About the Department

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

The Department of English has been one of the foremost and prolific departments at Dyal Singh College since its inception. Initially, the department started with less than 10 teachers. As of now, the department has 19 full time teachers comprising 1 Professor, 7 Associate Professors, 10 Assistant Professors and 1 Assistant Professor (Ad-hoc). Along with the existing faculties, in every academic session, the department also has to appoint a few Guest faculties to cater to a sanctioned strength of 77 students in two sections of BA (Hons) English. Every year, the number of students taking admission in English Hons goes up to 90.

The department has always believed in offering an array of courses to students taking admission in the course. The rubric of the curriculum primarily ranges from canonical texts to new literary theories. At times, textual discussions are well supported by movie screenings. As a department, our primary duties have been to foster literary excellence amongst students, inculcate language proficiency and contribute to new literary awareness and theories. The department has always aimed at providing critical insights to literary texts as well as help in understanding the relevance of any paper in the context of contemporaneity.
