Centre for Foreign Languages

Centre for Foreign Languages (CFL), a new innovative centre is established in our college with the notion of improving employability of our students. It intends to promote learning various foreign languages, literature and culture. Currently, the focus is on the study of language.

Proficiency in a foreign language is an added advantage for students at the time of placements and it opens up opportunities for global workplaces. Being multilingual is the need of the hour in this globalised era and our institution aims at producing employable engineers by providing them with all the requisites of the current globalised market.

Multilingual skills help our engineers to translate scientific and technical documents of foreign languages in their own native language and to enrich themselves to carry out their research in other countries. This centre currently acts as a platform for our students to learn Japanese language and equip themselves to aim for international and national placement.
