About:

The Department of Public Administration was established right at the inception of the college in 1973. Public Administration is currently offered as a subject in two combinations:

  • HPP (History, Political Science, Public Administration)
about

Exclusively for the B.A. programme. These two combinations provide need based education to suit the requirement of the students for appearing in competitive examinations such as the civil service examination. A public administration degree provides insight and prepares students to manage public agencies, set budgets, and create government policies. These policies can be on diverse topics ranging from the environment to political administrative issues. In addition, a public administration background will explain the most favourable way to implement policies and decisions once they have been made. In this B.A. programme Public Administration as a study, we describe what public administration entails, as well as guidance for students who seek a degree and a career in this exciting field.
