Established in 1969, the Department of Political Science is one of the most dynamic and sought-after academic centres of the college. With a commitment to academic excellence and societal engagement, the department fosters an environment where students are encouraged to critically analyse political systems, governance, and global affairs through multiple lenses of inquiry. The department offers B.A. (Honours) Political Science, Generic Elective courses, Skill-Enhancement Courses (SEC), and Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC), ensuring interdisciplinary flexibility. The curriculum combines rigorous theoretical foundations with practical insights, enabling students to connect classroom learning to contemporary socio-political realities. Teaching methods include interactive lectures, research projects, group discussions, presentations, and fieldwork, cultivating analytical thinking and informed debate. An active student community forms the core of the department’s academic life. Various initiatives such as the Knowledge Club, Sambal, and Cinemates, alongside structured Peer Mentoring and Outreach Programmes, provide students with platforms to discuss pressing political issues and participate in community engagement. These forums nurture leadership, empathy, and critical engagement with real-world challenges. The department also publishes its annual e-journal, Voice, launched in 2016. Voice serves as a space for students to contribute original essays, reflective pieces, and research articles, fostering scholarly expression and debate. Through regular workshops, webinars, and career counselling, the department prepares students for diverse professional paths in academia, civil services, law, public policy, journalism, and international affairs. The ultimate goal is to nurture informed, responsible citizens ready to shape a democratic and inclusive world. Read Less
