For learners of the Japanese language, every year, the Japanese language proficiency test (JLPT) is conducted twice a year in July and December. The levels range from n5-n1. N5 being the most basic, and n1 being the most advanced. To gain proficiency in the Japanese language, you can learn Japanese from these places in Delhi. The Japan Foundation: affiliated with the Japanese embassy in India, the Japan Foundation is a library and a centre where you can start learning Japanese. You can get books, manga, CDs as well. It is located near the Moolchand metro station. A 2-minute walk from there. Delhi University (part-time): if you are looking for a certificate or diploma degree, then you can learn it as a part-time course from Delhi University. Forms for this would be out when Du announces the cut-off. You need to have cleared your 12th class. Delhi University (full-time): that is if you have already graduated, you can enrol in a full-time course at DU. Department of east Asian studies. It's a two-year course. An intensive PG Diploma will be equivalent to graduation and you can do a Masters afterwards. Jawaharlal Nehru University: if you want to do your graduation, JNU is also considered one of the best places to learn the Japanese language. However, entrance exams are most probably over for this year. Coaching institutes: institutes like Mosai, Nihongo Centre, Nihonkai, and Aots are where you can learn the language. Personally, though, it's good to learn from a university (be it DU or JNU) but coaching institutes also do have some merit. Coaching institutes are more JLPT focused whereas DU/JNU are more into academics. You can see your priorities and enrol in any of the above. Hope, it helped. All the best.
