“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.” —Walt Whitman

The Department of English is amongst the earliest ones to be set up in the College. Ever since its inception, the department has continuously strived to keep itself in sync with the developments in the academic world. Post-graduation in English is virtually a stepping stone for students, who are considering careers in Electronic & Print media, Advertising, Teaching, HRD, Civil Services, Theatre, Research, Creative Writing etc. It gives them definitive edge to take on the challenges these professions throw at them.The Department was established in 1971 and the Post-Graduation course was started in 2004.
