Where should one pursue economics, Jadavpur University or Lady Brabourne College?
My sister studied economics at Lady Brabourne College for 3 years and from that experience, she came to realize that Jadavpur University would've been the better option.
The subjects taught at Lady Brabourne College were very hectic and lengthy answers were asked in exams and even then you will be given low marks.
Whereas in Jadavpur university, the faculty number is vast and they are all very well read and experts in their fields. Amartya Sen is one of the JU professors. You will find that the semesters are well spaced too so that even if you study all year long, it won't feel like a burden. Economics has not only a very advanced syllabus but also a very brilliant faculty who focus on the development of students and remain unaffected by university politics.
One thing is for sure, that as a JU student you will not require tuition fees because the faculty will always be ready to solve all your doubts and answer each query.

Compared to Daulat Ram College and Indraprastha College, Kamala Nehru College is a better option for pursuing an Economics honors degree. It is way better than IP. It is also more reputed than the others. However, you should do your own research on the institutes, by talking to the current students.
I have taken an admission at Shaheed Bhagat Singh College for an Economics (Hons). Further, if I get KMC or Ramjas, should I give up SBSC for any of these north campus colleges?
Choose KMC or Ramjas college over SBSC because these are better options. When it comes to academics KMC and Ramjas are definitely better than SBSC. There are reasons why the required cutoff for these colleges is more than SBSC. KMC and Ramjas also have better rankings. Many times these colleges were featured among the top 10 colleges in India. Also, if you want to pursue higher studies like M.A in Economics from DSE, then being from DSE will help. As the student crowd is more competitive at the north campus.
How good is Lady Brabourne College for pursuing economics?
Lady Brabourne College is one of the best options under CU for a B.A or B.Sc. The faculty base of the Economics department is excellent. Classes are held regularly.

Which college is better for a B.Com (Hons) or Economic (Hons) Ramjas College or Kirori Mal?
According to the reviews online, Ramjas College has the best Economics Department. It has well experienced and respected faculties who will put their complete focus on your learning and has contributed a tremendous amount of research work in the field of Economics.
Also it is the only economics department which holds a prestigious international economics conference called SAESM which provides students with a lot of exposure. Will definitely recommend you to take admission at Ramjas. You won't regret it.
Ramjas ranks above KMC. As far as the environment is concerned, whichever college you get admission in, you will get the similar feel, being in the North Campus.
Which college should I choose between Daulat Ram, IP, Kirori Mal or Ramjas for eco hons?
Your preference order should be Kirori Mal>Ramjas>IP>Daulat Ram.
- KMC and Ramjas are both situated at the heart of the north campus. Both of these institutes are also equivalent in terms of the academics and faculty base for Economics Hons. KMC has a slight edge over Ramjas in terms of a better student crowd.
- IP College for girls is also a good option for girls with strict and good faculties.
- Although Daulat Ram is also situated at the North campus, the faculty base is not that good as compared to the other three colleges.
How is Shaheed Bhagat Singh College for Economics Honors?
One of my friends studied at Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC). It is considered to be one of the best commerce colleges of Delhi University.
Their Economics department shares more or less the similar kind of attention as the commerce department. The college is also renowned for its student crowd, which is said to be the best in the university at par with Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC).
Unlike the other commerce departments, placements of the Economics department is comparatively less. But it is gradually getting better with more exposure. Students here mostly study and learn on their own rather than depending on the faculty. So, you have to keep these points in mind before getting admission here.
What are the best colleges in India apart from ISI Kolkata, DSE, and IGIDR for MS in economics? (My criteria for best includes faculty, curriculum, pedagogy, placements, and alumni base)
ISI Delhi is a better option as it is far better than ISI Kolkata for MS. Saint Xavier’s College, Kolkata is also a very good college along with Saint Xaviers, Mumbai.
If faculty profiles, cost structure, placements with a package ranging around 7 to 9 lakhs, alumni, and acceptance rate are considered, here’s a list of all those universities which offer you all of the above mentioned.
- DSE
- ISI (Kolkata, Delhi)
- IGIDR
- MSE
- JNU (CITD, CESP)
- Department of Business Economics (DU), GIPE
- UoH
- CDS, Trivandrum
- IITM, IITK
- Jadavpur University
The school of economics does not offer an MS in economics. IGIDR offers a Master of Science but not a master of research which is offered by the most reputed IITM in Financial Economics.
Should a candidate interested in studying finance and economics join the ABM course at IIM Lucknow?
I think the PGP course is a better option if you are interested in Finance and Economics. This is because the ABM program offers the choice of only one option during the second year. The electives of the first year of both the programs ABM and PGP are the same. They comprise important topics like Micro and Macroeconomics, Financial Reporting and Accounting, Managerial Accounting, and Financial Management.
Most importantly you will be missing out on Finance and Economics courses. Some ABM students are diligent enough to sit through these classes despite everything.
There are no major differences in the placement scenario of ABM and PGP. Though I will recommend you go for the PGP program of a more reputed institute. Through ABM you will have to resort to self-learning more.
