What you study
The MA takes one subject to postgraduate depth. It is the degree that teaching, research and public-service routes in the humanities are built on.
Pick the subject your next step needs — a UGC-NET subject, a teaching post, a PhD — rather than the one that looks easiest, and confirm it is running for your session. Journalism and mass communication is not in this list because it runs as a separate MA (JMC) with its own fee.
- Hindi
- English
- History
- Sociology
- Economics
- Mathematics
- Political Science
- Buddhist Studies
- Home Science
- Public Administration
- Education
How it runs by distance
In distance mode you work through the programme's study material in your own time and submit assignments, and the term-end examinations are the university's. Admission and study support are facilitated by IICT and IIPM, Lucknow. Before paying, ask in writing how examinations will be held for your session — at a centre or online — since that decides your travel and leave.
The programme is designed for 2 years, and the university allows up to 4 years to complete it if you need longer.
Fees and payment plans
| Single payment | ₹34,000 |
|---|---|
| Annual instalments, in total | ₹35,000 |
| Semester instalments, in total | ₹36,000 |
Pay into the university's own account and keep the receipt for every payment. Figures follow the current fee card; confirm the fee for your session.
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
It suits you if you are a graduate who wants depth in one subject, for teaching, research, the UGC-NET or public examinations.
Look elsewhere if the goal is a corporate management role, which the MBA is built for.
What it leads to
- The UGC-NET in your subject, if your MA marks clear its qualifying threshold
- A PhD
- Teaching posts that ask for a postgraduate degree
