Strength of Department

  • The department has a well-knit, committed and vibrant faculty, who apart from being proficient teachers are also instrumental in maintaining a strong bond and a high level of interaction with students at all levels.  The department has a history of progressive results in various examinations of our University.
    Our students learn to think creatively and deeply about some of the most important literary topics.
  • The faculty of the department has adopted varied teaching methodologies to make the classroom environment receptive and non-oppressive for its students
  • The students are encouraged to explore beyond their prescribed curriculum by exposing them to various seminars, extension talks, and lecture series etc., which are a regular feature of the department.
  • Even without initiating an overt division of classes into weak and strong students, it addresses the needs of the ‘weak’ by holding special remedial classes for them.

Achievements of the Department

  •  Faculty members are Ph.D. degree and SLET holders.
  • Pass % of the Department is  above 95%( consistently)
  • Published research papers in reputed National and International Journals
  • The language laboratory is a very helpful tool for practicing and assessing one’s speech in any language. It provides a facility which allows the student to listen to model pronunciation, repeat and record the same, listen to their performance and compare with the model, and do self-assessment.
  • Through language lab we involve students to actively participate in language learning exercises and get more practice time than otherwise would be possible in a traditional classroom environment.
  •  Teaching children who can’t read in the beginning of the year and seeing them progress to sounding out words and eventually being able to read independently has been a great source of satisfaction.
