About the Department

Economics is a department which attracts students with a good academic record and a keen interest in the subject. In line with the NEP compliance, the department offers Economics Major and Minor at all levels- FYBA, SYBA and TYBA. Economics Major is offered only to those students who have secured good marks in economics or those who have a good overall percentage in the 12th standard. Economics Minor can be opted for by any student having fairly decent marks in the 12th standard. The course framework has been carefully designed with progressive levels of difficulty, promoting a logical and comprehensive learning journey.

The Department offers a well-structured and comprehensive curriculum designed to provide students with a strong foundation in economic theory, quantitative techniques, and applied economics. The syllabus encompasses core papers covering Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Mathematical Economics, Statistics, Econometrics, Development Economics, Public Policy Analysis, International Economics, Environmental Economics, Indian Economy, and other contemporary areas of economic study. The curriculum is periodically updated to ensure its relevance to emerging economic issues and analytical approaches, thereby equipping students with the knowledge and skills required for higher studies, research, and diverse professional careers. 

The department consists of three faculty members. The faculty members are always accessible and very helpful to the students. Rigorous efforts are made to develop critical thinking amongst students. Students are encouraged to actively participate in class and present their views and opinions. Various important economic issues are discussed in the class to keep the students abreast of recent changes. The faculty members provide reference lists to the students from time to time to improve and update their knowledge regarding economic issues. Students are motivated to read beyond the parameters of their syllabus. Efforts are undertaken by the faculty to train the students in various Quantitative tools and techniques in applied economics to enhance their knowledge. Students are encouraged and supported by the faculty to participate in various intercollegiate competitions. In the past, students have won prizes at various intercollegiate competitions like elocutions, paper presentations, and debates. Students are also encouraged to attend talks and public lectures by reputed speakers organised by other institutions. The students are also involved in organising extracurricular activities at the college level.
