Jindal India Institute (JII) of JGU has introduced the one-year, fully online Master of Arts (M.A.) in India Studies programme, the first full-degree programme in India Studies offered by an Indian university.
The programme is a path-breaking attempt to teach the India story in its entirety from India's lens. India's growing influence in the world has created an unprecedented demand for a deeper, more interdisciplinary understanding of its complexities: historical, cultural, political, economic, and philosophical. The M.A. in India Studies responds to this need, providing a rich academic experience grounded in India's intellectual traditions and contemporary realities. The programme aims to provide a comprehensive, rigorous, and well-rounded exploration of India. Taught by renowned scholars from JGU, it empowers students to explore and understand the richness of India's civilisation and its modern accomplishments and complexities.
Whether you are a diplomat, an Indophile, a member of the Indian diaspora seeking to reconnect with your roots, a business professional, a student, a researcher, or simply someone curious about India, this programme is designed to cater to your intellectual curiosity and professional aspirations. Non-Indian applicants will find this degree programme to be particularly compelling and they can use it as a pathway to making or shifting careers with a focus on engaging with India and its surrounding region. The world's largest democracy and the world's fastest growing major economy hold tremendous potential in the coming decades. So, learning about India deeply and systematically through our M.A. India Studies degree is a hugely beneficial step to equip oneself for the rest of the 21st century.
