B A English Literature

About the Course

The B.A. English Literature (Major) is designed to cultivate interpretive thinking and linguistic precision. Unlike the applied sciences, this programme explores human consciousness, culture, and creativity through the lens of English Literature (the study of imaginative works).
Following NEP-2020 guidelines, the curriculum balances Disciplinary Knowledge (History of Literature, Poetry, Drama) with Skill Enhancement (Creative Writing, Translation, Soft Skills).
