I. About the Department
The Department of Modern Indian Languages and Literary Studies (MIL&LS), University of Delhi, was established in 1961. A unique feature that identifies the department as the first and only one of its kinds in the Indian University system is its institutional and methodological structure that enables a dialogue among Indian Literatures, Languages and Cultures. The Department is engaged in teaching and research in 11 Indian Languages and Literatures. The language programmes offered at different levels are Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Odia, Sindhi, Tamil and Telugu. Besides, post-graduate programmes are offered in Bengali, Tamil and Comparative Indian Literature. Three thrust areas under which the department is carrying out in-depth research are - Comparative Indian Literature, Translation among Indian Languages, and Folklore and Tribal Lore of India. The Department started offering M.A. Bengali in 1963, as the first M.A. program of the Department. The Department celebrated the Golden Jubilee the Bengali Program in 2014 through organizing international conferences and cultural programs. The Bengali section of the department has been enriched by Prof. Rabindra Kumar Dasgupta, who conceptualized the idea of Comparative Indian Literature and later became the Director of the National Library; Prof. Sisir Kumar Das, celebrated author of the History of Indian Literature; Prof. Nilratan Sen, who contributed in the study of the Charyapada manuscript and Bengali prosody; Prof. Bishnupada Bhattacharya, whose proficiency in more than ten Indian languages and expertise in Bhakti literature were exceptional; Prof. Tapodhir Bhattacharjee, renowned expert of Literary Theory. The M A. in Bengali revised syllabus under Choice Based Credit System has been prepared by the experts of Bengali Literature working in the department. In the process of making of the syllabus the views of former and current students, research scholars, and teachers of undergraduate programmes, as stake-holders, have been taken into consideration. Stake-holders have appreciated the comprehensiveness and inclusion of emerging areas in the syllabus. There have been specific suggestions from stake-holders, most of which have been incorporated in the syllabus. Experts from India and Bangladesh have also reviewed the syllabus and appreciated it.
II. Introduction to CBCS (Choice Based Credit System)
Choice Based Credit System:
The CBCS provides an opportunity for the students to choose courses from the prescribed courses comprising core, elective/minor or skill-based courses. The courses can be evaluated following the grading system, which is considered to be better than the conventional marks system. Grading system provides uniformity in the evaluation and computation of the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) based on studentâs performance in examinations whichenables the student to move across institutions of higher learning. The uniformity in evaluation system also enables the potential employers in assessing the performance of the candidates.
