The Honours Course in Khasi was introduced in year 2000. With the introduction of the Course, a large number of students in jaintia Hills, espiacially from Border  areas and other remote section of Jaintia Hills, sought admission into the Honours course at the Degree level in the College. Within a short span of four or five years the Department began achieving good results and also produced NEHU toppers in 2009 and 2014.


The Study of Khasi Literature offers a vast amount of scope for exploration in various fields and this is why a large number of scholars and a great deal of research is needed for the development of Khasi Literature.
