VICE-CHANCELLOR’S NOTE
Looking Ahead
We stand on the threshold of a new academic year, a fresh beginning and myriad opportunities,
poised as it were to add to the innovative dimensions of higher education.
I extend a warm welcome to our new students and participants. As you enter our portals with
hope and optimism, I assure you that your sojourn here will shape you into well- groomed
knowledge workers. The English and Foreign Languages University is a young university
albeit with a rich history of teaching and teacher training both at its inception as the Central
Institute of English and later as the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages.
In its new avatar as a Central University these past 6 years, we are a young institution with a
rich history of 55 years. The different sectors of the University – the administration, the
faculty, and the students – can collectively carve a new identity with “mutual aid” and build a
strong and cohesive university which can withstand the vicissitudes of campus life without
losing stability. Peter Kropotkin, the evolutionary theorist, went against Charles Darwin to
prove that “mutual aid” and not “might” is the key to evolution. Higher education, I think,
needs to move in this direction: collaborations, linkages, and team building are indeed
hallmarks of growth and development. We need to temper rules and regulations with
discipline, diligence, and compassion. The aim should be to realize the enormous potential of
1
a modern university like ours and harness it to the growth of the nation. EFL University certainly
has the desired potential with its rich repertoire of languages, cultures, and literatures as
humanizing instruments.
I believe
in the spirit of Shri Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s vision, “the end product of education
should be a free, creative man who can battle against historical circumstances and adversities”.
The University must, therefore, be a place to help the youth develop themselves to
their fullest potential and contribute to the inclusive development of the nation and
a peaceful global society.
the university should prepare the youth to meet the challenges of a knowledge-
based society, and carve out opportunities for themselves by learning to compete
globally. In this direction, the need to train students outside of their regional
or national “boxes” becomes a crucial component.
we need to create a team of dedicated research-focused faculty, and give them the
opportunities and responsibility for initiatives, and reward them for notable effort and
results.

Prospectus 2013-14
To me, strong leadership is about consensus building, effective navigation, and balancing
and synergizing the pillars of an institution such as ours: its students, faculty, and
administration. The reporting system is the key to the health of an institution. Transparency
and accountability have to be the motto of every establishment as it reflects quality,
confidence, and trust. For a strong organizational structure, I believe, there has to be a
periodic macro and microanalysis of our strengths and shortcomings. Corrective measures,
consolidation, and capacity building will then be in order.
To be part of the globalised fabric of the knowledge system, we need to constantly remind
ourselves of the great visionary, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who foresaw the need and
relevance of an English and Foreign Languages institution of higher education.

toward setting new benchmarks. An empathetic person, she touches many hearts and inspires
many as an able leader with integrity.

OUR FOCUS
The English and Foreign Languages University has been created by an Act of the Indian
Parliament with a view to building upon the achievements of the former CIEFL, and to

ABOUT US
When you join us here at EFL University in Hyderabad, you come to a city that is more than
four hundred years old. The institution you come to is six years old as EFL University; but is
fifty-five years old as CIEFL! You will notice that the new name, EFL (pronounced “ii-fl”), is
contained in the old name CIEFL (pronounced “sii-fl”), even as the new institution has emerged
out of the old, with a renewed commitment to academic excellence. (CI)EFL is well known to
the outside world. Scholars who have studied here can be found in high academic or other
positions in India and abroad. Our students too can be found pursuing their studies at other
institutions of excellence in India, or abroad. EFL University can take you very far in your
chosen line of study or specialization. If you are learning a foreign language, you can start
from zero level and go as far as the PhD degree. If you are pursuing courses in English
language or literature, you can now start with a BA and again get as far as PhD There are many
routes you can take towards your specialisation, and there are many other courses of study as
well. In this prospectus, you will find all the essential information you need in order to decide
on a course of study and join us.
The Central Institute of English was first set up in 1958. In April 1972, the Institute
broadened its scope to include the major foreign languages, and was renamed the Central
Institute of English and Foreign Languages. In recognition of its high standards of excellence,
the University Grants Commission accorded it the status of a deemed University in July
1973.
CIEFL became a central University by an Act of the Indian Parliament in December 2006.
The Act came into force on August 3, 2007 and CIEFL was renamed EFL University. EFL
University continues to build upon the achievements of CIEFL, and significantly expand its
activities on the national and global scene. Its mandate is to advance and disseminate
“instructional, research and extension facilities in the teaching of English and Foreign
Languages and Literatures in India” as well as “to take appropriate measures for inter-
disciplinary studies and research in Literary and Cultural Studies, and to develop critical
inter-cultural understanding of civilizations.” The university is committed to the principles
of inclusive and cosmopolitan growth. Keeping these objectives in view, the university has
constituted 11 Schools with 42 Departments in all. These are listed below.

About Us
Students
Students at EFL University come from all over the world. In recent years, our MA and research
programmes have drawn increasing numbers of participants from many countries. We are a
preferred choice for recipients of the ICCR (Indian Council for Cultural Relations) scholarships
for foreign nationals awarded by the Ministry of External Affairs. In addition to our regular
programmes, a variety of need-based courses are run throughout the year, mostly for
teachers of English and foreign languages. So you will find a variety of participants on
campus, a virtual kaleidoscope of the world and the nation: they are the ones who make
us what we are. You will learn as much from your interaction with your fellow participants as
from your classes and lectures, and we are proud that this is so. Our courses and programmes
(unless they are very specialized) follow the cafeteria system, and most courses are modularized:
so you can pick and choose your courses, build up enough credits for your degree, and even
decide the kind of degree you want to acquire. This means that we expect our participants to
be mature individuals, making choices and decisions on their own right from the time they join
us. Our teachers are ‘facilitators’. They are among the best in the country and are leaders in
their fields.
Teaching Staff
We have some of the best English and foreign language teachers in the country. The
difference between our faculty and that of other universities lies in the fact that rather than just
being specialists in their areas, all of them have a special interest in how their disciplines are
organized and taught. You could say that our teachers are teachers of teachers. Interest in
questions of pedagogy is an implicit given here. Our teachers are also researchers, often
responsible for leading their areas or even creating their disciplines. Teachers and visiting
faculty often offer semester-long courses in areas that are not necessarily part of the
mainstream academic activity at the university - a reflection of the university’s commitment to
intellectual cross-fertilization and inter-departmental synergy.
Visiting Scholars
Since our inception in 1958, we have attracted an array of committed and distinguished
teachers, scholars and researchers from all parts of the world, all keenly interested in raising the
standards of teaching and learning English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Arabic and
Japanese. Many leading luminaries have visited us and interacted with our faculty and researchers,
and each one of them has contributed to the development of a unique intellectual ethos and a
vibrant tradition of academic freedom and self-reflection at the university.

About Hyderabad
Hyderabad, which is the capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh, consists of three distinct
urban centres: Old Hyderabad (also called the Old City), which was the centre of the Nizam’s
rule until it became part of the Republic of India; New Hyderabad, which is the seat of the
present State government; and Secunderabad, which began as a British settlement, and is
a modern industrial metropolis. Once you settle down at EFL University, you must take a one-
day guided tour of Hyderabad and acquaint yourself with its sights and sounds, its stories and
histories. You will find yourself crisscrossing the streets of Koti and Abids, looking at
secondhand books and bargaining for favourable prices! In the evening, you may find yourself
jostled about by shoppers in Sultan Bazaar. If you are a poet, you might write a poem entitled
“In the Bazaars of Hyderabad” as one poet did, not so long ago!
So, there is much social life outside EFL University! There is also much academic life outside
EFL University, for Hyderabad is home to no fewer than nine universities and innumerable
institutions of national and international importance. The universities are:
Osmania University (We are located adjacent to it)
University of Hyderabad (UoH)
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University
Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University
Telugu University
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University
Moulana Azad National Urdu University
Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences
And of course, your own, EFL University!
19
There are so many research institutions that we do not have space to mention all of them. Here
are a few:
Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI)
National Institute of Nutrition (NIN)
Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB)
Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT)
National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI)
International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
OU Centre for International Programmes (OUCIP) (For merly known as the
American Studies Research Centre, ASRC).
The library holdings of UoH and OUCIP are of great use for our research scholars. Metro
service trains run between the MMTS stations of Sitaphalmandi (which is very close to our
campus) and Lingampalli (which is not far from the UoH campus). The OU Library and the
OUCIP are within walking distance.

You will be admitted to the general MA programme, and you can make up your mind re-
garding the nature of your MA degree, by the end of Semester II. We will give you more
details and help on this after you join the programme. Our MA programmes are modular.
Details about specialized and bracketed MAs are given below:
In each of the menus a set of courses is identified as belonging to the core. In some areas
there are also core and optional courses pertaining to that specific area. For instance, the
TESL menu and the English Literature menu have courses that are core and optional for
those who want to specialize in TESL and English Literature respectively.
Each course is assigned a specific number of credits. A credit is a unit of academic work
which is computed in terms of parameters like the level of complexity of the course, the
number of contact hours, and the extent of self study required.
To graduate with an MA you need to acquire at least 80 credits over a period of four
semesters.
Do not confuse credits with grades. If you successfully complete a course worth 5 credits,
36
Prospectus 2013-14
you get 5 credits. The grade you get for that course may range from the highest to the lowest
depending on your performance.
In order to pass with a specialized MA you need to accumulate 50 credits from the area
of specialization. You are free to choose the remaining 30 credits from any of the other
fields of study at the university. So, for an MA in English, you need 50 core credits
from the area of English and for an MA in English Literature you need 50 credits from
the English literature menu. In either case, you are free to choose any other courses for
the remaining 30 credits.
To get a bracketed MA you need 40 core credits from the area of English and 40 credits
from the area of specialization.
The handbook you get on registering for the programme will give you the detailed break-up
of the credits. At the time of admission you are not required to identify the degree you
want. The system allows you to explore the various available options and move towards an
area of specialization by the end of the second semester (when your interests might have
taken a more definite shape), so that you finally emerge with a degree that reflects your
strengths and aspirations.
For basic courses, you can expect as many meetings with your instructors per week as there
are credits for that course. As the complexity of the courses increases, the meetings in class
every week tend to become fewer, and the amount of time you work on your own more.
For each credit that you register for, you must be prepared to spend 25 to 30 hours during
the semester – this will include class hours, self-study, and examinations.

About the programme: Master of Computational Linguistics is a two year post graduate programme with four
semesters. A total of 80 credits have to to be earned by the end of four semesters, with a minimum of 20 credits
to be earned by the end of each semester.
Successful completion of 70 credit hours of courses from three separate modules, a, b and c (see table below), 5
credit hours from a course from any of the three modules or from outside the School of Language Sciences, and
project work and/or internship of 5 credit hours will result in the award of a Master of Computational Linguistics
degree. Table below provides the details on the credit hours in each separate module.
Students will be expected to complete the program within two years (four academic semesters). 75 credit hours of
taught courses will be completed within four semesters, in addition, at the end of the fourth semester, students
will complete 5 credit hours of project work and/or an internship. A faculty advisor will help the student
complete a project in a timely fashion and provide both intellectual and academic support.
EFL University has one of the strongest theoretical linguistics programmes in India. This
includes three major departments - Linguistics and Contemporary English, Phonetics
and Spoken English, and Computational Linguistics. All these departments offer semester-
long courses that cover a wide array of topics in linguistics, both basic and advanced. The
programme admission committee has divided all these courses on offer into three separate
modules. The details of these modules appear below:
38
Prospectus 2013-14
2. Theoretical linguistics: In this module students will enroll in courses dealing with
basic and advanced issues in each of the following areas: Phonology, Morphology, Syntax
and Semantics. Over the course of two years (four academic semesters) students will complete
20 credit hours of courses within this module.
3. NLP and applications: In this module students will enroll in courses dealing with
basic and advanced issues in NLP research and applied areas such as information extraction,
information retrieval, machine translation, automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech
synthesis. Over the course of two years (four academic semesters) students will complete 30
credit hours of courses in this module.
39
Hyderabad Campus (Face-to-Face Mode)
The courses in this programme relate to journalism in the print and broadcast media, with
emphasis on both theory and practice. The courses provide you with a hands-on experience
in newspaper, and radio and television production. You will also intern in one media-related
industry by the end of the two years.
Each of these courses is assigned a specific number of credits. A credit is a unit of academic
work, which is computed in terms of parameters like complexity of the course, the number

The Shillong Campus of EFL University (called the Northeast Campus of the former CIEFL)
was established in 1973 to cater to the needs of the North-eastern region. You can reach
Shillong by road from Guwahati. The nearest railway station and airport are at Guwahati.
The campus is now operating from a building on NEHU campus. The Government of
Meghalaya has allotted 50 acres of land at Umsawli, on the outskirts of the Shillong city.
The permanent campus will come up on the allotted land.
Fringed by beautiful lush green countryside, Shillong is a land of lakes and waterfalls, and hills
and peaks. The wettest place on earth, Cherrapunjee, is only 56 kms away from Shillong. The
strategic geographic location of the Campus, the idyllic setting, ethnographical factors and the
primacy of English in the region for educational and career opportunities, make the Shillong
Campus an ideal academic destination.
The Campus offers many teacher-training programmes to strengthen the teaching of English
and foreign languages in the Northeastern region. The Campus has trained more than 3000
persons in English and foreign languages.

HOUSING FACILITIES
In addition to the university’s hostels (men’s and women’s) a range of private flats, houses, and
lodgings are available throughout the city, including houses shared with other students, single
or double bed-rooms, self-contained flats, and rooms in properties occupied by their owners.
The cost of such housing and the facilities included obviously vary. They may be in the range
of Rs. 5000/- per month. It is therefore important for new students to begin their enquiries as
early as possible.
Newly arrived students from overseas often need temporary accommodation whilst they
find a place more permanent. This can be arranged by the university in the Hostels or Guest
Houses, depending on your date of arrival. You must, however, inform us in advance about
temporary accommodation if any, needed by you. For ICCR students, the ICCR Regional Office
