Japanese is fast growing as an international language. Japan is the second largest consumer of IT services. Learning Japanese is crucial for any kind of business interactions with Japan. India is aiming to be a leading IT services provider in the world. For India to tap the Japanese market we need people with a working knowledge of the Japanese language.

The Japanese course offered by the Institute takes the learner from the very scratch and gradually increases the knowledge of the basic vocabulary, script etc. The textbooks and approach of teaching adopted are such that the students can appear for the widely recognised Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) conducted annually by the Japan Foundation and Association of International Education, Japan.
