The Department of English was established in 1986 with the college’s inception. Communication is an important and basic aspect of higher education in general and commerce in particular.
The Department offers compulsory courses at the first-year level, especially in communication. These courses aim to develop students’ four skills of communication, namely, speaking, listening, writing, and reading in English. The faculty, apart from teaching these two courses, also conducts various activities such as interactive sessions on soft skills, interview techniques; resume writing, etc.
A UGC-sponsored state-level seminar on Approaches to Teaching Speaking Skills in English in ESL Classrooms was organized by the department on 8th January 2011. During the pandemic, a certificate course in Communication Skills in English was conducted by the department.
