The Department of Political Science of Barnagar College Sorbhog makes a noble attempt to welcome students into an understanding of the political world in general and politics of India and Assam in Particular. Through this initiative, we try to develop critical thinking among students to look into the day to day political happenings around us.

The scope of Political Science has been expanding in recent times. After graduation in Political Science, many of our students have been successfully pursuing law or careers in a range of different areas from management to government, civil services, journalism and international relations.

Many of our graduates choose to become involved in print, television, or radio journalism, when they apply their expert understanding of political systems to create reports about concerned events.

As a political scientist, one can render service in various fields like- for Government, in a think tank (research organisation), in non-profit organisations, as a non-political pressure group, to the academic institutions such as college or university, or even in the business houses.
