As one of the premier Universities in the country, B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology, in Vandalur Chennai, offers an opportunity in Public Policy for students who dream of a better tomorrow. Our “Public Policy” programme offers our students, faculty and staff, an opportunity to explore their intellectual hunger with research to address the current turbulent socio-economic and political challenges emerging in our multipolar world through policies.
Objective
Scope
Considering the growing demographic dividend of India, the government is in dire need of policy makers with an eye on the needs of the people and problem-solving skills. The Public Policy programme aims to close the gap between theory and practice through our students. Public policy is essential in every government scheme as research analysts are needed to identify gaps in the policy for the welfare of the people. This lacuna can also be visible to international organizations like OECD, World Bank who may require the skills the graduate brings to the table. Aside from employment with corporate sectors, a graduate with the spark to personally oversee change can always take their place as innovators, entrepreneurs who bring the change they wish to see in the world. With NCC, the students are also eligible to apply to defence oriented examinations and serve the nation.
Outcome
The B.A. Public Policy aims to equip our students with the capability to understand complex, multifaceted issues of the real world and apply their skills to solve them. Through our
guest lectures, seminars and fieldwork featuring IAS/IPS/IRS officers, we hope to impart mastery over skills that our students can use to redress real-world problems. As such, this programme is ideal for those who seek to be a part of the steel frame of India. Our undergraduate curriculum is designed to provide an immersive experience preparing for the UPSC/IAS exam along with several other competitive exams. We supplement our programme with NCC, through which we hope to instill a sense of discipline, resilience and patriotism.

Those students who wish to seek employment through the placement cell can do so and they will have the opportunity to work with prestigious, international organizations or corporations that assist the government formulate policies.
