UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL
The Department of English was one of the few departments with which the University of North Bengal started functioning fifty years ago in 1962. Since then the Department of English has always been vibrated with teaching, research, and extramural activities. The Department has at present ten (10) teachers and two posts are likely to be filled up shortly. Most of the teachers serving now have international publications and visits to their credit. Some of them are engaged in collaborative work with universities abroad. Always innovative but earnestly student-friendly, the staff of the Department have always been trying to keep the matter of teaching and research on a par with the current international standards. A well-stocked seminar library, a computer lab, and audio-visual aids supplement the elan of the teachers to break new grounds. And the results of all these have always been satisfactory. The Department takes pride in regular output of brilliant students and researchers many of whom are well-established academics at home and abroad.
