From the date of establishment  till the year 2004, the Department was able to serve only those student at the Higher Secondary level and others opting for the General (Pass) Course at the Degree level . With the Commencement of 2005, the Honours Course was introduced to the delight and relief of many students. The Department was hugely encouraged during this initial period by the positive response from the student opting for the Honours Course.
Besides teaching student textbooks and classics of English Literature prescribed in the syllabus, the faculty member also make a conscious and concerted effort to equip student with the basic skills and fundamentals of communication.


PROSPECTS:
On Completion of their Degree Course from the College, many of our student have gone on to finish their Master's Degree from the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU). Many of them have since joined the teaching profession at both the college and school levels. The Subject prepares students for a career in civil service, administration, management, tourism, advertising and journalism, etc. Because literature deals with life and focuses on a range of human emotions, our student are ideal for employment opportunities which require creativity and self expression.
