Admission Requirements for Economics (Hons) for PCM Backgrounders

 This is because most universities and colleges do not make admissions dependent on the high school stream. Most often, they consider the overall performance and entrance scores.

Eligibility criteria: Most of the institutions prefer a minimum of some percentage in the 12th public examinations. Some institution may choose to consider other entrance exams or interviews.

This subject doesn't need to be studied during the 11th and 12th grade. Background economics is always a big bonus for insight regarding dynamic, financial management, economic principles, helping and creating favourable conditions of operation; still, this is not needed because entrepreneurship can be carried by almost everybody even out from the economics curriculum itself - most people who were very good at managing businesses learned in either sciences, art, commerce streams. What is important for entrepreneurship includes a good understanding of your chosen industry, creativity and problem-solving, and your ability to adapt to conditions in the market. And, ultimately, practical experience, networking, and learning are often more important than specific academic subjects.
