This\nyear, incoming students will have four new contemporary programmes to look\nforward to, and two of these are the first of their kind in the country. These\nunique programmes are designed keeping in mind the fast paced developments\nacross the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nB.A. (Hons.) in Political Science degree is a three-year under-graduate\nprogramme that is dedicated to the study of political evolution of the world we\nlive in. This degree aims to train students in all forms and manifestation of\npolitics including from local, state, national and international levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nB.A. (Hons.) in Legal Studies aims to nurture legal imagination among young\nstudents and build a strong foundation to study law and social sciences in the\nfuture or be absorbed into legal and allied fields. This programme is the\ncountry\u2019s first ever multi-disciplinary undergraduate degree in legal studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nM.A. (Economics) programme fills important gaps in post-graduate Economics\ncourses as they are presently taught in most places in India and abroad.
