Later in 1998, the Honours course was introduced. Over the years, numerous students passed out with glorious results.

The Bengali Department is a hub for the study and appreciation of Bengali language, literature, and culture. It focuses on the rich history of Bengali literature, from its classical roots to contemporary works. Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of texts, including poetry, prose, drama, and historical literature. The department plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the linguistic and cultural heritage of Bengal.

In addition to literature, the department encourages the study of Bengali linguistics and philology, allowing students to understand the language’s structure, development, and evolution over time. Through courses on grammar, syntax, and semantics, students develop a deep understanding of how the Bengali language functions along with its historical influences. The department often collaborates with other disciplines, such as history and philosophy, to offer a well-rounded curriculum.

The department also actively engages in research, fostering a scholarly environment for both students and faculty. Regular seminars, conferences, and workshops are organized to discuss new trends and research findings in Bengali studies.
