The School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Liberal Arts (SoHSSLA) at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT), Sikkim Manipal University, is a multidisciplinary academic school that brings together diverse fields of study concerned with society, culture, commerce, human behaviour, and the human condition. Located at the SMIT campus in Majhitar, the School comprises the Departments of Commerce, English, Political Science, Sociology, and Psychology.
SoHSSLA offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral education across its constituent disciplines. The School is committed to providing students with strong disciplinary foundations while developing critical thinking, analytical abilities, communication skills, research aptitude, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Its academic programmes aim to prepare students for higher education, professional careers, and responsible participation in society.
The multidisciplinary structure of the School creates opportunities for students and faculty to engage across disciplinary boundaries and develop broader perspectives on contemporary social, cultural, economic, and human concerns. Teaching and learning are complemented by research, seminars, workshops, experiential learning, projects, and other academic and co-curricular activities that encourage intellectual curiosity and active engagement.
The School is committed to fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and student-centred academic environment in which knowledge is not confined to individual disciplines. Through innovative teaching-learning practices, interdisciplinary education and research, and engagement with the wider community, SoHSSLA seeks to contribute to the intellectual, social, cultural, and professional development of its students.
In keeping with the principles of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the School encourages multidisciplinary learning, experiential education, research, innovation, and holistic development. It seeks to nurture intellectually engaged, ethically grounded, and socially responsible individuals who can respond thoughtfully to the challenges of a rapidly changing world and contribute meaningfully to their communities, the nation, and the global society.
