VISION

To mould the young minds into worthy citizens of the country enabling them to contribute their best to the society by maximizing their potential in communication related avenues.

MISSION

To serve the economically and socially backward children of our country and help them communicate fluently in English and instil confidence into them to take up lucrative positions so as to help them reach greater heights in their respective community.

Overview

The Department is very proud to offer BA English from July 2013 onwards. This is a unique programme and is diametrically opposite to the other Universities in curriculum-framing; the BA programme is a job-oriented one. The curriculum has ample space for Advertisement, Journalism, Mass Communication, Pronunciation, Spoken English, Environmental Science, Human Rights and Human Values, Film Appreciation Programme, Translation Theory and Practice, besides a good number of conventional literature papers. A lot of effort is taken to help the BA English students to write well and speak well so that they are employment-eligible in industries like Print Media, Electronic Media and Call Centers. The ultra-modern Language lab with 60 student booths helps the students to fine-tune their presentations with the aid of communication software.

Academic

The Department offers two papers in the first year for every B Tech programme. The two papers are: English for Technical Communication Paper I and English for Technical Communication Paper II. Paper I is offered in the First Semester and Paper II is offered in the Second Semester. Care has been taken to prepare the syllabuses for these two papers with the need of the time and the need of the industry in mind. A lot of technical communication input is given in the syllabus so that the Engineering students gain sufficient communication proficiency so as to help them to learn their other papers without difficulty and at the same time equip themselves fully for the employment that they take up at the end of their programme.

The two papers that the Department offers is just a tip of the ice-berg. The Department assists the University in diverse ways. These include offering Special Training Programme in the Third Year and Fourth Year to the B Tech programme students. Communication Skills and Soft Skills are the major components in these skill set programmes. The Department also offers Fine-tuning presentations to the MBA students and thus hones their communication competencies.

Another service that the Faculty of English offers is Thesis Correction and Research Paper Correction. Theses and research papers of fellow faculty members pass through the hands of the English faculty so that the language errors are eliminated and the research outputs of the campus scholars get submission-worthy.
