[Note: Since AECC-1 (English) is a foundation course for General English therefore the concerned teachers are advised

to expose students first to the textbook: AECC-English followed by the textbook: English-1, This will be effective for

students enrolled for the academic session 2020 and onwards. As such, all the concerned teachers are requested to ensure

that teaching of the General English–I Course is taken up only after completing the English Communication Skills

(AECC-I) Course for the BA 1st Semester students]
