following up with my previous question, i might just do masters in english after completing my ballb course but how do i prepare myself for it considering i have no undergraduate experience in english hons

Hello, Yes, this is absolutely possible. Your BA LLB degree makes you eligible to apply for MA in English at almost all top universities. Admission will not be based on your undergraduate subjects but on your performance in the M.A. English entrance exam (like the CUET-PG). Your main challenge is the knowledge gap, as you'll be competing with English (Hons.) students.

Your preparation must focus on covering the entire 3-year B.A. (Hons) English syllabus. Start with a foundational book on the History of English Literature (like A History of English Literature by B.R. Mullick) to understand the literary periods (from Chaucer to Modernism). You must also read the primary texts of major authors (e.g., Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Jane Austen, T.S. Eliot) and key Indian English writers.

A major part of the exam, which will be new to you, is Literary Criticism and Theory. Your law background in jurisprudence and interpreting texts will be a significant advantage here. Buy a dedicated M.A. English entrance guide and solve as many previous years' question papers as possible to master the pattern.
