The Department of Arabic started functioning at Milad E Sheriff Memorial College in 1972, right from the inception of the institution. The establishment of this department motivated students from marginalized classes, especially Muslims, to come forward in the society and to learn university level education. Arabic courses are designed to teach the language as an integral part of their life, and culture. By the systematic and well maintained academic atmosphere, the department has secured excellent performance in university examinations and the pass percentage range is from 75 to 100. From the year 2010, the annual degree program has been converted as first degree program in Arabic (FDP) under choice based credit and semester system. All these developmental activities stood as a reason behind the praiseworthy inflow of meritorious students. The department has thus played a crucial role in popularizing the college as a renowned educational institution before the academic community throughout India and abroad. Maintenance of excellent rapport between the teachers and the student community has resulted in the comprehensive realization of the academic and extra academic potentials of the department. Considering the increasing demand and social justice, Government of Kerala has sanctioned PG course in Arabic in 2013. The Department of Arabic Language and Literature looks forward to superiority and excellence. It also seeks to enhance the Arabic Language status through research contributions that would improve its students.
The Department of Arabic Language and Literature seeks
- to provide a suitable educational environment, hold curricular and extracurricular activities and place research on its top priorities.
- to make the reach of its academic activities available to all the sections of the society, especially the marginalized and the needy
- to innovate the teaching-learning methods in tandem with the developments in the digital and information technology.
- to implant human, patriotic and environmental values in students to make them social committed and deeply responsible citizens.
