The students earn a majority of their credits from the core courses, and they have freedom to choose from a variety of elective courses to fulfil their credit requirement for each semester. The core courses include subjects like Indian Writing in English, New Literatures, Introduction to Literary Criticism, Shakespeare Studies, History of English Literature, Indian Aesthetics, etc. the elective courses deal with an array of specific areas like English for Media Communication, Creative Writing, Technical Writing, ELT, Translation Studies, Canadian Literature, Travel Writing, European Fiction, Comparative Literature, Indian Women Novelists, etc.
In their final semester, students are required to do a project of their choice, choosing a subject of interest and learning the fundamentals of performing academic research. Finally, they turn in a project report and publish a paper based on their investigation. The program’s goal is to increase students’ capacity for analysis, research thinking, and investigation, transforming them into engaged readers and writers who appreciate literature and society and are capable of speaking clearly in both academic and professional settings.
