PERSONAL INFORMATION
I am currently designated as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at CDOE, Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanja Deo University. I completed my Master’s degree in English from the University of Delhi and qualified the UGC-NET examination in both 2022 and 2023. I have also qualified the GATE examination and successfully completed my Ph.D. coursework. Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in English at Fakir Mohan University, Balasore.
I have been actively involved in teaching and academic activities through various roles, including Guest Faculty at MSCB University, Assistant Professor at Seemanta Engineering College, Visiting Professor at the Academy of Management Studies affiliated to Utkal University of Culture, and Guest Lecturer at Arunoday +2 Residential College, Baripada and Diganta Vikas +2 Residential, Baripada. These experiences have helped me develop a strong commitment to teaching English literature and encouraging critical thinking among students. I had secured 9th rank in CPET, Odisha, All India 66th Rank in Delhi University Entrance Test for PG (DUET) and All India 25th Rank in Central University Common Entrance Test (CUCET) for PG.
My academic work includes authoring several Self-Learning Materials (SLM) for postgraduate English courses such as Poetry, Non-Fictional Prose, Drama, Criticism, and American Literature. I have also edited numerous academic modules and contributed chapters to different SLM publications.
As a dedicated, versatile, dynamic and student-centric Professor, I excel at fostering high-engagement learning environments in My core strengths lie in modern curriculum design, experiential learning methodologies, and seamlessly integrating educational technology into hybrid classrooms. I am deeply committed to mentoring diverse student populations, elevating academic performance, and driving departmental growth through active participation in institutional committees.
Through my teaching and research, I aim to contribute meaningfully to literary scholarship and inspire students to engage deeply with literature and critical inquiry.
