Division of Language, Culture and Society
Nurturing Students with integrity, humanity and empathy
The Division of Language, Culture and Society (LCS) under the School of Languages is dedicated to exploring the interconnections between language, literature, communication, and culture in a globalized and technologically evolving world. The division offers courses in multiple languages such as English, German, Japanese and French, which are integral components of the engineering curriculum. These linguistic disciplines empower students with the communicative competence necessary for industry readiness, professional articulation, and effective self-expression.
Aligned with the institution’s vision of holistic education, the division integrates language learning with cultural literacy and humanistic inquiry, complementing the university’s strong foundation in science and technology. The pedagogical objective of the School of Languages is to foster linguistic mastery and intercultural awareness among students, skills that are essential for academic excellence, international collaboration, and successful career placements.
The Division of English actively promotes literary and cultural engagement through its literary forum, the John Milton English Club. The club offers a vibrant platform for students to explore diverse literary genres, participate in creative and critical discussions, and develop their analytical and communication skills.
Through its academic programs, scholarly events, and cultural initiatives, the Division of Language, Culture and Society continues to nurture globally competent graduates who are equipped with strong linguistic abilities, cultural awareness, and the communicative skills necessary to thrive in contemporary professional environments.

Dr. C. Shanmuga Priya
Associate Professor of English and Head,
Department of Language, Culture and Society.
Language is the archive of culture, the engine of critical thought, and the foundation of humane inquiry. The Department of Language, Culture and Society facilitates the study of English, French, German and Japanese through interdisciplinary approaches. It connects language learning to broader questions of culture, identity, and global society and enables marquee job opportunities for the students. The faculty members are committed to nurturing students towards the acquisition of communication skills, which is the dire demand in the workplace. We continue to drive excellence through an evolving curriculum, dedicated faculty, and a vibrant intellectual community. At the department, prospective students can explore a discipline that sharpens analytical skills, cultivates empathy, and prepares them for diverse careers in academia, publishing, media, civil service, and emerging knowledge economies.
The study of literature and language enables a student to read closely, think independently, and write with precision. Anybody who values these skills will find a home here.
We look forward to welcoming you to an abode of language enrichment.
