English Proficiency Cell, IIT Kanpur

English Proficiency Cell (EP Cell) is rich in resources because it inherited the entire cache of assets developed under the banner of the erstwhile English Proficiency Programme (EPP) initiated informally in the summer of 2013 and launched formally in early 2014.

One hallmark of the current EP "Cell" era compared to the earlier EPP time is the rapid automation of its operations and services. This will be useful, indeed necessary, in handling large numbers of clientele that are now expected.
