Students Information

 

For Students in Research Training Programme:

The Research Training Programme (RTP) is meant for research students in the early stages of their doctoral work. It involves reading courses and written assignments. The programme consists of a core of interdisciplinary courses in the social sciences and a choice of specialized advanced courses in a host of disciplines mentioned below. The objective is to equip young researchers with a general grasp of the main intellectual concerns of social science research, the most important recent trends in the social sciences and a strong grounding in interdisciplinary methods.

 

The Research Training Programme is offered in the disciplines of Economics, History, Political Science, Sociology, Social Anthropology, Geography and Cultural Studies.

 

The RTP is particularly designed to provide the students with substantial grasp over research questions and methodologies that should help towards undertaking research projects leading to PhD in the respective discipline.  Most of the students enrolled for the RTP at the Centre in the past have successfully entered PhD programmes in reputed schools in India and abroad.

For Students in Ph.D. Programme:

 

The Centre has a PhD Programme which regularly accepts students interested in working on areas of faculty specialisation. The current faculty strengths are broad, and can support students interested in political theory and practice, literary and cultural studies, modern and medieval Indian history, art history, feminism and sexuality studies, international trade, macro economics, financial economics, labour economics, poverty and income distribution, law and economics and sociological theory and practice. Interdisciplinary work is encouraged. Since the Centre is not a degree-granting institution, students are expected to register in a West Bengal University of their choice which will accept the designated Centre faculty member as a co-supervisor.

 

A limited number of full-time fellowships are made available from time to time. Students who enroll for the PhD are expected to take the full credit Research Training Programme in their first year. Students will have access to the Centre’s excellent collection of books and journals in addition to online journals available on JSTOR and Project Muse. Hostel facilities are currently unavailable. During the programme, students are expected to furnish progress reports, and make an annual presentation of their work in progress.

Students may consult this page for periodic announcements inviting applications for the PhD programme and announcing fellowships.
