Course Curriculum Overview
I'm very much interested in literature and I love to read that's why I choose this course. Person who is curious to learn about literature will definitely love the eng hons course. This course helps you to develop the critical thinking which are very useful to interpret ideas and analyze situation logistically. It also helps you to develop the communication skills which are very useful in every career. You build confidence and enhace your public speaking skills by regular presentation and discussions. The curriculum is highly theory based so it will be better to add more modules like creative writing workshop, content writing and digital communication would make it more career-oriented.Student often struggle to connect literature with career oriented jobs. The course could include internships and project work. The level of english paper are generally moderate as you need to critically analyse the text you read in your syllabus. You can score very well if you have the knowledge of critics and the text.

Fees of daulat ram college depends on the course one is pursuing. Usually, the fees of B.A.(Hons.) English is 32,000/year.
