The M.A. in Santhali is a 2-year postgraduate course designed to develop language expertise, critical analysis, and academic research skills in the Santhali language. The program dives deep into classical and modern literature, Santhali linguistics, tribal worldviews, and social transformations reflected through the lens of language.

Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree in any stream from a recognized university with at least 50% marks in aggregate. While preference is given to those who have studied Santhali or related disciplines at the undergraduate level, students from other academic backgrounds who demonstrate a keen interest in Santhali language, literature, or tribal studies are also encouraged to apply.
