IIT Guwahati students to soon study Mandarin language

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G) has partnered with the education division of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre in India (TECC) to enhance cultural and educational exchange. An MoU has been signed to strengthen bilateral relations between India and Taiwan through education and language and cultural learning.

Under this collaboration, TECC will assist IIT Guwahati in recruiting Mandarin teachers who are experts in designing curricula and evaluating foreign language courses. These teachers will conduct Mandarin language courses over the required semesters, helping to broaden students’ linguistic skills and cultural understanding, specifically those interested in pursuing internships and careers in Taiwan semiconductor and agritech industries.

In return, IIT Guwahati will provide the necessary infrastructure to establish the Taiwan Education Centre on campus, where classes, seminars, and bilateral exchange programmes will be conducted.
