By the time the University’s FYUGP (Four-Year Undergraduate Program) began in the academic year 2024–25, more than 150 students had completed one academic year across five Science batches and two Arts batches, with Malayalam as their Second Language.
According to the 2025–26 FYUGP project, more than a hundred students are studying Malayalam in the first and second years under the following courses: AEC 2, MDC, Minor MDC, and VAC.
We follow the university-approved syllabus and scheme for teaching. Many efforts are made to develop the literary and intellectual potential of our students.
It has been observed that our students enjoy Malayalam classes, as they feel free to approach the faculty in the department at any time for guidance and support in their cultural, artistic, and academic learning. The classes also provide them with opportunities to experience the pulse of real-life issues.
We give a great deal of attention to academic planning. Classes are allocated to teachers based on their expertise and areas of interest. We place strong emphasis on a student-centered approach in teaching.
Evaluation, both internal and external, is conducted to assess the students’ abilities. Home assignments are given generously and creatively to enrich internal assessment. Class tests, discussions, and the use of media are also incorporated as effective methods for learning the language.
The students admitted to degree courses come from different Boards of Higher Secondary Education such as CBSE, where Malayalam is not included in the syllabus. In such situations, we support these students in gaining proficiency in Malayalam by offering it as a Second Language. By the end of the program, we achieve remarkable outcomes from these students, which highlights the strength and success of our department.
At present, there is one permanent faculty and one guest faculty working in the department.
