Which course is better: B. Commerce Hons or BA Economics Hons from DU?

Divjot Bagga

The answer to this question will rely on your future goals, what you compassionately dream of doing, and what you believe you will truly like. However, Economics Honors from DU is one of the best courses with exceptional scope and value in the corporate world. Everyone is aware that the University of Delhi's most prestigious course is Economics Hons. Rapidly rising cutoffs provide proof of this.

Additionally, compared to other courses, it offers higher placement prospects. Nevertheless, immense power entails great responsibility. It's not the kind of subject you can get by with just one night of studying. It necessitates commitment and diligence. Additionally, it is the most challenging course the university offers. So, BA Economics is the best option for anyone who is keenly interested in the subject.

BA Economics(Hons) is DU's most difficult yet prestigious course. As a result, if you are in the unreserved category, you will need a higher percentage. Try to get a score of 90% or higher to get into DU, and 95% or higher to get into DU's good colleges. In the end, it all comes down to your score.

Is it worth doing a BA in economics honors from an average college of DU?

Pragya Agrawal

10 Oct 22

Many people believe that college isn't necessary for success in life. No, it does not. But those people are simply not telling the whole story. The amount of struggle you will face without a college degree is 20 times greater than what you will face with a good college degree. Working hard today will make your life easier tomorrow.

Any average college isn't worth it unless you're in dire financial need or your family's mental state is unbearable. The hype surrounding DU is unreal. All of those 52 lakh eco packages are overpriced. 5 people out of lakhs may get it; the rest must compete for a 5 lakh job.

You should never accept anything less than what you deserve. You can apply for Jamia to enter. You may apply for abroad studies. You can get a fellowship and take a year off. Do whatever it takes to stand out from the crowd and make a better career for yourself.

Which is better for a B.A. hons in economics Ramjas College or Kirori Mal College?

Aditya Shukla

Most DU institutions are on a similar footing. But Ramjas is regarded to be superior in most areas. Apart from similar academics to KMC, Ramjas College has one of the best cultural events. Its focus is on the holistic development of students.

With time, the value of these colleges is diminishing as cut-offs are getting competitive, and the quality of students is spreading more evenly. However, Ramjas is the best if you want to challenge yourself.

How is Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce for BA Economics (Honours)?

Preeti Singh

26 Nov 21

BA Economics Honours in Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce is not a UGC recognized degree.

In your 1st year if you score a 60% in all the subjects, then only you are offered an Honours degree in the 2nd year.

Economics, unlike other subjects, is very much in demand, so you can expect a lot of competition. The faculty members of this department are also well experienced. You will get to familiarize yourself with the course structure. Overall the college provides a peaceful environment.

Though keep in mind that the Honours degree is provided by the college but the main degree is given by SPPU. Nothe that before registration.

If you are pursuing an MA in Economics from IGNOU, then make the best use of your study material. To score well in economics, you need to develop a deep understanding of economic theories, developments in the field, and applied math. You also need to stay updated in the field of economics.

Economic blogs like Economist’s View or Grasping Reality
Economic books like Freakonomics, The Naked Economist, and The Armchair Economist.

Listed below are some additional tips that will help you score good marks in MA Economics in IGNOU:

Browse your library’s economic section

Which is better, ISBF Delhi or NMIMS Mumbai for economics honours?

Ritesh Kumar

23 Feb 23

Both the colleges ISBF Delhi and NMIMS Mumbai offer a decent Economic Honors program. I have drawn a detailed comparison between the two on the basis of the following parameters

Worth of the Degree: NMIMS might be a reputed college but its degree cannot be compared to that of ISBF which offers a University of London degree in addition to academic assistance from London School of Economics and Political Science, the top-ranked institute in Economics.

Curriculum: Economics is vast and covers a very broad spectrum of subjects from development and finance to international trade. Now the University of London excellently allows the students to choose 6 electives of their choice in addition to 6 compulsory subjects. This ensures that the students get a job in the sector they are passionate about. This flexibility of curriculum lacks on the part of NMIMS.

Prospects: A DU student applying to top institutions in the UK for a master, is required to complete a diploma year before starting with his master's. This aims to compensate for the difference in the standard of education. However, anyone with a University of London degree can directly apply for a Master in top universities in the UK.

Batch size: The batch size at ISBF is relatively smaller than that of NMIMS. This aids in better student-teacher interaction and class discussions. This in turn helps in better delivery of the curriculum.

So in almost all aspects, ISBF is a better choice than NMIMS.

How is the BA economics course at St. Xavier's University, Kolkata? What is the cutt-off for candidates who took commerce stream in 12? Is Mathematics subject compulsory for admissions?

Rishabh Chandel

09 Jun 21

If you are considering pursuing a degree in Economics, it is recommended that you do not prioritize Xavier's Kolkata.

You'd be better off starting at one of the top ten colleges in Delhi or one of the top five in Mumbai.
Kolkata lacks the atmosphere and opportunities that economics graduates require both during and after graduation.
In contrast, Delhi has a great environment (coaching and guidance for higher studies in eco) and opportunities (training and internships) for eco graduates.
The Finance Industry in Mumbai will be very helpful (and much needed) in obtaining internships, part-time jobs, or any other type of practical training.
Calcutta is devoid of all of these.
Also, Mathematics is mandatory in order to be admitted to B.A. (Eco) at St. Xavier's Kolkata.

If you are not applying through any quotas (such as Christian, SC/ST, or from schools affiliated with Xavier's), you will need at least 96 percent in class 12th. Despite the fact that it appears in subsequent lists, it goes down by 1%–2%.

How good is Loyola College Chennai for economics?

Rudrani Sengupta

04 Oct 21

The answer to this question depends on what you want to do. I have a few friends from Loyola College, Chennai, and here is what they have to say about the institute.

Loyola has really good professors and a vast library with huge collections of books.
It also has a digital library and conducts national-level symposiums. The placement office is amazing and a lot of different companies from diversified fields come to the campus. In the last placement drive, the highest CTC offered was 5 LPA.
Loyola has a policy of 80% attendance. It also has a compulsory club of 60 hours during the first year and there are a lot of options to choose from – NCC, NSS, FOP, Loyola dream team, AICUF, Rotaract, Radio, LPA, Debate Club, etc.

Even after all of this, certain students have arrear and do not like to study. They just want to enjoy themselves and do not enroll in any club, do not use the library at all.

Overall, the college is good but it is up to you to make the most of your time there.
