Centre for Excellence in Languages
The Centre for Excellence in Languages of Kristu Jayanti (Deemed to be University) offers a comprehensive selection of Beginner and advanced-level courses in widely spoken global languages such as French, Spanish, German, Japanese, and Korean, along with regional languages like Hindi and Kannada.
