Course Curriculum Overview
The Department of English began operations in July 2017 and now enrols 226 students throughout its undergraduate and graduate programmes. Six full-time faculty members, two guest professors, and one visiting lecturer make up the department. The Department began offering PhD courses in July 2019 and currently has nine research scholars working on projects. The department's teaching strategies strike a delicate balance between more conventional modes of instruction using textual exegesis and the use of digital media, including PowerPoint presentations, audio-visual formats, experimental exercises as part of educational processes, and interactive sessions. The professors have also recorded their lectures. There have been a number of invited academic lectures given, followed by student exchanges that have greatly benefited the department's overall academic atmosphere.
