 Strength: English Department of Jawahar Arts, Science & Commerce College can take pride in having some of the most enthusiastic and dedicated teachers of the college. Departmental Seminars are being held regularly to improve the overall performance of the students and lead them towards research motivation. But in addition to the formal methods, the greatest strength of the department has been the teacher-student intimate relationship that has kept the department alive.

Weakness: The socio-cultural background of the students, many of whom are first generation learners from poor and backward families, is a major drawback for the development of the department. Lack of Departmental Library, Student’s unwillingness to opt English Literature.

  Opportunities:   However, the learners are always made aware of the wide scope for their future. Efforts are on to enhance the quality of the students by giving them opportunities of interaction with the senior faculty members of other cognate institutions by means of special coaching classes. If more job-oriented coaching classes could be organized for the students of the department exclusively, it would give them good result. Add-on courses like Spoken and Communicative English Courses can bring new opportunities for the students of this department. To start a certificate course in communicative & functional English and introduce to Multidisciplinary Education system in New Education Policy.

   Challenges: 

The placement of the output in different government and non-government sectors and

self-employment is one of the main challenges before the department. When the opportunity of getting absorbed in the traditional sectors is narrowing day by day, unveiling new sectors of employment is an urgent necessity of the time. M Develop comprehensive written and spoken communication skill Introduce the students about the careers in media. Inculcate interest in English language & literature among the students and making the students of the department of English aware about such evolving areas is another challenge before the department.
