Combinations Offered
History, Economics and Political Science

History
Modernist history claimed its legitimacy as a discipline through the pattern of past reality. Hence, modernist historians articulated that ignorance of the past brought a condemnation of living perpetually in the present. The post-modernists have challenged this notion of past as it actually was, mapping out the inconsistencies of the past and history. Rethinking history as a discourse through which meaning is created rather than discovered, stresses on the cultural process of knowledge creation and organisation, rather than seeing knowledge as a kind of discoverable. This is an alternative view that sees history as a truth-making rather than a truth-finding discourse.

Economics
The undergraduate economics courses provide a sound theoretical basis in economic theory supplemented by practical applications of theories. The first four semesters are devoted to give a firm background in microeconomics, macroeconomics, development economics & international economics. In the fifth and sixth semesters, the students take two compulsory courses namely Indian Economy since Independence & Financial Economics. They have elective courses in the final year encompassing two options each semester. The elective courses offered by the department are mathematical methods for economics or health economics in the fifth semester and statistical methods for economics or environmental economics in the sixth semester.

Political Science
The discipline aims at imparting knowledge of indispensable institutions, concepts and ideals. The study of the subject enables an individual to learn the art of government and administration. The courses in the first two semesters focus on basic concepts of political science and major political ideologies. The next two, third and fourth, put emphasis exclusively on the Indian Political System. The fifth and sixth semester courses deal with Public Administration and International Politics.
