provides a foundation in subjects ranging from elements
of public policy and its relevance in ecient governance;
decision-making processes and specic analytic tools and
concepts of economic theory and statistical modeling with
the aim of creating a trained community of policy analysts
and evaluators. The programme is designed to equip the
participants with analytical approach and critical
perspective to policy issues, with special focus on training
to nd innovative solutions of complex policy problems in
the eld of public policy as well as in the emerging elds of
Environment, Disaster Management and Governance.

To give students a chance to apply the skill sets learned in
classroom to real policy issues and also experience eld
work, they are required to carry out exploration of a policy
issue and author a project report based on their ndings.

nationally known policy professionals. The department
oers BS, M.Phil and Ph.D degrees.
Unique Features of the Government & Public
Policy Programmes:
If we compare graduate studies in Government & Public
Policy (GPP) with other professional graduate degrees
such as in business and law, GPP degree programmes fare
better because of the following reasons:
A broad spectrum of courses in subjects such as
economics, policy analysis, management (including
nancial management/Public Finance) and most
importantly the courses provide training in
professional communications.
A low student/teacher ratio in most classes, allowing
signicant individual contact with the teaching
faculty
Flexibility to take courses from other departments
thus making the degree program rich in learning
experiences
Opportunities for substantial internships during the
school year and in the summer between the rst and
second year of most full-time programmes.
Above all, the graduates of GPP are exclusively equipped with
such needed skills required for working in the public / private
sector that spans governments, nonprot
organizations/NGOs, and private companies.
Career Options:
Prospective students often ponder over which jobs they
might get after completion of the degree programme. The
major question in the minds of prospective students as to,
what will be a typical career path of a graduate of GPP?
Graduates of the GPP programmes follow a range of

careers. Most people make this eld their choice because
they want to become public servants tackling issues or
problems that aect public. GPP graduates today hold a
wide variety of careers, with our passing out students
nding jobs at various levels of government, and the
non-prot and private sectors.
Our GPP graduates work for various levels of government,
others work in private sector commercial organizations in
the capacity of consultants or at various non-prot
organizations.
Some of our graduates focus on a specic and particular
public issue areas, then there are generalists who can work
in managing the developmental sector. Some graduates
have their focus on domestic issues and others have their
eyes set on international issues.
Our graduates have proven to be quite versatile. They
move back and forth between the public, private and
nonprot sector, or between an international setting and a
domestic one.
The reason why they can do this is because the GPP
degrees provide a set of analytical and management skills
that are advantegeous to have while moving across
sectors and across issue areas. Some of our graduates
conduct research on public policy concerns, while others
join various organizations as program ocers who help
implement various programmes.
