BS English
Introduction
The Department offers a relatively new field of studies i.e., Linguistics, along with the traditional and long-studied subject of Literature. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the development of English language skills and on producing professional and competent language teachers who are equally conversant with English Literature.
Career Prospects
English has been functioning as a Lingua Franca for decades and is expected to continue in this role globally. Graduates in this field have wide-ranging career opportunities in teaching, civil services, academia, research, and higher studies. Linguistics and English Language Teaching are growing in significance. The department addresses these needs with a comprehensive and modern curriculum at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Our M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs blend theory, application, and research in linguistics, and we take pride in providing top-tier, up-to-date education in the country.
