What are the humanities courses that one should do at IIT Delhi?
Usually, two types of people opt for humanities courses. One prefers a laid-back schedule and easy grading while the other prefers challenging coursework and exciting lectures. My friend was kind to opt for a more lively course than spend his classes yawning away. He chose some courses like
- Mind, Machines, and Language
- Language and Communication
- Creative Writing
Another extremely learned professor taught him Science, Society, and Technology. No doubt the course was very rigorous and demanding, but my friend enjoyed the course anyways. There were deep discussions, readings, and assignments which sometimes seemed too hectic, yet the entire process was intriguing and exciting at the same time.
Another course my friend opted for was Moral Literacy and Moral Choices which taught him concepts of Philosophy that none knew about. The course was very interesting. He talked about various thinkers and their philosophical teachings which transformed the students into another world.
All the humanities courses offered at IIT Delhi are intriguing and the parity of professors cannot be doubted. Go for any course that sparks a ray of interest in you!

Is there any difference between arts and humanities?
The difference between Arts and Humanities is often seen with ambiguity. Arts is often considered an all-inclusive field. While disciplines from literature to political sciences are considered Humanities.
Contrary to this misconception, Arts cover the study of music, theater, literature, painting, sculpting, etc. While the study of philosophy, art, etc. is considered Humanities.
