Department of English

About the Department

The Department of English had a petite yet vivid start in 2003 by offering a General English course to the Department of B.Sc. Biotechnology. Now the Department has enhanced and burgeoned, extending its support to twenty-one other Disciplines. In October 2018, the P.G. and Research Department of English was established.

The diverse faculty members of the Department consistently enrich themselves through other academic activities such as conducting seminars, symposiums, conferences, workshops, presenting papers, and publishing articles. The Board of Studies meeting will be conducted once in three years. The Department invites highly qualified and experienced academicians to revise the syllabus to enhance students’ knowledge of the contemporary view of society. The current syllabus is set to cater to the students of all the boards. The syllabus is equally balanced with Literature and Language.

In 2007, the Department organized a state-level workshop on “Grooming Graduates for the Job Market.” In 2008, a workshop on “Poetry Writing; a state-level seminar on Attitude Skill and Knowledge-The Art of Leadership” was conducted. A state-level seminar on Lingua Franca in 2009 and a National Level Conference on Linguistic Imperialism in 2011 were completed. An Invited talk on “The History of English Literature and Overview” and a ” Ventriloquism ” workshop were held in 2020. In 2021, a seminar on “Research Methodology” was conducted, and in 2022, a one-day workshop on Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy was successfully conducted by the Department.

The Department extends its inimitable service through its interdisciplinary and creative program. To enhance and hone the students’ creative instinct, the Department often invites distinguished authors who offer intensive workshops each term in fiction, poetry, nonfiction, screenwriting, playwriting, and television writing.

The Department’s Research program provides an immersion experience in which students engage in substantive humanities and arts-based research designed exclusively for the need of the hour of this era.
