Program outcomes (POs), Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) and Course

Outcomes (COs) for all Undergraduate courses offered by Sri
Venkateswara College

Program Outcomes are a set of statements that provide information about the contents, scope
and competencies expected to be developed for a particular course of study or program offered
by an Institution. This clarity helps the teacher to plan and execute content-delivery in an
efficient manner. while the learner (student) is made aware of the standards that he/she is
expected to attain. Being a constituent college of University of Delhi (DU), Sri Venkateswara
College follows the syllabus as prescribed by the University of Delhi. Programme Specific
Outcomes (PSOs) for the courses offered provide information about the knowledge and skills
that would be expected to be possessed by a student, in a particular subject, upon the
completion of a undergraduate program. The PSOs and POs are communicated to students at
the commencement of every semester.
In order to develop clear academic goals, University of Delhi has made it mandatory to
formulate Course Outcomes (COs) describing what every student should be able to attain at
the end of any particular course. The COs has been developed in consultation with Head of
Department, teachers, students and other stakeholders. The CO is also communicated by
respective faculty to the students at the commencement of the course.
The POs, PSOs and COs, as included in the undergraduate syllabus are also uploaded on the
College website for wider dissemination and ease of access. This exercise has been undertaken
for all courses of the Old Courses, CBCS and the LOCF, and the New Course (UGCF) effective
from 2022-23.

DEPARTMENT: POLITICAL SCIENCE
Program Outcomes
A graduate in Political science is a person who embodies a curiosity towards the political
puzzles that confront her and is endowed with the ability to apply various tools to solve them.
PO1: The undergraduate course encourages raising questions and a problem-solving thought
process in its students, which it believes is central to the idea of shaping an informed graduate
student and an active citizen.
PO2: Political science graduates receive a strong training in foundational concepts enabling
them to distinguish and delineate features of each. This level of inquiry is further complicated
as they proceed through the curricular semesters; enabling them to engage in systematic
reflection of a kind that distinguishes their understanding from that of a lay person.
PO3: The undergraduate course in Political science shapes graduate sensibilities such that
students are alert to instances of discrimination and deprivation; difference and diversity which
they not only identify but can also persuasively argue about.
PO4: A Political science graduate is privy to the unique location of the discipline within the
social sciences and can contextual their learning within the disciplinary boundaries while
simultaneously and consciously using inter-disciplinary methods and concepts to understand
inter-connected social, economic and political realities.
PO5: Political science graduates go through rigorous training in academic writing which
includes writing logical and coherent essays as well as longer research articles in terms of term
papers. Classroom debate and discussion encourage them to think on their feet; sharpen their
submissions and argue persuasively. They are also introduced to a variety of writing including
commentaries and original manuscripts; government reports and alternative assessments as
well as visual and print media.
PO6: The discipline teaches students how to distinguish between various ideological
orientations; the multiple lenses that may be used to make sense of the same political event or
issue and thereby how to side-step biases and partisan positions in presenting their findings.
PO7: The discipline inculcates a culture of academic honesty and investigative rigour to ensure
authentic analytical outcomes.
PO8: The syllabus of the undergraduate course on Political science also encourages students
to get hands-on experience of how research in the discipline is conducted. They are encouraged
to draw up research questionnaires, select the field and decide on sample size and method of
selection, conduct interviews with respondents as well as focused group discussions, and
finally translate the responses into a coherent write-up.
PO9: These exercises are not limited to election analysis and collecting voter responses but are
primarily conducted to teach the student how to transition from the level of policy to the
practice of politics.
PO10: Political science graduates are uniquely positioned as the undergraduate course also
imparts an extensive understanding of international relations and global politics which allows
them to move beyond the traditional area and concerns of the discipline.
PO11: The course not only introduces them to various theories and concepts within
international relations but also includes a detailed discussion of contemporary international
events and decisions made by state and non-state actors apart from also looking at the
functioning of global and multinational organisations and institutions.
PO12: The perspective sharpens their understanding of the national and they can better
appreciate the nuances of state policies.
PO13: The comparative perspective which students imbibe through courses in two semesters
highlights the differences in states mapped along various indices such as development
trajectories and state formation.
PO14: Along with a richer understanding of select areas students are also encouraged to reflect
and think critically about Western frameworks of knowledge and understanding and how these
may be challenged by alternative frameworks emerging in what is broadly referred to as the
‘Global South’ Courses on Public administration familiarize the student with the complexities
of state and bureaucratic functioning as well as policy-making and advocacy.
PO15: The student learns about the concepts of organization and management and their
application which is extremely relevant to unravelling the intricacies of large public
organisations and corporate bodies.
PO16: The study of Indian politics provides the student with a means to navigate the labyrinth
that politics in India reflects. Students decode this through various categories including gender,
caste, class, ethnicity, and others while also effortlessly transiting across various levels of the
national, subnational, and local.
PO17: These courses anchor the indispensability of the inter and multi-disciplinary lens and
provide a corrective and challenge to the Western frameworks and models of understanding
political phenomena.
PO18: On the completion of the six semesters of the undergraduate course in Political Science,
a graduate is therefore equipped with an understanding of the six core areas in the discipline of
political science namely Political theory, Indian politics, Comparative Politics, Public
Administration, International relations, and Indian Political Thought.
PO19: They carry with them an understanding of research methods and investigation as well
as field experience in institutional functioning and survey research. Given this diverse skill set
and knowledge basket that the graduates have; the learning outcomes enable them to seek
gainful employment and engagement in diverse sectors such as academics, journalism, law,
social work, government agencies and research organisations, human resource development,
management, marketing and also the bureaucracy.
