The Excellence in Arts Programme (EXAP) is one of the flagship programmes of Sophia College (Autonomous). It runs parallel to the core B.A. programme and promotes academic excellence and integrity in students who are selected to be part of it. It provides students opportunities to conduct research, write and present papers, and defend their work. Their performance is reviewed continuously by both faculty members as well as peers. Rank-holders are awarded prizes by the K. C. Mahindra Foundation.
