The department of Urdu was started in the month of June, 2019. Before 2019, there was no specific arrangement for Post Graduate in Urdu. For this reason the students interested in studying Urdu as a P.G subject were not able to fulfill their desire.

The syllabus of M.A Urdu which contains classic and modern Urdu literature is according to CBCS. For the very first time “Urdu Computer” and “Mass Media and Translation” have also been introduced in the syllabus for the benefit of the students educationally and technically in their studies. Apart from that the legends of Urdu poetry like Mir Taqi Mir, Mirza Ghalib and Allama Iqbal have also been included as a “Special Paper” in the syllabus. It also partly covers the chapters included in central and state level competitive exams.

The class of M.A Urdu has already started and the courses of M.Phil and Ph.D. in Urdu will start very soon. At present there are two teachers in the department who are taking classes.
