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.

The Road Map

What do we aim to do?

• To provide ample academic support for interested students to learn various foreign languages
• To create awareness among the students on the importance of learning foreign languages to meet and exceed the expectations of the global market.
• To enable students to communicate effectively in a foreign language and interact in a culturally appropriate manner with native speakers of that language.
• To produce engineers with multilingual skills to aid them in the process of placement and also to become better research scholars.
• To generate a common window for various foreign languages that will be beneficial to both the students and campus recruiters.
