Hey,
Well,indeed.
The Delhi University is the most sought after institution for Humanities especially English Honours and the high cutoffs bear testimony to the fact. The English  Honours course is designed in a way that will teach you much more  than language. It teaches you the history of culture. It teaches you about the cannons. It broadens your horizon and make you intellectual. Thr texts will make you ponder over social issues. Well, colleges like Sri Venkateshwara College,Miranda House,Lady Shri ram College,Hindu College have got the best faculty of English Honours.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
