Along with courses in their specialisation, one is offered a set of four common courses designed to survey (a) historiography and historical methods and (b) broad patterns of socio-economic and political formations and structural changes covering the Ancient, Medieval and Modern periods. In addition, one is also offered at least two courses on histories of countries other than India (or non-Indian history). Apart from these compulsory courses, one may choose courses in areas other than that of the specialization by exercising options which include (1) other periods of Indian history, and (2) courses in other Centres (with permission of the Faculty) in disciplines relevant to the student's area of interest and specialization.
