With the ever-changing and evolving modern-day economic scenario, it is the need of the
hour to equip tomorrow’s professionals with the ability to adapt to change and overcome
the challenges posed. In line with this new approach, Economics and Public Policy play a
central role in interdisciplinary education, a key focus outlined in the National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020. At the Department of Economics and Public Policy within our
esteemed School, our undergraduate and post-graduate programmes are tailored to
address this need. Our curriculum is rooted in contemporary perspectives and backed by
empirical research, to provide a strong foundation in theory and quantitative methods.
The programmes in the Department of Economics and Public Policy not only explore the
complexities of economic theory and practice but also broaden horizons by
contextualizing these concepts within the larger fabric of the external world. Central to
our ethos is the enhancement of economic development and social progress—a driving
force that underpins our commitment to empowering students to tackle the nation's
socio-economic challenges head-on, devising innovative solutions to uplift the economy.
The Public Policy programme empowers students to understand the various factors
influencing policy formulation and implementation. The programme offers a holistic
overview of Indian administration, governance, and policies, providing a robust foundation
for success in competitive examinations.
As a part of MIT-WPU methodology, our unique Peace course, accompanied by Yoga and
meditation, exemplifies our holistic approach to education. Immersion programmes imbue
experiential learning, complementing our blend of classroom instruction, project-based
endeavors, and outcome-driven education.
With enthusiasm, I anticipate welcoming you to the enriching academic journey that the
School of Economics and Commerce offers.
