The department of political science and public administration was established in 1995 at IEHE. The department seeks to advance the science of politics and public administration through teaching and research. The B.A. (honours) course is designed to equip the students with the foundation of the subject while opening for them channels to pursue higher studies as well as opt for competitive exams or other career. The course is also designed to keep in tune with the civil services syllabus of the competitive exams. The department has introduced M.A. in public administration in 2000 and M.A. in political science in 2014. The PG course in M.A. in public administration is first of its kind in the capital and is addressed largely to those interested in public administration, management and development areas. The M.A. programme of political science besides offering advanced knowledge in core areas of subject focuses on specific areas of study like foreign policy and paper with special emphasis on analytical aspects of discipline. After declaration as research centre in 2005, the department provided vibrant Ph.D programme throughout the year, besides regular teaching. The department hosts seminars, panel discussions, workshops, extension lectures and study tour for its students. It has a vibrant student association and an excellent departmental library. All these exclusive features of department are attracting the students with higher percentage to get admitted. The regular faculties are dedicated and well qualified from the premier universities and are registered research guiders as well. The department progressed gradually and various new courses and research programmes were initiated, enabling the department to carve a distinct niche and explore new frontiers in the academic world. This is proved by the award of director’s medal to students of political science in the year 2008-09, 2012-13 and 2015-16 and looking forward for more such appreciation.
