“A DET score is more than a requirement on an application, it’s a passport to opportunity,” said Tara Kapur, India Market Lead, Duolingo English Test. “By turning test results into real benefits, we are making the DET Score work harder for students, proving its value as both a credential and a catalyst for success. We already run a robust student ambassador community with our DETermined Program, given our commitment to building long-lasting connections with Indian students. With partners like UPI Study, we have identified another way where we are able to present the DET as more than just a test for millions of study-abroad aspirants in India.”
