Master of Arts [MA]

The Master of Arts programme at Ramjas College, New Delhi, is a postgraduate humanities or social science degree meant for a student who already holds a bachelor's degree and wants to specialise further in a chosen discipline, with the exact subject depending on the department a candidate is admitted to. Study at this level moves away from broad survey papers toward closer reading, seminar-style discussion, and a research or dissertation component in the later part of the course, preparing a student for doctoral study, teaching, competitive examinations, or research and policy roles connected to the subject studied. Because Ramjas College is affiliated with the University of Delhi, the detailed syllabus, paper structure, and assessment scheme for this Master of Arts follow the university's own postgraduate framework for that subject rather than anything the college alone decides. The sanctioned intake for this course is divided across categories and quotas set by the university and the college, and the current session's category-wise seat matrix is published through the official admission process each year, which is the version a candidate should read rather than an earlier one.
