Undergraduate (BA Program) - B.A. (Hons.) Economics
Economics is about choice and is at the heart of all decision-making. Individuals, businesses and governments are all faced with making choices in situations where resources are scarce. As a result, Economics is applicable in a wide range of fields, including business, finance, administration, law, local and national government and, indeed, most aspects of everyday life. In studying Economics one can examine topics of obvious importance to human well-being. Increasingly, policy debate in all areas is being cast in economic terms and understanding most current issues requires an understanding of Economics. This program enables the economics graduates develop their general literacy, communication and numeracy skills, as well as skills of abstraction (balancing simplification against relevance), logical deduction (including precise use of language, for example in relation to cause and effect, necessity and sufficiency) and critical thinking. Skills of discrimination, flexibility and organizational ability are also enhanced. Learning Economics gives insights into the general environment of resource allocation decisions, opportunity costs and project evaluation that are crucially important in many areas.

Undergraduate (BA Program) - B.A. (Hons.) Psychology

All students are provided the sound knowledge of the subjects along with the opportunity to take different language courses which may enhance their career options. The education system lays great emphasis on continuous evaluation and transparency. By means of well designed tutorials and practicals, every effort is made to reinforce the concepts taught in the classroom and further enhancement of the learning is made possible by a unique educational concept called Project-Oriented Practice which consists of a project given to students from 5th and 6th semesters. Outside world exposure will be an integral part of the academic program leading to overall development of the student through learn to practical skills in real life situations. Education methodology comprises multiple learning stages, specific lectures, self-study, tutorials, laboratory work, assignments, projects, research, internships, guest lectures, seminars, continuous evaluation, examinations and personality development programs.

Undergraduate (BA Program) - B.A. (Hons.) Sociology
Sociology is the study of society including how groups of people interact, behave, and develop social network. It also looks at how forms of social structure such as caste, class, race, and religion affect people’s actions and opportunities.
