Dear K. Bharti, it is not necessary to have economics as your subject at graduation to take admission in M.A. economics. All the colleges have different Eligibility Criteria for admission. Some colleges take admission on the basis of marks in graduation degree or entrance exam conduct by the college Or on the basis of both. And there are some private colleges in Delhi/ncr who take admission on the basis of entrance exam and I know about Manav Rachna, they allow admission on the basis of both.
