Department of Sociology

The Department of Sociology, commencing in 2025, proudly introduces its 4-Years Undergraduate Programme in Sociology in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This forward-thinking program offers students a comprehensive understanding of social structures, relationships, and processes while embracing NEP's vision of holistic, flexible, and multidisciplinary education. In today's rapidly evolving global landscape, the study of Sociology has become increasingly relevant. This program equips students with critical analytical skills to understand complex social phenomena, inequality, cultural diversity, and institutional dynamics that shape contemporary societies. Graduates develop invaluable competencies in research methodology, data analysis, and social policy evaluation—skills highly sought after across public and private sectors. Following NEP's flexible framework, students can exit with a Certificate after one year, an Advanced Diploma after two years, a Bachelor's Degree after three years, or a Bachelor's with Research after four years. All credits are stored in the Academic Bank of Credits, facilitating seamless mobility between institutions and disciplines. The curriculum encompasses classical sociological theories, contemporary social issues, research methods, and specialized areas including digital sociology, environmental sociology, gender studies, urban sociology, and social policy analysis. The program emphasizes experiential learning through community engagement projects, field studies, and internships with NGOs, research institutions, and government organizations. Graduates emerge prepared for careers in social research, public policy, community development, corporate social responsibility, human resources, media analysis, and international development. The program also provides a strong foundation for advanced studies in sociology, social work, public administration, development studies, and related disciplines, positioning students to become agents of positive social change in an increasingly complex world.
