  • A degree from a UGC-recognised state private university, valid for employment and for further study.
  • Small campus, direct access to faculty, and daily classroom support at Namchi, Sikkim.

What you will be able to do

  • Write and edit accurately for different audiences in the context of English.
  • Translate between languages with correct sense in the context of English.
  • Analyse literary and cultural texts in the context of English.
  • Speak and present with confidence in the context of English.
  • Complete a English project or internship and present it to faculty.
Learning environment

A quiet Himalayan campus with residential facilities, sport and student activities — useful for a programme like BA in English that needs consistent daily study.

Career preparation

Resume writing, communication and interview practice are part of the programme, aimed at the roles BA in English graduates actually apply for.

UGC-recognised university

MIT University Sikkim is a state private university established by the Government of Sikkim under Sikkim Act No. 11 of 2024. BA in English is taught as a regular university programme.
