Preamble
In higher education nowadays, outcome-based learning is the primary goal due to the exponential advancements in science and technology as well as the predominately utilitarian outlook of the culture. Literary studies in English at the UG level must be viewed from this perspective because humanities is one of the most contested academic fields. In India, English literary curriculum has consequently evolved over time. From its Anglo-centric core, it moved to new literatures, including Third World Literature, Commonwealth Literature, American, Canadian, Australian, and New Literatures in English. Later, it turned to Indian Literature in English and Indian Literature in translation in the context of various theoretical and critical discourses, including Postmodernism, Post colonialism, Feminism, and Black Aesthetics/Dalit Aesthetics, among others.
The revised syllabus of the undergraduate programme in English Language and Literature is both traditional and modern in focus. It is traditional in that the thrust is primarily on the three literary genres: prose, poetry, fiction and drama. Simultaneously, the programme is modern, as all the courses incorporate contemporary writing. Since only a synthesis of the two may produce a deeper understanding of the craft of writing, we have attempted to create a fusion of the past and present in this curriculum so that students can learn about the glory of old and the splendor of today. Furthermore, the Board of Studies has taken the institution's core values into account and include Learning for Life, Ethics, and Service to the Nation in order to ensure that students develop into responsible citizens with human values. The knowledge that should be included in the curriculum should be fundamentally sound and relevant to the student's overall experience.
The programme encourages analytical ability and critical thinking and give students the opportunity to develop the skills demanded by employers. The pedagogy used within the programme is intended to support accurate knowledge transmission and appropriate knowledge evaluation. The skills for teaching and learning of all the course modules both Core (compulsory) and Designate (elective), have been determined for the Graduate Level Courses.
