Rajkot is the commercial heart of Saurashtra, and its economy has grown well beyond the regional market — which is exactly why spoken English now decides who moves up. The city is one of India's biggest engineering and investment-casting hubs, with dense clusters of brass-parts, auto-component and machine-tool units across the Aji and Lodhika (Metoda) GIDC estates, and much of that output is exported to buyers in the US, Europe and the Gulf. Those export desks, B2B negotiations and trade-show conversations all run on clear spoken English. Alongside manufacturing, Rajkot has built a real IT/ITeS and BPO layer — firms like Etech Global Services run customer-support and back-office floors where candidates are screened, first of all, on how well they can hold a live conversation in English. For a graduate from a Gujarati- or Hindi-medium school, the grammar is usually already there; what is missing is the confidence to speak without translating in your head first.
EEC has been part of Gujarat's education story since July 15, 1997, and although we do not run a physical branch in Rajkot, our Spoken English course reaches Rajkot students fully through the Online Live batch on Zoom — taught by the same EEC faculty, with the same curriculum and the same live speaking practice as our classroom centres. The course uses the original Cambridge Interchange Level 1 book — the communicative-English curriculum trusted by learners worldwide — across three months of 2-hour classes, Monday to Saturday. Each session pairs an Interchange lesson and real speaking practice with a second hour of basic grammar explained in Hindi and Gujarati, so a beginner is never left behind. The fee is ₹7,500, and your original Cambridge book is delivered free to your door anywhere in Rajkot.
The goal is not a certificate on the wall — though you do receive an EEC completion certificate — it is the ability to think and speak directly in English. For students at Saurashtra University, Marwadi University, RK University or Atmiya University facing campus placements and group discussions, for export and trade professionals dealing with overseas buyers, and for anyone preparing for a bank or government-job interview or a face-to-face visa interview, the course replaces script-memorising with genuine, unscripted fluency. And because Spoken English is the foundation EEC builds before IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL, the confidence you gain here carries forward into whatever comes next.
