"You have not mentioned if you are asking for graduation level or post graduation level courses in Economics. If you've just completed your 12th then you can go for BA in Economics followed by MA in the same field. For graduation you can apply directly in different Colleges offering courses in Economics but for PG i.e MA in Economics you will have to give entrance exams to get a seat in reputed colleges.

These jobs give you social prestige along with financial stability.
