Master’s programme in English is oriented towards research and hence the emphasis is on guiding the students to frontier areas. The multi-pronged approach adopted in the syllabus gives equal importance to a sound knowledge of the basic texts and an initiation into contemporary discourses.
The first two semesters provide the students with a period-based overview of English literature, the third semester makes a genre/domain-oriented approach. This includes areas such as cultural studies, gender studies and fiction studies. In the fourth semester, the students are offered a basket of choices from which each one can choose four papers according to his/her taste and predilection.
While retaining the general structure of the University syllabus, the Board of Studies of the college has introduced radical changes in the curriculum. An important thrust area is elective courses in semester four, wherein the students are offered a basket of nine courses from which each student can pick freely according to his/her interest. The syllabus provides the students with adequate space
for honing their creative and critical thinking skills. Likewise, every question paper will contain a mandatory section in Part C for application-oriented answers.
