DEPARTMENT OF ARTS

BACHELOR OF ARTS(B.A)

Students who choose to pursue a BA Degree have a wide range of subjects to choose from: History, Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Psychology, and Art to name a few along with Hindi, English, and Environment Science as compulsory subjects. They understand how integrative, multidisciplinary, and experimental approaches to study the ways humans, animals, and machines process information.
The ongoing BA programme has a paradigm shift in its approach and outlook a genuine shift from a purely cognitive one to the one that places employability at the very core of its objectives. So each subject in the programme has included Skill Enhancement Courses to add value to its subject. These skill enhancement courses will make the students’ skills marketable. The students are well for a rewarding professional future.
Instead of looking at education from the high altar of theory, the program now reaches out to its students in practical terms: helping them look not just for avenues to place that knowledge in but also to seek employment and livelihood.

The outcome of the BA Programme:

I. Cognitive Skills: Our students, studying a combination of subjects offered by the institution develop a sharp consciousness of history, society, culture and the political legacy of our country. The programme helps make our students aware of our sociological, cultural and religious diversity and harmony. The cognitive skills acquired therefore, will help the students to develop outlook regarding contemporary society, local, national and international.
II. Employment Skills: Employability remains at the very core of the programme. Upon completion of the degree, our students will be employable in the fields of journalism, hospitality, law, advertisement, theatre, education, tourism, horticulture and various other industries. The programme emphasizes on developing reading, writing and comprehension skills which make the students fit and eligible for jobs in the government and non-government sectors. A broad spectrum study of various subjects helps the compete in various examinations for employment after graduation.
III. Affective and Behavioral Values: Humanities play a great role in inculcating values in the students. Our students are highly aware of environment, hygiene, and other aspects of social responsibility. Various activities during the three year programme; social, religious, political and cultural, help shape personalities who understand and appreciate religious and cultural diversity and plurality.
