Programmes. In addition, the Department also offers one regular Programme, known as Diploma
Programme in French (Full-Time). The students of the other Departments of the University are

of the Certificate Programme, followed by Diploma & Advanced Diploma in the subsequent
years attain adequate level of competence for furthering their academic & professional skills as
well as they can pursue higher level of language learning including post-graduation in a
particular language.
Learning Outcome
So far as the learning outcome is concerned, it is expected that the pass-outs of the Certificate
Programmes possess the introductory knowledge of the learnt language. They are trained in such
a way that they can improve their proficiency in the concerned language subsequently on their
own. Our endeavour has always been to develop interest amongst the students for the foreign
language. Main emphasis has always been on honing the communication skills in the language
being taught. A student can converse in that language & handle day-today situation without
much difficulty at the end of the Programme. Subsequent Programmes go on building on the
foundation laid in the Certificate Programme, with the expansion of the vocabulary, which, in
turn, leads to the more proficiency. An introduction to literature is also incorporated in the
syllabi at the higher levels. The pass-outs of the Advanced Diploma & Diploma (Full-time) are
competent enough to be employed in different sectors, like school teachers, in the IT, Hotel &
tourism industry, journalism and translators.
Special Features
• Beginning with the introductory level, the students are gradually led to the
advanced level of proficiency in the selected language.
• An effort is made to enhance the competence of the students to such a level that they can
pursue Post Graduation after passing the Advanced Diploma in the concerned language.
• Main emphasis is on developing the communication skills in the concerned language.

institutes like Goethe Institute & Alliance Française, which are fully supported by the
Govt. of Federal Republic of Germany & France respectively.
