Yes, a suitable placement cell exists at DSE.A vast array of opportunities are available to DSE graduates. The analytical and quantitative abilities that our programmes emphasise are highly valued by major Indian and international companies, who frequently hire students directly from campuses. Student job placement is supported by the department's placement unit.

Many get accepted into prestigious PhD programmes abroad and go on to forge remarkable academic careers. The world's top institutions, such as Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, LSE, and Oxford, as well as international organisations like the World Bank, IMF, or Asian Development Bank, as well as higher levels of government, employ instructors from DSE.

Before CUET was introduced, taking economics after PCM was allowed and you would have had to face a 2.5 reduction in your percentage. The only requirement was that you had mathematics in class 11 and 12. However, now, there is a new criteria for BA Economics Honours. You need to appear for both Economics and Maths in CUET to get economics honours. Since students are not allowed to appear for subjects that they haven't appeared for in their board exams, you won't be able to give economics exam. 

    But, you don't need to lose hope, you can still do BA Program with a  combination of economics and any other subject of your liking and take economics as your major and the other subject as your minor. Under the New Education Policy, this will help you get Economics Honours certificate after 4 years. If you wish to complete your graduation after 3 years, you will get economics major certificate. The syllabus for BA Program economics and BA Hons Economics is almost the same so there won't be a large difference.
