About

HOW (Humanities Open Window) is an initiative dedicated to providing free, high-quality study materials for English literature students, with a special focus on WBSSC English SLST preparation. The platform is designed to serve as an open classroom, offering a rich multimedia learning experience.
Founded by Dr. Tarun Tapas Mukherjee, an Associate Professor in the English Department at Bhatter College, Dantan, HOW builds upon his long-standing commitment to academic excellence and accessibility. Dr. Mukherjee is also the founder of the Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities, established in 2008, which has set international standards in scholarly publishing.
WBSSC English Resources
HOW provides comprehensive study materials for WBSSC English, covering:
- Poetry, Drama, Novels, Short Stories, and Essays from the prescribed syllabus.
- Grammar and Usage—common errors, sentence structures, narration, and composition.
- Literary Devices—rhetoric, prosody, and critical analysis.
- Hyperlinked Study Materials for easy access to texts, critical works, and multimedia content.
- Guidelines for SLST English (IX-X & XI-XII) to help candidates understand exam patterns and expectations.
Continued Academic Support
Before launching HOW, Dr. Mukherjee started a WBSSC English blog () to assist candidates in securing teaching positions. In 2016, he introduced a premium website, but now, all premium materials are being made available for free, ensuring equal access to quality education.
Join the Learning Community
HOW is a not-for-profit initiative, welcoming contributions from educators and scholars. The platform aims to expand its resources, incorporating syllabi from various universities and hosting live and recorded lectures.
