The idea of creating an M.A. course in English was conceived after due deliberation on the strengths and achievements of the department, its exemplary track record and the quality of students it produces. The Department of English has achieved a recognized level of excellence and the repeated and insistent requests from our students and the general public to start an M.A. in English are a positive indicator that the course will attract many students. In addition, the Department has a dedicated faculty whose commitment to teaching and research, academic qualifications and achievements, the experience of post-graduate teaching and training students in fundaments of research, and enthusiasm about starting a post-graduate course constitute a strong asset. The Department has already ideated a post-graduate syllabus, a draft of which was shared with St. Xavier's University where it is currently being taught, and has begun to update and modernize that syllabus keeping in mind the nature and slant of contemporary English studies and the specializations that will empower students in their study of the subject.
