Ph.D. Programme
in Economics
Embracing the vision of National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, the Department of Economics, Royal Global University (RGU) is geared up to create a research environment for the faculty members and the students to meet the challenges of fast changing economic dynamics of our nation. At present there are three experienced full-fledged Ph.D guides in the Department to assist and facilitate meaningful empirical research. The department has also engaged a few co-guides from other universities such as Gauhati University and Alliance University, Bangalore. A few more co-guides are likely to be added soon as our Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with various colleges of the state takes a practical shape. As regards research areas emphasis is given to concentrate on non-theoretical issues that can enhance our understanding about the economies of Assam, North-East as well as India as a whole.
The department is ardently focusing on emerging issues as well as to have a fresh look on studies that appears to be failing to answer new questions that have been thrown up by the evolving economic landscape. The department specializes on international trade, finance, agriculture, micro, small and medium enterprises, physical and social infrastructure, state, and union government sponsored welfare-oriented schemes etc. and to help the government to formulate policies along with issues already under study. The tools and methodologies followed include both traditional and emerging methods that rely extensively on using computer software and computer languages. Efforts will be made to upgrade both the faculties and researchers in this regard.

In particular, RGU doctoral programme aims to train the researchers who extend the boundaries of current knowledge and are also able to create new knowledge, are adept in the use of traditional methodologies and latest tools and build on these to develop new techniques to answer questions that transcend disciplinary boundaries, can communicate clearly and effectively to the expert and the public at large the insights gleaned from the research, can apply the skills and knowledge in practical contexts.
RGU aspires to be recognized for the quality and impact of its research output on the current state of knowledge. Towards this goal, it will strive to provide an environment where cutting-edge research is done by a community of scholars where the focus is placed on conceptual clarity and the utilization and development of new methodologies that are employed not only to illuminate the issue under study but also in a wide range of contexts. Ph.D. scholars will work, through collaborations and joint projects, on real-world issues in close association with outside organizations/industries and apply appropriate and innovative methodologies to address their problems.
The structure of the Ph.D. programme includes a mandatory coursework and candidates are encouraged to take up a wide variety of courses to cultivate a cross-disciplinary outlook. The topic of research is expected to be inter-disciplinary with emphasis on practical impact that is inspired by real world problems or sponsored by industry. The output is expected to address a gap or add something new to the existing corpus of literature. A Ph.D. scholar is not only preparing to be a researcher but also a teacher as teaching is integral to effective learning.
With the spirit of liberal inquiry governing every aspect of academic life, accomplished faculty, emphasis on work-life balance, a close and supportive environment, and access to world-class facilities, being a research scholar at RGU will be an enriching, and productive experience.
