To enhance our preparation for the final exams, the Department of English conducts an annual review of internal exam papers, guided by Dilip Barad Sir, along with Prakruti Ma’am and Megha Ma’am. This review process helps students identify common mistakes, improve their writing skills, and develop a more organized approach to answering questions. By analyzing their responses, students gain a better understanding of key concepts and learn to express their thoughts more clearly.

In addition to this review, the department organizes a workshop called Essay Type Answer Analysis to further support academic development. The workshop focuses on key aspects of essay writing, such as developing arguments, maintaining logical coherence, and ensuring clarity of expression. Through in-depth discussions and feedback, students gain valuable insights into refining their writing style and enhancing their ability to present structured, analytical responses in the exams.
