UPTLC also provides Tamil Literature, both as Pure & Elective programmes. All pupils attend classes twice a week, while those taking Basic Tamil and Tamil Literature attend classes once a week. The Tamil Literature course is a two-year course conducted at Sec 3 and Sec 4.  The Centre also conducts a wide range of enrichment and cultural activities for pupils.
