The English Language Centre of JGU was established in 2012 under the headship of Prof. Jagdish Batra. The main objective of the English Language Centre (ELC) is to be the epicentre of teaching and learning of English in all the four language skills including reading, writing, listening and speaking. It plays the role of an active partner in acknowledging the aspirations of students to become global citizens through the effective use of English with the different schools of the university including Law, Business, International Affairs, Government and Public Policy, Liberal Arts and Journalism, Architecture, Banking and Finance, etc. ELC aims to create awareness about the aesthetics of the English language through different activities like story writing, debates, discussions, public speech competitions and poetry recitations which are conducted under the banner of English Literary Society. Students from different schools are invited to participate in these events to improve their knowledge of English language and literature.
