The B.A. (Hons.) Political Science program helps students understand political systems, ideas, and practices in India and around the world. It includes topics like political theory, different political systems, international relations, and government work. Students will study how political ideas have changed, how governments are set up, and current political issues. The program also helps students think critically, analyze information, and do research, which is great for those wanting to work in public service, policy-making, law, or teaching.
At Delhi Pathshala, we offer helpful resources and study materials to support students in their Political Science studies.
