Christ university department of English.

Placements: We don't have 100% placement for our department. Hardly 20% of the students get jobs through placement cell. Moreover it is not a big problem since the Christ tag has alot of values. The highest average package offered to students are 50k. Also, internships are an important part of our course. It is compulsory and every students have to do an internship in the month of April or May.

Infrastructure: 1. The course is amazing. It has a diverse syllabus which enhances the students to learn about not only the history of English literature but also the contemporary cultural studies. 2. The hostel is not good at all. There is no hostel food system.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and are Ph.D. holders. They are very friendly. They are liberal as well as critical in their approach in the sense that there is a constant effort to break the existing stereotypes and taboos which puts limitations for people in this society.
