Admission & Selection

Admission & Selection

The B.A. (Hons.) Economics programme aims at developing among students a sound theoretical understanding of the subject along with practical applications. The idea is to encourage broad-based understanding with greater depth in areas of particular interest to students. Studying economics today opens several possibilities for the future, and the idea is to guide students select their own trajectory in career advancement. For instance, graduates typically will be suited for investment banks, asset management firms, management consultancy firms, banking and financial services, trading desks, tax and advisory firms, economic consultancy firms and policy think tanks.
