Hello Sekh,

Following is the list of colleges that offer courses in foreign languages -

  • Jawaharlal Nehru University Delhi
  • Banaras Hindu University Varanasi
  • Jamia Milia Islamia
  • English Foreign Language University
  • University of Mumbai
  • University of Delhi

There is no specific book that you can read for entrance preparation.

Learn about the culture, art, history, literature of the countries where these languages are spoken.

The first thing you need to decide is the languages you are trying to get into. After that, you need to prepare accordingly.

You also need to work on English. Generally, they ask article, preposition, verb.

You should be updated with the recent things as there will be a paragraph for any recent issue. for eg last year they asked to write about Demonetization.

Hope this helps.
