Established in 1990, the Department of
English has been endeavoring to provide the students a firm
grounding in English studies in a very congenial atmosphere of
teaching and learning. The students aspiring to obtain a post
graduate degree in Literature in English get introduced to all
the important aspects of literatures written in English. We
are also aware of the growing importance of the M.Phil.
programme as a pre-doctoral preparatory course. Accordingly,
the syllabus incorporates the latest aspects of literary
studies and research so as to prepare the students well for
research and teaching. A stimulating ambience in the
Department, regular seminars, assignments and special invited
lectures on specific portions of syllabus enhance the purpose
of imparting quality education. In addition, text reading
sessions, group discussion and literary and extra-curricular
activities are regularly organized. All this is well supported
with a well-stacked departmental library, access to journals,
and free access to internet available in the department.
The
Department has had a visiting professor through collaboration
with United States Education Foundation in India, through '
Fulbright Scheme' and seeks to have further involvement in
collaborations for exchange and visit of scholars to and from
different colleges of America for teaching, counseling and
training.
The
Department also arranges for teaching of English and
communication skills to students of various other departments
and also for English teaching in special classes for SC/ST
students. Our placement record is excellent, with most of our
former students teaching in prestigious schools and colleges
in various parts of the country. In addition, many of our
students are in good positions in police, media, animation,
and other diverse fields.
The
Department is also a recognized research center with all
facilities in English.
