Project Description

English plays an important role in binding all the streams of the institute. It is the language that opens the gateway of employability, opportunity and vision for the youth. The department of English started functioning from the date of the establishment of the college i.e. 1963. In conformity with the vision and mission of the college and the need of the present society, English has molded itself with positive aspirations to cope-up with the latest trend prevalent in the national and international level. The department prioritizes development of communicative skill of the students. The students are encouraged for competence in communication skills. The result of English Honours here is comparatively better than other Colleges. The success percentage of students is around 85%.The department is proud to have very competent, efficient and committed teachers for teaching, curriculum designing and extra -curricular activities. The members counsel the students to find placement in different fields after passing out. It will not be out of place to mention that thousands of students have passed out from the college successfully and have established themselves in different fields across the country. In addition to counseling for placement, right kind of information is also imparted for self-employment and above all to be good citizens to meet the challenges in different walks of life.

English is the medium of instruction in all the streams of Arts, Science and Commerce. The Government is pleased to increase the Honours seats from 16 (Sixteen) to 32 (Thirty two) in the academic session of 2015-16. In spite of being an Autonomous college the Department follows the State Model Syllabus. The Department conducts 14 (fourteen) core papers for the Honours students at the Degree level. Semester system is being followed each year. Apart from the core subjects an additional Course under Elective DSE (Discipline Specific) is taken up.

Continuing with the proud tradition of the college, senior students and newcomers of the college mingle with each other at the Fresher’s party which is organized every year. Jovial smiles and high spirits mark the welcome party for the students. With pulsating ambience, flashing lights and foot tapping music, it is a fun filled event where the fresher’s have an opportunity not only to showcase their talents and but also to interact with the seniors. The department also organizes Farewell functions for the final year students and the faculty members on their superannuation.

Every year a study tour is conducted to enhance learning in an informal environment, while building long-lasting relationships with students and teachers. It also helps them to grow professionally. The study tours focuses on history, heritage, business, nature etc.

The UGC sponsored Extension Programme

The Department extends its service to the community by imparting basic Communicative skills in the grass-root level.
