Department of Political Science
The Department of Political Science currently has Special Assistance Programme, supported by the U.G.C., in International Relations and Political Theory. The Human Rights programme and the North East India programme are supported by the UPE project. The Department offers courses leading to M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees. The Department has a faculty and student exchange programme with the Uppsala University, Sweden.
M.A.Political Science
The M.A. programme in Political Science consists of 16 courses (8 core or compulsory courses and 8 optional courses) spread evenly over four semesters. Each course carries four credits. In formulating the entire programme, the Department is guided by the consideration that at the post graduate level, students should be familiar with all the sub-disciplines, trends, approaches, and paradigms of Political Science. With this in view, the Department offers core courses on Political Thought, Comparative Politics, International Relations, Indian Political Process, Public Administration and Public Policy. These courses are aimed at acquainting students with the latest political and theoretical trends, making the programme contemporaneous, relevant and useful. There is also a course giving an overview of the major approaches to the study of politics.
After completing these 8 compulsory courses in the first two semesters, students are required to choose 8 optional courses from a considerably long list of special courses. These not only supplement the compulsory courses in the core areas but also offer students opportunities to study such frontier areas like Human Rights, Feminism and Post-modernism.
