According to the reviews online, Ramjas College has the best Economics Department. It has well experienced and respected faculties who will put their complete focus on your learning and has contributed a tremendous amount of research work in the field of Economics.
Also it is the only economics department which holds a prestigious international economics conference called SAESM which provides students with a lot of exposure. Will definitely recommend you to take admission at Ramjas. You won't regret it.
Ramjas ranks above KMC. As far as the environment is concerned, whichever college you get admission in, you will get the similar feel, being in the North Campus.
Your preference order should be Kirori Mal>Ramjas>IP>Daulat Ram.
One of my friends studied at Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC). It is considered to be one of the best commerce colleges of Delhi University.
Their Economics department shares more or less the similar kind of attention as the commerce department. The college is also renowned for its student crowd, which is said to be the best in the university at par with Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC).
Unlike the other commerce departments, placements of the Economics department is comparatively less. But it is gradually getting better with more exposure. Students here mostly study and learn on their own rather than depending on the faculty. So, you have to keep these points in mind before getting admission here.
Among the colleges mentioned, Loreto is definitely the better choice. It has been consistent with its academic excellence and discipline. The Economics department of the college is one of the best with excellent faculty. Also, Loreto has witnessed university toppers from this department before. If you are getting Loreto, you should go for it.
ISI Delhi is a better option as it is far better than ISI Kolkata for MS. Saint Xavier’s College, Kolkata is also a very good college along with Saint Xaviers, Mumbai.
If faculty profiles, cost structure, placements with a package ranging around 7 to 9 lakhs, alumni, and acceptance rate are considered, here’s a list of all those universities which offer you all of the above mentioned.
The school of economics does not offer an MS in economics. IGIDR offers a Master of Science but not a master of research which is offered by the most reputed IITM in Financial Economics.
I think the PGP course is a better option if you are interested in Finance and Economics. This is because the ABM program offers the choice of only one option during the second year. The electives of the first year of both the programs ABM and PGP are the same. They comprise important topics like Micro and Macroeconomics, Financial Reporting and Accounting, Managerial Accounting, and Financial Management.
Most importantly you will be missing out on Finance and Economics courses. Some ABM students are diligent enough to sit through these classes despite everything.
There are no major differences in the placement scenario of ABM and PGP. Though I will recommend you go for the PGP program of a more reputed institute. Through ABM you will have to resort to self-learning more.
One of my cousins has a long list of recommendations since he is about to pursue the same. Here is a list of all the recommended books you can try opting from to help prepare for the DSE/ISI/JNU entrance examinations.
Apart from these, you should know the basic curriculum of the B.A Economics.
If you are willing to apply for Economics (Hons.) at Bethune College, then you require at least a minimum of 88% marks. The index marks of Economics are calculated in a different way, so it is suggested to check the official college website for it.
If you are good at Mathematics, it is quite easy to get into colleges like Scottish Church College or Bethune College. If you have a mark of above 85% in Mathematics and English, it will be easier for you to get into a good college for B.Sc Economics Honours.
As one of my friends studied in Loreto College Kolkata, let me share some facts about it:
If you want to pursue Economics, Loreto College will not disappoint you.
OP Jindal and Ashoka University both offer decent bachelor's programs in Economics. But the syllabus and education approach of the programs are quite different.
Overall, OP Jindal will be a better option for pursuing a UG degree in Economics.
