Is there any way except merit based to study Economics Honours anyway??

Dear Madam/Sir

Dear Sir,
I want to do integrated economics course after 12 from IIt.
Where and how, Pl advice,
Swati,Bhubaneswar

hi, i am surya srivastava.. i am in class 12th in commerce stream and have opted for hindi as my 6th subject (ISC)
i have queries regarding admission in top colleges of DU.. (LSR, SRCC, MIRANDA HOUSE, St. Stephens)
1. will i be elligible for admission in Eco hons., or Eng hons. or B.Com hons. with hindi as my 6sub.?
2. what is the procedure for applying and the last date for applying.?

Thank you for your encouragement. Yes, after a year I had realised that Engineering was not my cup of tea and that my passion was in Economics. I had taken Science in XI and XII.
Yeah there is no entrance for UG courses at DU. But I read about a BA(H) in Business Economics at select colleges under the DU; that has an entrance test. Is that a good way to get into economics?? My long term ambition is to do MA at Delhi School of Economics. Then there is an entrance test for BSc Economics at Presidency College Kolkata, but there one cannot write the test after a gap of 1 year commencing the XIIth board. The reason I am checking for entrances for BA Economics is because my percentage in XII is only 80%, which won't get me Economics Hons at DU.
I am also thinking of trying for the B.Stat program at ISI, Kolkata. Because I was thinking Statistics is an alternative route to do Masters in Economics. And ISI is a world renown institute, but very hard to get into.

What other advice and suggestion do you have for me.

Thanking You

hello dear
Here are some colleges offering Eco (Hons) with entrance exam as intake mode, outside the Delhi System.

University of Hyderabad (UoH) has a five year Integrated MA program. This course is offered by the School of Social Sciences which has the departments of - Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, History and Political Science. During the first three years one has to take courses from all the 5 departments. After which one specialises into one of the departments. Admission is based on an entrance test of 75 marks + interview of 25 marks. This course was started in 2007-08. UoH is a PG university and had been offering MA, M.Phil and PhD in Economics.

University of Pondicherry is offering a 5 year integrated course in MSc. Economics. I think compared to traditional MA courses this would have a stronger Math and Statistics content. I am not sure exactly when this course was started, but it seems perhaps last year or the year before that. Admission is based on an entrance test of 100 marks. University of Pondicherry is a PG University and has been offering MA (in Applied Economics), M.Phil and PhD in Economics. http://www.pondiuni.edu.in/dept_pages/dept_economic.htm

Then there is Benaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi which offers BA (Hons) Economics. It offers Economics with a combination of two other subjects. Check the details at their website. http://www.bhu.ac.in/education/undergraduate.html
But I think the time for applying is over for BHU.

At Kolkata there is the Presidency College which offer BSc. in Economics.
Also in Kolkata is the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) which offers a 3 year course called B.Stat. It is very reputed and much more rigorous than traditional BSc.Statistics programs. This course is for those who have a natural flair for Maths and Statistics. One of the possible specialisation in Statistics is Econometrics. Though I must say, this is not everyone's cup of tea.

Then in Pune, the Symbiosis University, under the newly founded Symbiosis School of Economics has started a BSc. Economics course two years back in 2008. So I must it say the institution is new. This year they are planning to start an MSc. program.

If you have changed your mind about Delhi, then you can check out Delhi University's Bachelor in Business Economics (BBE) program. Of what I have understood it is Economics with a more corporate orientation. After which one could go for Masters in Business Economics (MBE), MBA, MA in Economics etc. Admission to BBE program is through an entrance exam.
Also in Delhi, Jamia Islamia University (JMU) also offers BA (Hons) in Economics. Admission is based on entrance exam and marks in XII.

Regarding University of Bangalore, I think you must check out the individual colleges and apply accordingly. Colleges like St.Joseph have already started accepting applications. Even Christ college has also started, but it doesn't come under Bangalore University.

Then there is the new Central University of Karnataka (formed in 2009). It offers an integrated MA in Economics, with an option of exits after 3 years with awarding of BA (Hons) degree. Admission is based on an entrance test. http://www.cuk.ac.in/website1.1/Eligibility.html

If you are interested in Foreign Degrees, (which I don't think are recognised by UGC) then there are institutes like the Indian School of Business and Finance, ITM International . Which offers BSc. degrees in Economics, from the University of London in collaboration with the London School of Economics. Though do double check such institutions if you're planning to apply for them.

Best Wishes
thank you

DEAR FRIEND

Well under Delhi University (DU), of what I know there are 35 colleges offering BA(Hons) Economics [ 35 includes Women Colleges & Evening Colleges]. I don't think all of them insist on Maths as a pre-requisite. You can get the list of colleges from DU's last years cut-offs http://www.delhieducation.net/Univer...U/Cut-Off.aspx . Go to each college's website and check out what Eligibility requirements they state.

And if you don't manage to get into DU for BA, don't get disheartened. Its okay to do BA from other Universities. Where you do your MA is more important. And above all what is most important is your own hard work. To give an example, one of India's top Economist at the government level is Dr.Suresh Tendulkar . He did B.Com for graduation. Then did MA at Delhi School of Economics and went on to do his PhD at Harvard.

So, where there is a will there is a way.

By the way, what is your name? And in which year of Engineering are you? What is your branch? And in which college are you? Or have you already dropped out of Engineering? If you want, you can email me directly at [email protected] , I think that would be more faster, as it takes about 2 days for a post to be put up here.

You can also try out for BA at other places such as Jamia Millia Islamia Univeristy, Banaras Hindu University, etc.
Some new institutes offering graduation in Economics are Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD), Symbiosis School of Economics (it offers BSc.), etc. But do check these Universities for their UGC recognition and other details before considering them.

If you are interested in Integrated programs, then there is University of Hyderabad (it offers a 5 year Integrated MA course) and University of Pondicherry ( it offers an 5 year Integrated MSc. course).

all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i want to study eco hons. orc pol. sc. hons. through DU but i have not opted for maths in class 12th(comm.). please pgiove me the necessary information and suggest other commerce careers as soon as possible. also i got 94.75% in top four subjects.
