Which college is better for BA (hons) in economics Zakir Husain, Rajdhani or PGDAV?
For BA (Hons) in Economics, PGDAV is the best option among these, in terms of academics, student crowd, infrastructure, placements, and extracurriculars. The Economics department of PGDAV boasts of a dedicated faculty pool. The environment on campus is competitive and inspires motivation. It has a decent placement record. According to the recent highlights of PGDAV placements, the median CTC offered is around INR 3.30 LPA.
Is economics honors a better option or IPM offered at IIM Indore?
Firstly Economics Honours required an in-depth study of Economics whereas the IPM program focuses on the many areas of Management. There is a drastic difference between the nature of both courses. No doubt Economics knowledge is beneficial for the IPM program but is not necessarily important. In IPM, Economics is just a 4 credit course in a term of about 30 credits.
IPM hugely emphasizes Quants over Economics. So if you are more interested in Economics, then IPM is not for you. Your choice should be a good college from DU North Campus. If you manage to get into one then pursuing Economic Honors is a much-preferred option over IPM. Don’t choose a below-average college for Economic Honors. In that case, go for IPM only.
Which college is better for economics hons., Maitreyi or Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma?
Maitreyi College offers a better Economics (Hons) program compared to Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma. It offers better student crowd, better placement opportunities, and better student societies. So, your first preference should be Maitreyi. During 2020 placements, Maitreyi DU offered an average CTC of INR 3.5 LPA.
There’s only one drawback, Maitreyi is a girl's college whereas, ARSD is co-ed.
What is PGDAV College like for a BA Hons in economics?
PGDAV College is a co-educational institution. It is known for its excellence in academics, sports and other extracurricular activities.
It provides better educational and placement opportunities. As a college the environment is perfect for learning. They also have the best faculty. Commerce and Economics faculties are huge compared to the others. They include more than 30 professors.
They have a clean and well maintained canteen, which provides affordable and hygienic foods to the students.

Which is better: H.B.Econ. from SRCC or IPM from IIM Indore?
SRCC is an established and well-known institution affiliated with the University of Delhi. The institution has a pretty good faculty and the curriculum being taught there is also considered to be of high standards. If you are planning to prepare a solid CV for your career, I would suggest that you opt for a course of your interest at SRCC.
These are just some views I gathered by interacting with students of these institutes.
- The curriculum followed at IPM has been mocked by several candidates because of its diversity. It does not include specific topics for a particular specialization.
- However, for the batch of 2016-21, a new curriculum has been introduced by the authorities which is more focussed on areas like Economics, Quantitative aptitude, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology.
- These areas are also considered to be the 5 pillars of management at the PGDM level by many individuals working in the field of business and management.
- The placement of the institution is also quite good with the average package approximately equal to the amount which usually gets offered to candidates studying at the Postgraduate level.
| Categories | Economics (Hons.) at SRCC | IPM at IIM Indore |
| Course Fee | 45,000 | 26 lakh |
| Course Duration | 3 years | 5 years |
| Highest CTC | 25 LPA | 28 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 15-18 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Amazon, etc. | ICICI Bank, American Express, Mindtree, HCL, etc. |
My brother was eligible for admission at SRCC but instead, he opted for IPM because it was favoring his interests, environment, and several other factors. You can too make a decision based on your interests and several other factors which you think are important for your career.
