Yo, Dr. Ambedkar wasn’t just smart — man was built different academically. Dude legit racked up 32 degrees, diplomas, and honorary titles in his lifetime. That’s not a typo. Thirty-two. Let’s run it down:

🧠 Degrees He Actually Studied For (Real Ones, Not Just Honorary Stuff):

1. B.A. in Economics & Political Science – Bombay University (1912)
   ↳ Started from India, OG Elphinstone College grind.

2. M.A. in Economics – Columbia University (1915)
   ↳ Man landed in New York and straight up flexed on macroeconomics.

3. Ph.D. in Economics – Columbia again (1927)
   ↳ Dissertation was 🔥: “The Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India.”

4. M.Sc. in Economics – London School of Econ (LSE, 1921-ish)
   ↳ This was halfway to his D.Sc. Basically a pitstop.

5. D.Sc. in Economics – LSE (1923)
   ↳ Yeah, TWO doctorates. This one was on currency issues: “The Problem of the Rupee.” Still relevant tbh.

6. Barrister-at-Law – Gray’s Inn, London (1922)
   ↳ Dude was a lawyer too. Said “lemme learn the law so I can rewrite it.”

7. LL.D. (Doctor of Laws) – Columbia University again (Honorary, 1952)
   ↳ Columbia was like “Bro, take this too. You earned it.”

📘 Other Stuff He Studied or Got Certified In:

• Diplomas in French and Sanskrit (just ‘cause he could 😮‍💨)

• Studied political science, sociology, anthropology, history, and law

• Lowkey a polyglot, highkey a walking encyclopedia

🏅 Honorary Doctorates & Global Props:

• Over 25 honorary degrees from Indian and foreign universities

• Places like Osmania, Baroda, Columbia, and others were basically like “We respect the grind.”

• Recognized for his work in economics, law, social reform, and human rights

💯 TL;DR

Dude didn’t just pass exams — he redefined what academic flex means. While he personally earned about 7 to 10 of those degrees the hard way, the total count of all qualifications, diplomas, and honorary degrees hits 32.

Ambedkar didn’t just go to school — he made school go to him. 📚🔥
