Department of English

The English Department takes pride in having evolved excellent standards for the teaching and learning of literature and language. Over the years, this department has gathered a vibrant faculty with expertise in diverse areas such as English literary studies, Indian and other postcolonial writing, popular and classical literature as also in language teaching and translation. There is as much stress on creating a critical sensibility in the students as motivating their creative potential through participative teaching, seminars and organization of lectures and readings by eminent scholars and writers. The Department runs an active English Literary Society. The literary journal showcases the writing skills and talent of the students. Each year, at the outset, the first year students of B.A. Hons course are given a series of orientation lectures to familarize them with various critical approaches to the study of literature.
