Only Semester I and II are documented in this four-page institutional copy; do not infer later papers from the 2024–27 filename.

Part A heading gives 10x2=20 marks but its text says each question carries 01 mark. Confirm marking with the department.

Part B general word limit is 350 words; the 2026–27 paper uses a different scheme.

This source prescribes eight essays and eight short stories. The 2026–27 Major course has a shorter and reorganised list.
