1 | Introduction
• Credit: The quantitative measure of recognition given to a course, stated in semester hours. Typically, a
theory course running for a full a semester with three contact hours per week would be 3 credits. Similarly,
a lab course with the same number of contact hours would be 2 credits.
• Major: The primary set of discipline-specific coursework pertaining to the student’s department/disci-
pline
• Minor: Additional basket of coursework done from a discipline different from the student’s original
discipline (and would also find mention in the final degree) Honors: Additional basket of coursework
done in the same discipline as the student’s original discipline (and would also find mention in the final
degree)
• Double Major: Coursework pertaining to two departments/disciplines and leading to two separate de-
grees.
• Additional Course: An additional course taken by the student over and above the minimum credit re-
quirements of the degree. Pre-requisite: The preliminary requirement, usually successful completion of
another course, that must be met before a course can be taken.
• Elective: Course chosen by the student and which would form part of his/her degree requirements.
• Free Elective: A course of the student’s choice, to be selected from the any department (subject to meeting
the pre-requisites)
• Core Elective: A course of the student’s choice, to be selected from the same department (or offered by a
different department, but identified as ”core” by one’s department)
• LA/CA Elective: A course of the student’s choice, to be selected from the Liberal Arts and Creative Arts
category
• Science Elective: A course of the student’s choice, to be selected from the Maths, Physics & Chemistry
list of courses
• Fractal Segment: The part or duration of a semester in which a particular course is offered
Each course is denoted by a course number consisting of two letters followed by four numerals.

Introduction
In the fractal system, a semester is divided into six segments. Each segment is approximately 2.5 to 3 weeks in
duration. Every fractal course is accompanied by a two-digit segment number indicating the duration of the
course. The first number denotes the segment in which a course will begin and the second number the segment
in which it will be completed. For example, Segment 34 means, a particular course will begin in segment-3 and
finish at the end of segment-4. Typically, a course running for full the semester (i.e., all six segments) would be
3-credits; so each segment will be equivalent to 0.5 credit. Accordingly, the credit of a course will be decided,
based on its segment data. For example, if the segment of a course is 56, it implies that the course will be
running in two segments (5 & 6). Hence, it will be 0.5 × 2 = 1 credit.

Cognitive Radio capable of cooperatively adapting transmission modes, channels, and protocols to make
the best use of the available spectrum. Such radios will include wideband receivers and
transmitters, with many of their functions implemented in software, rather than
hardware, to enable greater flexibility. While the most commonly cited example of uses of
such radios is sharing of under-used portions of the spectrum with licensed (primary)
users, the basic technology also can lead to improved uses of the ISM bands. In addition,
the cooperative and adaptive nature of the radios has large consequences for
jamming/anti-jamming in military communications, representing both a threat to current
systems and an opportunity for their evolution to more secure modes. The course
provides a background in the technology that makes these radios possible as well as
providing guidance on their benefits in multiple access systems.

.Only PG Architecture. We will explore different media and styles that evolved over the millennia,
and develop a vocabulary for speaking about works of art. Since art always grows out of
its social contexts, art’s dialogue with society will also be of special interest. And, of
course, we will study in detail magnificent paintings, buildings and sculptures!

LA4017 3 In this phase of human history the concept of ‘ethics’ delinked itself from religion/divine
Ethics And Modern Political authority and became more pragmatic. Perceptions about ‘human nature’ changed and
Theory state is projected as merely a technical organ to aid the individual. Thus the state is
.Only PG demystified and lost its glory which it enjoyed from pre-Socratic, through Hellenistic to
medieval periods (Ethical discourse during medieval period is omitted in this course
because of its overwhelmingly religious inclinations). Human became crux of every
discourse and apart from him/her no institution would enjoy any status. This has paved
way for the formulation of several discourses based on strict individualism. This course
would focus on: what this shift from state/church-centric ethical theories to
human-centric theories mean, what are the broad changes this shift brought, its shift
from subjectivism to staunch objectivism (for instance, most of these theories supported
and benefited from positivism unlike the earlier ones), limitaions in such shifts etc. All
this will be debated around their ethical implications.
European Enlightenment’s conflict with religion and emphasis on reason; ethical theories
of Rene Descartes; Baruch Spinoza, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Theory of human nature),
Geroge Edward Moore’s refutation of idealism and solipsism (how Moore’s views paved
way for ethical relativism); Brief principles of Individualism, Marxism (excerpts from the
writings of Karl Marx on human nature), Utilitarianism (Jermy Bentham theory of
hedonism); Logical Positivism and Ethical Emotivism.
LA4020 3 First philosophical contemplations about abstract ethical notions like virtue, truth, valor,
Ethics In Political Theory wisdom, love etc took place in ancient Greece in 6th century BC. This ancient Greece
.Only PG philosophy has created an epistemological base for all the later political theories despite
their ideological moorings. The course covers theories from ancient Greece to 20th
century:
Presocratic Period, Socratic Period (Athenian Period), Hellenistic Period: Major
differences between Hellenistic and Pre-Hellenistic political theories and changes in their
political system from participatory government to highly centralized state; Epicureans;
Stoics; Skeptics; Neo-Platonism by Plotinus; European Enlightenment’s conflict with
religion and emphasis on reason; ethical theories of Rene Descartes; Baruch Spinoza,
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Theory of human nature), Geroge Edward Moore’s refutation of
idealism and solipsism (how Moore’s views paved way for ethical relativism); Brief
principles of Individualism, Marxism (excerpts from the writings of Karl Marx on human
nature), Utilitarianism (Jermy Bentham theory of hedonism); Logical Positivism and
Ethical Emotivism; Postmodernism and Post structuralism.
Postmodernism was started as a challenge to everything that underlies modern
epistemology. It thus has raised complicated questions about all its basic assumptions
ranging from human nature, truth, telos, norms and established ways of doing academics
writing history and so on. Crux of this philosophy is extreme relativism and this implies
great challenge to most of the normative codes and expected behaviors in a given system.
101
Course Descriptions
This philosophical trend reflects in the current culture in multiple ways. While
postmodern philosophy has contributed to de-stigmatize several cultural/foundational
connotations, it has also posed great threat to the very settled notions of ‘morality’.
Hence, the present course would try to analyze these theories and assess their
applicability to rapidly changing current cultural scenario.

popular writing and literature. Students would be trained in discussing and responding
critically to both literary texts and their film adaptations while analyzing how such
narratives address complex cultural phenomena.
Pre-Req: Only for UG and basic proficiency in English with primary background in
literature.
LA4050 3 Personality Psychology addresses questions about how individuals develop
Personality Psychology characteristics that make them unique from each other, why they act and behave the way
.Only PG they do, historical issues and controversies that personality psychologists have
encountered, techniques used in assessing personality, and how the study of personality
psychology may be applied to everyday life. Some of the most popular personality
theories will be introduced. Since the organization of personality is a complex one,
shaped by many influences such as genetics, environment, and internal conflicts, one may
recognize that there is no one approach that would present an integrated picture of
human personality. The aim of this course is to provide an overall perspective that
includes a multitude of factors in understanding personality. This would help in
application of concepts from personality psychology for both personal development as
well as in understanding others.

.Only PG strengths model. This has led to several investigations in the area of resilience. This
course aims to trace the history of resilience research through discussion of the concepts
of vulnerability, risk and protective factors as proposed by researchers in an attempt to
understand the “paradox of resilience.” Conceptual issues and methodological
constraints faced in resilience research will be presented. Some of the major resilience

Course Descriptions
behavior in work places should be cognizant of the larger macro level factors which
influence employee behavior like attitude, motivation and emotions and also the
interplay between them. With this background this course aims to introduce theories and
concepts related to these macro level factors to doctoral students who are planning to do
research in the area of industrial psychology and work behavior.
LA6380 3 This course continues theoretical and methodological discussions initiated during the
Advanced Theories In Social course LA 6120, Advanced Theories in Social Anthropology. Students enrolled for this
Anthropology II course will be already familiar with broad transformations in disciplinary orientation in
.Only PG the wake of the “crisis of representation.” This course aims to help students connect these
ongoing discussions in the discipline of anthropology to their own research interests,
engaging with additional theoretical and methodological texts and frameworks as they
relate to students’ particular research projects.
LA6400 3 The recent positive psychology movement has brought to attention the importance of
Humor And Well-being humour in the context of well-being. Humour has been regarded as an intriguing part of
.Only PG behaviour by researchers; yet one often fails to acknowledge the functional aspects of
humour in our everyday lives. This course attempts to illustrate that humour deserves to
be “taken seriously”. The course has been designed to provide students with a scientific
understanding of the processes involved in the psychology of humour with the overall
objective of linking it to well-being. This course will present discussions from
evolutionary, developmental, and social standpoints while introducing theoretical
perspectives on humour. Related concepts such as smiling and laughter, application of
humour in everyday life, personality and individual differences in humour, and the effect
of humour on health will be highlighted. Finally, findings from empirical investigations
would be discussed in the process of gaining insight and understanding into humour
experiences.
LA6440 3 The history of the discipline of anthropology is a history of its technologies of
Visual Anthropology documentation and representations. Of these, the visual mode of engaging with and
.Only PG ‘showing’ the object of research has been the site for much debate with regard to its
efficacy as a theoretical tool. Can the visual, like the text, generate a theoretically sound
analysis? Or does engagement with the visual bring to surface the theoretical gaps in
textual analysis? This course will dwell upon anthropology’s history of visual
documentation of the bodies, indigineity and cultures, and trace the entanglement of
power and ‘ways of seeing’ embedded in the development of professional anthropology.
Beginning with colonial ‘showcases’ and exhibitions, the course maps anthropology’s
affinity with photography and film, to understanding the nature of ethnography within
new visual scapes of the Internet.
LA6450 3 This course will examine diverse literatures of the diaspora from the Indian,
Literature And Culture Of Jewish/Palestinian, and African contexts to understand the body of anxieties that
the Diaspora characterize diasporic cultural identity. With a focus on works by Bharati Mukherjee,

of home and exile, dislocation and nostalgia, memory and history, feature in the
literary-cultural structuration of diasporic experiences. We will undergird our readings
with samplings of cinematic texts (Mira Nair, Gurinder Chadha) and extracts from
postcolonial and diaspora theory (Homi Bhaba, Stuart Hall, Benedict Anderson).
