Hey there!

Jawaharlal Nehru University doesn't provide BA hons. in Political Science.So, you must have been asking for MA Political Science Entrance or may be PhD.

Jawaharlal Nehru University Entrance Exams are definitely not easy because there is so much competition, with very less seat and questions are really conceptual. So, just by mugging up all theories you can't clear it.

In Jawaharlal Nehru University prospectus they have mentioned JNUEE MA Political Science Syllabus.

1.Social and Political Thought of Modern India

2.Concepts and Approaches in Political Theory

3.Political Processes and Public Policies in India

4.State and Politics in India

5.Comparative Government and Politics

6.International Relations

7. Western Political Thought

8.Public Administration

It is very important to read basic political science books for Masters entrance. You can refer books and sometimes student often prepare from IGNOU BA Political Science notes. Please refer to BA hons. Delhi University syllabus to understand every sub-topic of JNU entrance syllabus.

Western Political Thought by O.P. Gauba, Indian Polity by M. Laxmikant, Indian Political Thought by BR Mehta, Western Political Thought by Shefali Jha( you can refer either OP Gauba or Shefali Jha), Public administration by M. Laxmikant or Bidyut Chakraborty, Comparative Politics by J.C. Johari, International Relations by Andrew Heywood.

You can read some important topics from these books. Some of them are recommended by JNU professors and some of them are recommended by JNU students.

Hey there!

Yes. I will explain it to you.

Actually they will never ask you direct questions related to current affairs and static general knowledge but they ask to questions related to history and from History topics that are currently in news.

Example- Any current news related to a famous temple, any news related to archaeologists, etc.

So, for now focus on the syllabus of JNUEE MA History and give just 20 to 30 minutes to read latest news related to history.


JNUEE Syllabus for MA Ancient History/ Modern History/ Medieval History

1.General comprehension

2.A broad understanding of the social sciences and

3.Themes related to political, economic and social history and on aspects of religion and culture pertaining to Indian and World history for the ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary periods.
