Jamia to offer certificate course in Korean language

Jamia Millia Islamia will offer a certificate course in Korean language course from the next academic year.
South Korean Ambassador Cho Hyun made the announcement while delivering a lecture on "Synergy between India and South Korea: Opportunities for Indian students" at the university today.
"A certificate course under the CBCS (Choice-Based Credit System) programme will be offered that will help students in getting jobs in South Korean companies operating in India," Jamia said in an official statement.
The Ambassador said that the Korean language course will prove advantageous to Jamia students and help them in getting jobs in approximately 500 South Korean companies based in India.

He cited the example of Samsung which employs nearly 8,000 Indians, out of which nearly 1,000 are based in South Korea.
Vice Chancellor, Talat Ahmad said that the move will not only enhance job opportunities for the university students but also go a long way in cementing India-South Korea ties.
