About Department

School of Creative Practice and Entrepreneurship (SCoPE): The problems of today’s world are multifaceted and require insights from diverse areas of expertise. The design solutions to these problems, therefore, emerge out of and are nurtured in multi-dimensional contexts. In line with the NEP 2020 framework, the School of Creative Practices and Entrepreneurship (SCoPE) was established in January 2022 to make these contexts stand out through interdisciplinary teaching and research. As a hub of academicians and scholars from diverse liberal arts disciplines and practices, such as creative arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences and entrepreneurship, SCoPE will offer an exciting range of courses. SCoPE would also foster a research ecosystem by promoting collaborations at the interface between various disciplines by bringing together researchers from the University and beyond. Thus, SCoPE intends to enhance context awareness by inculcating interdisciplinary knowledge, research aptitude, multipronged problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
