B.A. Sanskrit is a 3-year UG degree that offers structured training in Sanskrit language proficiency and the study of classical Indian texts. The curriculum typically includes Sanskrit grammar (Vyakarana), prose and poetry (Gadya-Padya), drama, literary theory (Alankara Shastra), prosody (Chandas), and philosophical systems (Darshana), along with translation and textual analysis. Many universities also introduce manuscriptology basics and Indian knowledge systems through electives and skill-based papers. Alongside core Sanskrit papers, students usually study general electives/discipline electives and ability enhancement courses as per the university’s UG framework. The programme develops strong comprehension, interpretation, and academic writing abilities, helping students engage with primary sources in areas like literature, philosophy, history, and religion. Graduates can pursue higher studies such as M.A. Sanskrit, Acharya programmes, or research (M.Phil./Ph.D. where applicable), and explore careers in teaching, publishing, translation, library and archival support, cultural organisations, and government or academic projects linked to Indian languages and heritage.
