Economics

Hi M.A in Economcs is a very good course to pursue and definitely has great career prospects. Every university has its own eligibility criteria and admission procedure. The best place to pursue M.A Economics is DU,CU,UPES, Bangalore University. In DU and CU many students apply for it so the cut off gets high and hence theres a lot of competition. While UPES conducts it own entrance exam. It has its selection criteria based on UPESEE entrance score followed by a personal Interview. So to be on safer side try to apply for all colleges. Yes, one more thing I would like to inform you, UPES MA Economics program is not simple program instead it gives you specialization in Energy Economics and this makes the whole program more unique and also opens the door for job opportunities in Energy Sector. So if you have interest in core field then this program is defintely good. This university is quite popular for petroleum & Energy related programs and provides good placement too.

Hi,
Both are different field and open different career prospects after graduation as well as post graduation.
If you are a commerce or economics graduate (viz. B.Com or BA (Economics) or B.Sc. (Economics) such as career in banking, starting career in acturial in insurance, pursuing MBA and starting career in teaching after masters and NET in respective field.
Except mentioned above, there are difference between economics and commerce
organisations like The Reserve Bank of India and other central banks, UN, IMF, World bank hires economics graduates, post graduates and doctoral degree in engineering. Such options are not open for commerce graduates unless they have qualifications like CA/ ICWA
Also, high paying jobs such as insurance under writer is open for an economics graduate compared to a commerce graduate
You need to decide what you want to do in future. Both have good options but economics have few very specialised role. if you aim for such specialisation, specific organisation in target and can make to a very good institute like Delhi school of Economics, London School of Economics
Decide your career path and opt either

Hi Dhruvansh,
B.Sc. in Economics has more mathematical and practical implication and is opened for students who have studied mathematics till 10+2 whereas B.A. in Economics more theoretical program and can be done without studying mathematics till 10+2.
The Bachelor of Business (Business Economics) focuses on teaching you the principles of economics and how to apply these principles to business situations.
Many key business decisions rely on a clear understanding of relevant economic concepts and principles, while business success depends heavily on timely and appropriate responses to changes in the economic environment in which a business operates.
Hope this helps. All the best.

Hello divya
B.A. degree is better if you are interested in getting a broad liberal arts education and in approaching the study of economics from the theoretical perspective. The B.A. gives you a comprehensive view of economics with a focus on theory instead of its applications to business and finance. The B.A. is also typically less mathematically rigorous, requiring courses in statistics rather than calculus. Nevertheless, most universities still require you to take one or more courses in mathematics to ensure that you have the proper tools to analyze data.
B.S. in Economics Benefits
A B.S. degree in economics is the better choice for you if you are interested in studying more real-world problems and/or pursuing graduate-level work. Depending on the university, the B.S. program might be focused on teaching applications of economic theory and solving real-world problems in business and finance. As a result, a B.S. in economics typically requires additional courses in mathematics beyond those required by the B.A. program. For example, the bachelor's degree program at the University of Texas at Dallas requires you to take one math course - statistical decision-making - while the B.S. program requires you to take three math courses - statistical decision-making and Calculus I and II.
Hope its help
Good luck
