Hello Arav,

Speaking about BHU and JNU, the departments are well developed and offer average placements. For seeing the placement records of both the institutes you may please visit the below link:

https://www.jnu.ac.in/placementcell/

http://www.bhu.ac.in/law/content/PLACEMENT_BROCHURE.pdf

Both of these universities are highly developed in this field.

Speaking for BHU there are dedicated faculties for particular courses and even companies like Amazon visit the campus some times for placements. Also there is a positive environment. Apart from German and french, languages such as Chinese, Russian are also taugh here.

Speaking of JNU, here to big companies such as IBM, Google, Amazon come ocassionaly to hire people. The environment is not better than BHU, but not too bad for learning.

Now coming to other institutes such as Geothe, or Alliance, these institutes are only focussed on one particular language, and have very limitted scope. If you want to master the language and have all your 2 years dedicated to one particular language, you may opt for these institutes. There are comparitively less career opportunities here, since these are private institutes for teaching language. However the quality of education that you will recieve in these will be better than those in JNU/BHU.

Apart from this, language learning has its own advantages. Once you learn a language, there are ample opportunities waiting for you.

Hope this Helps

Regards.
