 sq ft at home is enough, provided it has a separate washroom, an area where parents can sit and wait, and drinking water. Most of our centre heads across Uttar Pradesh start exactly this way, with no lease and no shopfront.
No, and it is more common than you would think. We provide complete instructor training and certification before you take your first class, along with the full curriculum and assessment materials. You do not need a teaching background or a maths background — what matters is that you genuinely like working with children.
You teach. We award franchises only to people who will take the classes themselves, and this is the one condition we do not make exceptions to.
Two reasons. First, retention: if a hired trainer resigns midway through a level, you are replacing a certified instructor while a batch of children waits, and that takes months. Second, quality: when the owner is the person we trained, the teaching standard is set on day one and holds. Standards that depend on hired staff drift, and parents notice before you do.
Many of our centre heads do. Each batch meets once a week for two hours, and we run classes at the weekend wherever possible — so a centre with a few batches can fit into a Saturday and Sunday. The commitment that is not negotiable is that you are the one teaching those sessions, plus a weekday replacement class when a student has missed one.
The standard setup is built for a batch of ten. As your centre grows you add batches rather than a bigger room — each batch meets once a week for two hours, so a single room supports several batches across a weekend.
They are set per centre, for the specific city that centre operates in. What works in Lucknow or Noida is not what works in a district town, so quoting one number for all of Uttar Pradesh would be misleading.
We go through the exact structure for your centre and your city in the first conversation, before anything is signed. Nothing is hidden — we simply do not publish it, and you will have the full picture long before you commit.
It varies as centres open across Uttar Pradesh, so the quickest answer is to ask. Tell us the city and locality you are thinking of and we will confirm availability straight away, along with what the area looks like in terms of schools and demand.
The UCMAS brand, the complete curriculum and examination materials for every level, instructor training and certification, marketing support for launching your centre locally, systems for tracking students, and access to the international grading exams and competitions for your students. Plus a Master Franchisee office in Lucknow, regular franchise meets, and people who answer the phone.
