Admission Requirements for Economics (Hons) for PCM Backgrounders

Definitely, Economics (Hons) admission is possible in case of a Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics background in the higher secondary.

 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.

The university policies: Check the specific admission policy of the different universities you are interested in because it can vary from one institution to another. Many prefer commerce and humanities backgrounds, but admission is also available for most of them based on PCM.

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.

The choice of going to IITs and IIMs would depend on the type of goals and focus area your research is targeting to go for a Ph.D. in Economics:

1. IITs- Indian Institutes of Technology They mainly have technical and engineering-centric disciplines but also strong, high-quality Ph.D. programs in Economics, especially under the Humanities and Social Sciences departments. IITs like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi are interdisciplinary, bringing together economics in combination with quantitative techniques and computational ones. With an interest in applied economics, a focus of econometrics, or data analysis work, IITs provide all that with the research-intensive environment, with technology being an added impetus supported by innovation Institutes of Management): IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta will have specialised Ph.D.s in Economics, which include departments for economics and business policy.
