Careers/Placements
International security environment has been rapidly deteriorating. Geopolitics is a multi-disciplinary area where the large concentration and focus would be to understand the changing international security environment with a geopolitical and geo-strategic focus. The emphasis of the Geopolitics programme would be on the geographical regions and the attempt would be to understand the various regions of the world with an Indian perspective. 

Geopolitics would provide a holistic understanding of both international and national security debate by drawing concepts and components from Economics, Political Science, International Relations, Foreign Policy and Science & Technology.

The demand in this field will be consistent. In fact, the supply so far has not been in commensurate with the demand. Job opportunities are immense:

• Defense and security experts in the research institutes/think tanks, both in India and abroad
• Strategic affairs editor in print and visual media
• Risk analysts in corporate institutions
• Indian Foreign Service through civil services examination
