ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The discipline of Political Science engages the students to understand a broad and diverse area of inquiry covering Political Ideas, Political Theory, Comparative Political Systems, Indian Politics, Global Politics, and the Administrative State. It enables the students to revisit some of the universal concepts, theories and practices by locating them in the larger social, economic, political, and cultural processes. While developing a clear comprehension of the fundamentals of Political Science, they also get a good grounding in both theoretical and empirical knowledge that is essential to the discipline. They are trained to develop an analytical framework to understand the multiple perspectives of understanding political realities. It equips them to not only move towards an adequate understanding of the issues, challenges, dilemmas, and conflicts that are critical to contemporary polity, economy and society but also to argue, interrogate and contest the dominant understanding. Students with a Political Science background are one of the most proactive and innovative students of the college. Our graduates and postgraduates become influential performers in a range of professional settings.
