Message from the Chairman
Welcome to the Department of English
The Department of English at Jagannath University is one of the leading centres of education in the country, providing its students with an excellent opportunity to study English Language and Literature. The Department has had a proud heritage of running BA (Hon's) and Master of Arts in English since 1910. However, it gained a more prestigious status when the then Jagannath College was turned into a public university under the Jagannath University Act 2005. The Department always tries to maintain a world-class standard in its academic activities to equip its graduates with such knowledge and skills as are needed to meet the needs of the globalized world. With this end in view, the Department develops its educational curricula continuously incorporating multidisciplinary courses along with the core courses of literatures in English. The MA programme has two specialized streams: ELT and Applied Linguistics, and Literature and Cultural Studies. The Department also runs a Professional Master of Arts programme in English with two streams: Applied Linguistics and ELT, and Literature and Cultural Studies. Apart from taught programmes, the Department has also MPhil and PhD programmes.
Every semester the Department organizes co-curricular and extra-curricular activities for its students, including debate completions, cultural competitions, sports competitions, etc. In every second semester, the Department observes a ‘cultural week’ involving its students in different types of cultural activities such as acting, dancing, singing, etc.
To promote and encourage students’ academic excellence, the Department has introduced rewards for the meritorious students. Students securing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd position having CGPA over 3.60 out of 4,00 in the BA (Hon’s) and MA final examinations are awarded ‘Chairman’s Award’.
The Department has an enriched seminar library having a stock of around two thousand books on Language, Literature, Philosophy, History, Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, Media Studies, Film Studies, etc.
At present, the Department has twenty-two faculty members: two professors, nine associate professors, nine assistant professors, and two lectures, and around seven hundred students in both regular and professional programmes.
