Ritika Maheshwari, manager of a Japanese language centre, said Japanese-language coaching institutes in Indira Nagar, Vikas Bhawan Road, Chandganj Garden Road and Aliganj recorded 426 registrations during 2025-26. Enrolment increased from 202 in 2025 to 224 in 2026, a rise of 10.9%. Around 170 of the 224 students enrolled in 2026 are school students. Before 2024, enrolment had not crossed 50.
Because of its courses in culinary arts and fashion, as well as the career prospects it offers, class XI student Raghav Mishra said he wants to explore higher education opportunities in France. “I have started learning German early so that I am prepared when the time comes to choose a course and a country for higher studies.
She said the country’s strong engineering and manufacturing programmes, along with relatively low tuition fees at many public universities, attracted her. Starting early will give me more time to prepare,” said Class VIII student Ananya Kapoor. Class XII student Ashmita Sinha is preparing to pursue automobile engineering in Japan and has been learning Japanese alongside her school studies. Reports of anti-immigrant protests and concerns about the safety of international students in the US and UK have also prompted him to consider studying in France. Class X student Aditi Verma has started learning German and plans to explore engineering courses in Germany. I want to understand the opportunities available in Germany and Europe, compare tuition fees and living expenses, and explore career prospects before making a decision.
