The English language is a work in progress. Have fun with it.

The Department of English Language and Literature has been a trend setting department since its inception in 1959. The department has been striving relentlessly to improve not just the communication skills of the students, but also to make them proficient with all aspects of Personality Development that would facilitate a successful career and professional life.Literature is offered as a part of the BA Programmes – with History, Psychology, Mass Communication, Social Management and Political Science.

The department has been instrumental in providing the students with multiple opportunities to showcase their talents and skills in literary, cultural and theatrical domains, apart from excelling in Academics. The department ensures an ambience that facilitates the students to face the challenges of the contemporary job market and the world of competitive exams, with confidence and competence.La Fiesta, the club of the department organises regular events, Inter/ Intra collegiate competitions, workshops providing the much needed exposure to the students, essential for a healthy and competent outlook. The faculty members work, not only as a team, but also in their individual capacity to upgrade and develop the department, fully conscious of the growing demands of the contemporary Academia.

Language is not a genetic gift, it is a social gift. Learning a new language is becoming a member of a club – of the community of speakers of that language.
