Bringing life to literature
An alternative to rote learning. We promote intellectual growth and deep familiarisation with literature for UGC NET English aspirants.
Our story
Literature is perhaps the most lively of all things humans enquire into. At least so we believed until we saw the state of UGC NET English coachings and courses. They made literature into a lifeless corpse which fastened to students via a chain of rote learning. The Literary Odyssey was founded in 2025 as an alternative to that.
We seek to bring life to this exam and promote intellectual growth over stagnation. We focus on our students individually and help them fine tune their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. Literature is beautiful, enlightening and enriching.
We don’t need to “murder to dissect”.
The co-founders of The Literary Odyssey are Dhananjay Pathak and Shivesh Singh. They have cleared NET-JRF and GATE in English and secured top ranks in multiple national level exams, more importantly they love Literature.
Peehu Rasotra brings life to our mission with her creative vision and editing skills. If The Literary Odyssey has an identity it is only because of her work and talent.
