third semester, students are sent to various local, national, international media houses for a three-week internship program which exposes them
to the practical challenges in the field of journalism and also helps them with full-time employment opportunities. Students gain a strong theoretical
framework while developing practical skills the areas that include photography, writing, reporting, media production, film production, documentary
making, design and web development and media research. Internships with media houses provide on-the-job training that helps students get excellent
employment opportunities. The degree program in convergent journalismprepares students to pursue their dreams in the field of journalism and mass

Department of English
3. Introduction
The Department of English is the first department established in the School of Languages (SOL), Central University of Kashmir. The Department
provides an intellectually nourishing and conducive atmosphere to the students aspiring to undertake an in-depth study of English Literature as it offers
a variety of courses covering all the major genres of English literature and the fundamentals of English language teaching. The choice-based credit system
allows the students to choose from a variety of elective courses that are offered in addition to the core courses. A comprehensive continuous internal
assessment system ensures a thorough development of the intellectual capabilities of the students.
Since its establishment in 2010 the Department has progressed significantly. In a short span of time, it has carved a niche for itself as one of the most
efficient departments in the university. The most defining feature of the department is that it has a committed, dynamic and dedicated staff. It would not
58
Prospectus
2022
be an exaggeration to say that it is because of their indefatigable efforts that the department has already burgeoned into one of the finest ones in the
university. The young and ebullient staff of the department has constantly strived to take the teaching of English to an ever higher level. In keeping
with this spirit, the teachers have tried to move beyond the traditional methods of teaching and have succeeded considerably in making the practice
of teaching more innovative, interactive and student-friendly. One of the priorities of the department has been the procurement of quality books for
the departmental library as a result of which it has grown into a repository of valuable books. The bonhomie in the department is exemplary with the
teachers having an excellent rapport with each other. This congenial atmosphere has thus far served both as an encouragement and an inspiration to the
students and enabled them to express themselves in proper intellectual terms. It has also led to a unique and unprecedented training and edification of
the students. This, in turn, has borne immediate fruit in the form of the establishment of the departmental literary club and the regular maintenance of
a wall-journal to which students from both semesters contribute on a monthly basis.
One of the stated aims of the department has been the development of literary and critical perception in the students which should ultimately enable
them to place the major literary works of the world in a proper literary perspective. Such diligent and serious study, needless to say, is ultimately expected
to transform the students into individuals that can make a difference to the society. The Department also offers a PhD research programme under which
ten scholars are currently pursuing their research in the Department while four scholars have already obtained their doctoral degrees.

Evaluation System
The objective of the examination system at CUK is to expose students to continuous evaluation rather than focus only at term End Semester Examinations.
This system ensures that the students develop the ability to study regularly and puts the onus on students to perform consistently and not study in a
sporadic manner. Also, the system encourages the use of assignments to inculcate the spirit of self-learning in the students besides developing ability
to solve practical problems. The University has been concentrating on the updating and reforming the mechanisms of assessment, examinations and
evaluation by taking the SWOC analysis in ESE workshops. We try to take pragmatic steps to evaluate the mechanisms of EEW by the taking the
following in view:
During the course of a semester, which is generally of 90 working days, a student is evaluated in the following manner:
