Student Speak
“Most students think that studying English is a cakewalk. On the contrary, it requires extensive research and analysis. Every text and author is interlinked and it’s not a subject that you can mug up and spill in an exam. It provides a very strong base to someone who wants to research further.”
Anisha Basu, a final year student.
Teacher’s space
“The new four-year undergraduate programme introduces students to a range of vocational courses apart from the regular academic ones. This way, students are better prepared to face the job market and have a variety of job options to choose from. Also, the research work is very useful.”
Sumanyu Satpathy, head of the department, English.
