Department of Philosophy is a premier center for teaching in Philosophy. It offers Bachelor Degree Course.

The Department espouses the philosophy that Philosophy looks at a problem in a variety of ways. This diversity of the subject is reflected in its course that exposes students to the existing schools of thought and thereby gives them a broad training.

Teaching philosophical theory is not viewed merely as an exposition of received and established truths or as an intellectual exercise in the skills of logical deduction and inference. The faculty aims at making the students understand the process and logic of inference from observations that go into the making of theoretical constructions. Thus the students are not just acquainted with rigorous techniques of analysis but trained to look for the relation between theoretical and empirical categories.

The success of the Department may also be judged from the quality of the graduating students and the high demand for their skills in India and abroad.

A distinctive feature of the Department is the ready accessibility of its faculty to students. The emphasis is on learning and not just on memorizing. Students have to write term papers, give presentations, solve problems, appear in open book examinations, etc. In the process there is continuous evaluation and students with academic difficulties have the opportunity of resolving their problems. Thus, Department prioritizes the academic interests of its students and is student-centric.
