| The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences has set its roots in the year 1986.The department comprises of various disciplines namely, Communication Skills, Engineering Economics, Dynamics of Behavioral Science in Industry, Principles of Management, Interpersonal Relationship, Marketing, Finance and Human Resource Management. To provide a feather bed to it, keeping administrative purpose in mind this department was clubbed with Applied Sciences and was known as Department of Applied Science and Humanities. MBA program was incorporated in the academic curriculum of NIT Hamirpur and the incipient programme offered its first academic session in 2009 as a self financed program under the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences. The Department is offering a full time 2 year MBA Program with an yearly intake of 30 students with engineering background, the program is divided into a four-semester residential regular program. The course structure is designed to impart knowledge of the core management concepts and techniques in the first year and focuses on specialization and specific areas, as opted by the students in the final year. Specializations offered include Finance, Marketing and Human Resources. The yearly intake of students is likely to be increased to 35 (30 + 5 seats reserved for the sponsored candidates by the government / private / industry of India). The department has well qualified faculty members who have developed infrastructure of high quality to cater to the needs of various management and engineering streams and the students have successfully completed a number of sponsored research projects and continue to take up new challenges with zeal and passion. The department is also actively engaged in organizing various national seminars, conferences and contributions to the humanitarian side through different channels. Still another feather in its cap is well equipped business communication laboratory that has become instrumental in the nourishment of the students and has been contributing a lot for the overall development of the institute since its inception. With the advent of new paradigms in business activities and academics, we are continually redefining strategies and focusing on the new dimensions for development and planning. While retaining and building on the current strengths and assets, the focus is to create new relationships and synergies. The department has already initiated specific actions to bring an increasingly global perspective to present activities. The objective of pedagogy adopted for MBA is to ensure that students internalize the traits of honesty, integrity, diligence, punctuality and sanctity of deadlines. The course enables a student to redefine logic, foster out of the box thinking, develop discipline, and the confidence, apart from expertise in their functional domain.
