The Department of Humanities was established with the inception of the Institution in 1998. A humble beginning with just two people teaching English and one Faculty each for Economics and Financial Management comprised the Department of Humanities.
The Department has grown since and also bifurcated because of the numbers. Today, the Department of English consists of five strong faculty members and we have diversified beyond routine teaching to make inroads into areas such as publishing, special classes with English language improvement, co-curricular activities and an indigenously developed Language Learning Tool.
A highly qualified and committed group of people constitutes the Department, working to lend that much-necessary support to an Engineering College, because we view our role in terms of being confidence-builders, opinion-makers, helping build BROAD-BASED PROFESSIONALS, who are an unbeatable combination of ethical professionals and Technocrats
Knowing English is synonymous with Empowerment. In the context of a steadily escalating demand for excellence, the English language has come to play a mandatory role in fostering success.
In the light of this statement, the Department of English envisages its role as that of a confidence builder, empowering students in the area of Communication Skills.
The technique we would like to evolve may be slightly unconventional. Besides Book learning, we encourage the use of alternative teaching methods like - Learning Language through Literature.
We firmly believe this would greatly sensitize learners to Reading, Listening and with some luck, even Writing. Successful Professionals are viewed as people who are eminently employable.
But if we have to compete with the best minds, if we have to create professionals who are a harmonious blend of both the employable commodity and the sensitive individual, a paradigm shift will have to be facilitated for our future professionals to stay in the race and emerge winners. For us,
ENGINEERING EDUCATION IS AS MUCH A SOCIAL PROCESS AS IT IS A TECHNICAL PROCESS.

The Department of English wishes to work resonate with a sequence of notes or chords comprising close to a musical phrase. Considering the same, the Department has started the Newsletter with the same name. The periodicity of our Department Newsletter, CADENCE, is one every semester. The contents will be fleshed out from the events and happenings of the semester gone by..
In addition to the chalk and board method of teaching the faculty adopt various methods of teaching such as flipped classroom, on site teaching, case study demonstration, seminar assignments, National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) video class room, demonstration through working models and flip grid assignment.
