About the Department of Economics:
The Department of Economics was established in the academic year 2024-25 and offers a four-semester M.A. Program in CBSC mode. In addition, the department runs a Ph.D. program with admissions in line with UGC 2022 regulations. Our faculty members are highly qualified and not only engage in teaching and research but also actively mentor students preparing for various competitive exams such as UPSC, GPSC, NET, GSLET, IES, and others. The department also encourages students to pursue entrepreneurship for self-employment opportunities. With our guidance, our students have successfully secured SSIP grants to support their businesses in a short period. Our extension activities focus on contributing to the socio-economic development of tribal areas and the eastern part of Gujarat, as well as fostering academic-industrial collaborations with various organizations. The department is on track to make significant strides in innovative teaching, research, and extension activities.
