There has been a constant endevour to inlpl'ove the higher education in India by implementing

inhancing the academic standard and quality in highe| education including innovation and improvements

VISION

Over tlre years Philosophy has been central to the growth and development of world as such.

Philosophy indeed lias been the training ground in an everlasting pursuit of knowledge and excellence

urderstanding ofthe intricacies of universe is the subliniing and inherent strength of Philosophy which

tries to understand the universe in its totality.

'Education is not the learning of facts. but the training ofthe mind to think'. This insightful quote

by Albet Einstein, encapsulates both why if is that we need Philosophy and what exactly should

Philosophy aspires to be. The purpose of Philosophy is to trausform the spirit and rnind of young minds

with freedom to explore ideas and ideals so as to nrake this word a peaceful adobe fbr co-existence.

The M.A. Philosophy syllabus comprises l4 core courses to be taught over 4-semester, one GE,

three AECC, one DSC and two ECs in two years. The student will be evaluated througlr end-semester

examination/ploject eval uation.
