Politics is the most democratic of all sciences as the final judgments concerning political reality and
good life are the responsibility of all. In this backdrop, the study of political science as a subject is
infinitely beneficial in view of its being the key to the understanding as well as the possible solution of
all problems facing us in our contemporary times. Study of the subject opens up multiple opportunities for
political science graduates. Students can choose from diverse fields such as civil services, law, journalism,
print and electronic media, entrepreneurship, teaching and research, etc., for advancing one's career.
The growth of the Department has coincided with the progress of the discipline of Political Science
from a narrow body of legal and institutional knowledge to more comprehensive social sciences that
integrates and interrogates sociological, economic, philosophical and cultural dimensions and thereby
better relates to a purposive study of politics keeping especially the Indian reality in focus.
The Department offers B.A. programmes and runs regular seminars and workshops.
Political science is the study of politics and power from domestic, international, and comparative perspectives.
It entails understanding political ideas, ideologies, institutions, policies, processes, and behavior, as well as groups,
classes, government, diplomacy, law, strategy, and war. A background in political science is valuable for citizenship
and political action, as well as for future careers in government, law, business, media, or public service.
