The syllabus includes literature and language awareness. Language awareness is knowledge of grammar. Try to study a good grammar book such as Practical English Usage by Michael Swan, 4th edition, OUP. Literature awareness includes knowledge of Literary works and literary terminology.

Visva Bharati is one of the top universities in India. The classes are really very regular. The teachers are very frank and helpful. Even if you ask for help outside the scheduled class they will not resist. There are no placements offered for this course or any other course by the university.
