We are a department of 11 faculty members, steadily rising in impact and number since the Institute's inception in 2016. The Department's diverse and overlapping research, ranging from Philosophy to Literatures in English to Economics to Sociology, is a testament to the vast potential of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Our research queries and pursuits are in line with the larger vision of the Institute: to enable collaborative interventions that are humanistic, creative, and have a social impact.
Towards its realisation, the Department is engaged with multiple funded projects that are interdisciplinary and socially relevant. In addition, we have 16 PhD scholars rigorously working on expanding the Department's research fields through searing lines of inquiry and dedicated research. The Department also offers a series of core and elective courses for BTech students of the Institute, inculcating a spirit of curiosity and ethical considerations in budding engineers and scientists.
We have a Language Lab with a capacity of 30-40 users to aid first-year BTech students in acquiring and improving their English language skills. The Department's collection of books and other reading materials is also growing by the day, and will soon have an exclusive space for storing and issuing.
