After getting residency rights for Indians in Canada, he again returned to USA for completion of AM Degree in Columbia University. But he was barred from studying there on the plea that he had participated in a movement against Canadian Government; and that as such he had lost right to study there.

Then Teja Singh took admission in Harvard University for which he had applied whilst he was in India itself. Since no such report or complaint had been received by Harvard University against him; so the admission was granted. Teja Singh completed his A.M. degree in 1913 with his Sikh identity intact.

On his return to India, at the behest of his Mentor, Sant Attar Singhji, in pursuance of his faith, Professor Teja Singh shunned comfort to find riches in poverty and started teaching in a Primary School in an ashram at Mastuana Sahib.

Later he served as Principal of Gujranwala College from 1917-1919 on the instructions of Sant Attar Singh.
