Program overview
This program offers thorough Online Preparation for UGC NET English. It is for students who love English Literature and want to become scholars of literature. It is designed to give a thorough grounding in the subject that will equip you to excel in UGC NET English and similar exams in English literature and define a career in this field.
The program has been designed to cover every topic, in detail over a period of one year. It ensures thorough understanding, for the exam and after. Students who are looking for a life in literature will thrive in the rigour of this program.
The course covers every major era of English Literature in depth – from the Greco-Roman period to the contemporary period. This includes the major movements, authors, their works and writing styles of each era. The course also dives into the development of the English language, and the various socio-political influences from the time of Plato to postmodernism. The program includes literature from several countries such as America, India, Australia, Canada, Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Ireland.
Along with preparation for the NET English literature exam, this course focuses on professional development and career grooming. It introduces students to opportunities beyond teaching, such as research, publishing, journalism, management, media, and various kinds of writing. After this course, research enthusiasts will have well-developed research skills, and the ability to select their research area with clarity and confidence. Similarly, those who wish to explore and pursue alternate careers will get knowledge and exposure through workshops. Students who, instead, want to study further (abroad) will benefit from interactions with credible firms and practical tips from them.

I want to express my gratitude towards Kalyani Ma’am and. She has proved to be an angel in disguise for me. Her NET course helped me a lot.
All the lectures were in a fully elaborate manner that made a tremendous change in my preparation. Moreover for paper 1, Team Vallath provided all the required help that was needed.
I had also purchased Ma’am's Encyclopedias. I followed her on every platform such as YouTube, Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram too. And tried to follow her sayings as much as possible.
She is my Guru and I will be obliged to her for the whole career ahead.

I was a student of Kalyani mam in 2004. More than claiming she was my teacher I would love to address her as a role model and mentor because it is through her I learnt to inspire myself and believe in myself. She did not just teach literature or literary theory, she just ignited the spark of knowledge which would brighten not only myself but also the people around me. I got a sense of understanding myself and how to teach and approach the subject as well as the students through her. She is not one who merely teaches you some ages or forms of literature, she lets you embark on a journey towards knowledge which will shape your life itself.
She is the best one can get as a teacher, mentor, role model!

Kalyani ma'am has been a great support in my journey towards higher studies. I lost touch of literature but when I started preparing for NET, I came across Kalyani Ma'am's YouTube videos. I was so bewitched by her that I bought old recorded classes, her udemy classes and waited for her to start her online classes. Ma'am did not just teach us, she was a constant guide of life. She pushed us to ramp up our skills of learning as well as soothed our insecurities. She has been a great inspiration and role model for me throughout my journey. I qualified GATE 2023 and was able to get into the prestigious IIT BHU for the PhD program. I owe a big part of my success to Kalyani ma'am as well as to TES. I specifically want to thank Princy Ma'am who helped me get a direction in preparing my research proposal. I'm blessed to be part of TES.
