The Department of Economic Studies and Policy (DESP) looks at academic engagement with a difference. While the major focus is on teaching of basic principles of Economics, the department search is for new epistemology both in theory and practice. It continues to focus on improving its course curriculum based on the evolving theoretical paradigms being witnessed in the field of Economics by different schools of thought that have ontological bearings. The diverse knowledge base in Economics and its ramifications on society and polity continues to be a primordial source of choice for direction of research. The department nurtures creative impulses of both faculty and students and continuously provides forums for developing critiques of existing theories and practices only to create a new space for the latter. While doing so, it contextualises emerging theoretical postulations at all levels including local, sub-regional, national and international. The department aspires and attract students and teachers to the department from all over the country and abroad to develop it as a unique department of learning and develop collaboration with other institutions for teaching and research.
Objectives of the Department :
To enlarge the scope for teaching of Economics as propounded by different schools of thought with an edge over both quantitative and qualitative techniques.
To conduct research in both theoretical and empirical planes.
To organise Seminar/Symposium/Dialogue/Workshop/ Training Programmes.

In additional an economist needs the discipline and versatility gained by detailed study of some economic problems and policy areas.
- Program Outcomes: The two years (four semesters) post-graduate programme is designed to train the students on the ever-expanding knowledge base in economics – both theoretical and applied. The students are not only exposed to alternative theoretical paradigms in economics but also trained to improve their analytical and quantitative skills for evaluating the policies emanating from the theories. The students undergoing such trainings would be equipped to undertake studies at a higher (doctoral) level and join academic profession or to adopt professional career in the corporate/government sectors.

- The students of this programme are encouraged to develop analytical perspectives required to explore new horizons of knowledge in the field of economics. The compulsory courses of this programme help to stimulate creative impulses of the students besides exposing them to various methodological aspects of research.
- Program Outcomes: At the end of training, students should:
- Eventually, the students are able to produce a good research output examining the validity or otherwise of the existing theoretical paradigm(s) at the backdrop of the empirical research that has sound implications for policy.
