Is it a good option to choose Azim Premji University for development studies?

Yes, Azim Premji University (APU) is a good option for MA in Development studies. It is one of eminent social science universities in Bangalore. Development studies courses are purely Economics based in most institutes. However the course curriculum is quite different at APU, it is a fusion of multiple disciplines including Sociology, Economics, Ecology, Politics, etc. The institute has a group of highly qualified faculty, most of the faculty are alumni of Ivy League schools.

Given below is a brief insight to the program.

Every year more than 90 organizations visit the campus for the recruitment of the students from various NGOs, CSOs, CBOs, CSR units, corporate bodies, etc.
