Hi,
The eligibility criteria varies from college to college. The basic criteria for pursuing M.A Economics is having a graduation degree in any stream.
However, many of the reputed universities demand graduation degree with Honors in Economics or Economics as one of the subjects studied in graduation from any of the recognized college/university.
Some even ask for a minimum of 45-50% marks in graduation as qualifying criteria to secure admission in this course and some also conduct an entrance examination.
*It is advisable that you clear your backlogs first and then proceed further.
Feel free to discuss further.

I Agree. IGNOU is the world's largest University as far as students strength is concerned. ofcourse the standard is not very good. But a lot also depends on teh student. If you need a degree for your career growth, go to IGNOU. If you wish to start your career based on the degree, go for a full time course from a good college or University. Distance education is not a good choice if you have to start your career based on that degree.
Hope that helps
