About


The Foreign Language Programme (FLP) was established in the early years of IIT Kanpur and acquired a more formal structure during the 1970s. For more than 50 years now, our wide variety of language courses have been helping students widen their intellectual horizons and get better integrated within an international working environment. The programme is coordinated by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences and is administered through the office of Centre for Continuing Education of IIT Kanpur.
