In Nizam College the Department of Persian is as old as the College itself, being one of the First Departments to start functioning in 1887. The Department has been handling Persian Language classes for the courses as Second Language and Classical Language offered by the College since the days of its inception.
In the initial years, only Intermediate and undergraduate level were held in the college. The Intermediate classes were discontinued in the 1960's and only undergraduate courses were being offered by the college. The department of persian since then has been teaching second language course and classical language as an optional for the degree courses. The department has thus moved with the times in reviewing its syllabi and updating its strategies from time to time.

The review of the syllabi for the under graduate courses is a continuous process and the Board of study constituted by the department is the supervising and ratifying body, that meets annually for the purpose. The College has also adopted the semester system of teaching and evaluation.
