University Department of Political Science
About Department
The department of Political Science, under the faculty of Social Sciences,
was established in1960 as one of the earliest departments of the then Jamshedpur Women’s University.
Since its inception, the department has been working in the field of women education and empowerment.
It sees its role in providing young minds a space where they can engage in critical thinking and share
their views freely. It seeks to create an environment where young women can learn to think analytically
and reflect critically. The department also tries to work on the challenging enterprise of understanding
multifaceted societies and their politics. It makes its contribution towards the development of an intellectual
and academic environment through which a peaceful and harmonious society based on the principles of fairness and
justice can be achieved.
The Department offers undergraduate (B.A.), postgraduate (M.A.) and Ph.D. programmes in the subject. It has been
offering these courses to its students according to the latest framework of syllabus prescribed by the UGC from time
to time. In the preceding years, we had adopted the CBCS framework for UG courses since 2016 and LOCF for both UG and
PG programs since 2020 enabling our students to remain updated and at par with other students in the country. We take
pride in the fact that a considerable number of our students compete and qualify for various national-level exams in
the subject.
Since 2022, the Four Years Under-Graduation Programme (FYUGP) recommended by the New Education Policy 2020 has been
successfully running in the department. It consists of an array of interdisciplinary and wide-ranging course contents.
The objective of the curriculum designed by the department is to expose its students to all branches covering theoretical,
conceptual and empirical aspects of the discipline of political science which in turn enable students with the necessary
conceptual awareness needed to undertake further specialized studies and research activities. The intake for the
Undergraduate course is approx.150 and for the Post-graduate Course, it is 100.
Our students also get the opportunity to do research by enrolling themselves in research program offered here.
Currently three students are pursuing their PhD the department.
