1. M.A.

The M.A. programme consists of 4 semesters. Students have to take 4 courses per semester, over a minimum period of 2 years. The courses taught in the Department of English, University of Pune are different from courses taught in other post-graduate centers of the University of Pune. Each course involves 2 internal tests, and one semester-end examination. Students' performance is graded in number of marks, and in a grade-scale. The final result sheets and certificates reflect both marks, and grades. The new syllabus is available here in MSWord format.

Classes are normally held between 9 a.m. to 5 a.m.
