The Department of Liberal Arts was initiated with the philosophy of imbibing interdisciplinary research and teaching for students at IIT Bhilai. The department offers varied subjects in English literature, Economics and Psychology at the undergraduate level to B.Tech students of the institute. The department runs its own PhD program in these three disciplines as well.
The department boasts of a young and talented faculty team who have international and national collaborations. Faculty in the department attract generous funding from various funding bodies and engage research/project associates in these investigations.
