Throughout the academic year, the department organizes various activities and events to broaden the students' perspectives.

Such events are designed to enrich the students' understanding of current political issues and trends, providing them with a comprehensive education that extends beyond the classroom.

The Department of Political Science at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar College strives to develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared to tackle the challenges of the modern political landscape. Since the students of the department are coming from different socio-economic backgrounds, some of the students suffer from discomfort and uneasiness, so the classroom environment, teaching method, etc, are concerned. Departmental teachers are very sensitive about such feelings and try to handle the less expressive students carefully. Most of the students are coming from Bengali-medium schools with poor writing, reading, and communicative skills in English. In order to motivate them and to make them habituated to the English language, teachers try to deliver class lectures through a bilingual medium. Remedial classes are arranged for the slow learners. Teachers are very careful to understand the weakness or the limitations of the slow learners and guide them to overcome their limitations towards the improvement of the result.
