Jindal School of Government & Public PolicyJindal School of Government and Public Policy (JSGP), one of the twelve schools in the University, engages with th e contemporary policy environment, which demands new imaginations, methodologies, and revitalized ethics. Through national and international collaborations, JSGP promotes interdisciplinary studies, teaching and research programmes, and strives to develop a comparative perspective on local and global policy issues.
JSGP offers students a well-rounded education and exposes them to the field in both rural and urban contexts and the institutional mechanisms of governance. JSGP regularly invites academicians, activists, senior officials, politicians, NGOworkers, policymakers from the United Nations (UN) and other international organizations to deliver lectures and interact with students and faculty members.
B.A. (HONS.) / B.Sc. (HONS.) ECONOMICS The JSGP undergraduate degrees in Economics are versatile and can lead to various employment choices while providing a student with vital skills for understanding and influencing economic outcomes. Programme graduates would be able to understand the interplay between economy, society and politics; evaluate economic problems through the lens of a global perspective while taking a local approach to solving them.
Students can pursue either a B.A. (Hons) or a B.Sc. (Hons) as a 4-year degree programme with or without research. The first year is foundational for both programmes and is the same for students from both streams. Students in their second year take some common courses and remaining courses from their respective streams. During the next two years, students read a mix of core and elective courses related to their chosen programmes. Both programmes offer Honours with Research as per the National Education Policy 2020.
A Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Economics has a bit more emphasis on understanding economics analytically, mathematically, and empirically, while a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Economics provides a bit more practical, and analytical knowledge and cutting-edge tools that allow students to focus on global issues related to economics, business and policymaking. Both programmes provide a firm foundation in economic theories, econometric models, and ideas, enabling students to analyse and comprehend economic data and trends. Graduates of both B.Sc./B.A. work in finance, banking, consulting, government, research, think tanks, and other fields.
