<ul id="eael-feature-list-b7eb63d">
	<li>
	<h2>Concept, Knowledge &amp; Understanding</h2>
	I know many Political Science Graduates and Post Graduates. They are struggling for employment or cracking any exam, which is even related to the Political Science domain. There is no need to explain why this is happening, the plain reason is the lack of knowledge and understanding of the subject. Dear Aspirants, you know what they teach you in your college for your knowledge, there is no need to highlight the education system of India. You people study two days before the paper and pass your semester exams. In fact, some of you are also scoring good marks. But in real life, the knowledge is appreciated more than the marks. In this course. You will develop your understanding, concept, and knowledge in this particular subject. Which will ultimately empower you.
	</li>
	<li>
	<h2>Admission in Central University</h2>
	Definitely, this course is intended to qualify for the CUET PG Political Science 2024 Exam for various Universities. Last Year, almost every student qualified for a Central University such as JNU, DU, JMI, BHU, SAU, HCU, and many more. Some of them were intended to enroll in their best State Universities such as Cotton University and Gauhati University in Assam and many popular universities in Odisha through CPET.

	<h2>Foundation for UPSC PSIR</h2>
	Most of you are Civil Services Aspirants and may have decided to choose Political Science and International Relations as your Optional in UPSC Examination. However, when you enroll in any coaching for PSIR pay 50 to 60 thousand rupees. You may not understand that completely which leads to anxiety, depression, and sometimes even an inferiority complex. It is ironic that despite being a Political Science Graduate you are unable to comprehend. This is due to a lack of basic knowledge in Political Science. In this course we will touch most of the topics of PSIR, and you will have a basic knowledge beforehand. Which will make your UPSC Journey smooth and easy.

	<h2>Foundation for UGC NET JRF</h2>

This financial support helps ease the financial burden of pursuing further studies. Moreover, it sets you on a path to academic excellence, enabling you to pursue a Ph.D., bolstering career prospects, and fostering a deeper understanding of political issues. It&#39;s a significant step toward a fulfilling and impactful career in academia.
