There are a number of reasons why IITs are teaching HSS courses.

First, these courses can help students to develop their understanding of the world around them and to become more well-rounded individuals.

.

Second, HSS courses can help students to develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are essential for success in today’s world.

.

Third, HSS courses can help students to develop their communication skills, which are important for both personal and professional success.

Many IITs are teaching Humanities & Social Science papers (HSS) on their campus. It consists of all papers from pure Social science papers.

The list is the following such as

•  Philosophy,

• Economics,

•  English,

• Psychology,

• Sociology,

• Intellectual Property Rights

• Fine Arts etc.

As per your child’s demand, you can give him the freedom to choose education according to their interest. In this case, except for Engineering & Medical above papers provide better opportunities through the IIT campus.

There is generally a need for a Master’s Degree for admission in Doctoral Programme at IITs. It means that at age of 23 or 24 years (15 yr + 2 yr + 3yr +2 yr = 23 years) you can take admission in IITs.

Normally IITs provide Rs. 25,000 for Ist & 2nd year and Rs. 28,000 for 3rd & 4th year on monthly basis as stipend money.

Another facility such as Hostel with canteen, Travelling Allowances for attending national & international Seminars, Health facility, etc. Here I have mentioned the name of IIT, Course Name, Eligibility & Notification month in every year.
