DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

English Literature course was started in June 1969. Later, to keep in line with the latest trends, Vocational Stream in English Literature was introduced in our college in 1997-1998, with a U.G.C. financial assistance, keeping communication English as the core subject having the objective of imparting better communication skills to students to enable them to secure them suitable jobs. The Vocational Stream was changed to Regular Literature stream in the year 2012-13. In addition to it, the Department was upgraded to the research department in the same year. As a result, students were admitted to the M.Phil course from 2012. M.A English was started in the year 2013.
