Key note on the program
Political Science and Public Administration never ceases to have its significance, and never ceases to create jobs too. While political science deals with the various systems of governance and various thoughts and ideologies that go into shaping those systems, public administration deals with the formulation and implementation of various public policies for civil governance.
