It is a two-member department consisting of Dr. Rewant Vikram Singh (H.O.D, Assistant Professor of History) and Ms. Namrata Howal (Assistant Professor of History). The department teaches students as per the Choice Based Grading System (CBGS) of the three years graduate program of the University of Mumbai. At the third year, the students have the option to choose between a full major (six papers of History) or two part majors (three papers of History and three papers of any other subject of the Faculty of Arts).
