Sports Science is a largely untapped domain in Indian academia, and the country has a massive need for sports science professionals. The School of Sports Sciences aims to promote innovation and provide the technical support required by budding and high-potential athletes.

The course offers a practical, scientific approach — focusing on the assessment and monitoring of athlete performance and on scientific interventions to enhance it. The curriculum is structured to foster innovative learning, professional competency and aptitude, and is designed to maximise career opportunities, with a vision to develop an internationally recognised curriculum in collaboration with global institutes and experts.

Sports Management is a rapidly emerging and highly dynamic field, driven by the growing commercialisation, professionalisation and global integration of sport. With the expansion of leagues, events, academies, fitness industries and organisations, demand for skilled professionals is rising sharply.

The Department aims to develop competent professionals capable of planning, organising, managing and promoting sports activities, events and organisations at national and international levels — by providing a strong foundation in administration, marketing, finance, event management, governance and human resources. Industry-oriented learning through case studies, fieldwork, internships and live-event exposure prepares students for careers across federations, clubs, leagues, academies, marketing agencies and sports media.

The Bachelor of Sports Journalism is a specialised undergraduate programme designed for the rapidly growing field of sports media and communication. It develops professional skills in sports reporting, broadcasting, digital journalism, writing, photography, anchoring and media production.

With the rising popularity of sport and digital platforms, demand for qualified sports-media professionals is growing across television, print, radio, online portals and sports organisations. The course balances theory with practical exposure — news reporting, commentary, content creation, interviewing, media ethics, event coverage and digital storytelling — and provides hands-on experience through internships, live coverage, workshops and interaction with media experts, aiming to develop globally competent sports journalists.

The Diploma in Sports Coaching is a one-year professional programme designed to develop skilled, competent coaches capable of training athletes from grassroots to elite level. It provides a strong foundation in coaching principles, sports science, and sport-specific technical and tactical skills, while promoting ethical, athlete-centred practice.

Classroom instruction is combined with extensive practical training in training methods, exercise physiology, sports psychology, biomechanics, nutrition, injury prevention, fitness assessment, talent identification, performance analysis, mental conditioning and competition management — reinforced through internships, coaching camps and field exposure.

For 2026-27, the Diploma is offered in nine disciplines — Badminton, Hockey, Taekwondo, Karate, Basketball, Swimming, Ice Sports, Boxing and Football — subject to availability of 20 applicants in each. Additional disciplines will be introduced based on infrastructure, faculty and demand.
