How is Delhi College of Arts and Commerce for economics honours?

SS
Shruti Sharma Posted On : November 5th, 2022
Bachelor in Economics & English Literature, University of Delhi.

Overall, DCAC is a quintessential and fairly standard college. However, if you are a new student looking for admission, this is a good college to consider. If you only have one option, go with DCAC.

The faculty members determine whether or not a department is worthwhile. Faculty members are highly qualified and experienced. Students have always provided positive feedback, particularly for the Economics Department. Another factor to consider is your sincerity, seriousness, consistency, and punctuality with regard to the subject, as well as your desire to become enlightened.

Is economics honors a better option or IPM offered at IIM Indore?

SJ
Shrey Jain Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Studied at Integrated Program in Management, IIM Indore (Graduated 2021)

Firstly Economics Honours required an in-depth study of Economics whereas the IPM program focuses on the many areas of Management. There is a drastic difference between the nature of both courses. No doubt Economics knowledge is beneficial for the IPM program but is not necessarily important. In IPM, Economics is just a 4 credit course in a term of about 30 credits.

IPM hugely emphasizes Quants over Economics. So if you are more interested in Economics, then IPM is not for you. Your choice should be a good college from DU North Campus. If you manage to get into one then pursuing Economic Honors is a much-preferred option over IPM. Don’t choose a below-average college for Economic Honors. In that case, go for IPM only.

How is the BA economics course at St. Xavier's University, Kolkata? What is the cutt-off for candidates who took commerce stream in 12? Is Mathematics subject compulsory for admissions?

RC
Rishabh Chandel Posted On : June 9th, 2021
Studied at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata (2017)

If you are considering pursuing a degree in Economics, it is recommended that you do not prioritize Xavier's Kolkata.

  • You'd be better off starting at one of the top ten colleges in Delhi or one of the top five in Mumbai.
  • Kolkata lacks the atmosphere and opportunities that economics graduates require both during and after graduation.
  • In contrast, Delhi has a great environment (coaching and guidance for higher studies in eco) and opportunities (training and internships) for eco graduates.
  • The Finance Industry in Mumbai will be very helpful (and much needed) in obtaining internships, part-time jobs, or any other type of practical training.
  • Calcutta is devoid of all of these.
  • Also, Mathematics is mandatory in order to be admitted to B.A. (Eco) at St. Xavier's Kolkata.

If you are not applying through any quotas (such as Christian, SC/ST, or from schools affiliated with Xavier's), you will need at least 96 percent in class 12th. Despite the fact that it appears in subsequent lists, it goes down by 1%–2%.

Which one is better for B.A (Hons.) in political science: Hindu College, University of Delhi, or St. Xavier's Kolkata?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : July 24th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

While my brother was preparing a list of top colleges offering Political Hons, he never came across St. Xavier’s Kolkata while Delhi University and Hindu College specifically topped his list. This in itself proves Hindu College to be better than St. Xavier’s. Additionally, most of the teachers and seniors advised him to choose Hindu. 

He was lucky enough to clear the cutoff and join the college. To date, he has no regrets about his decision. The best part of the institute is its superior location in Delhi. The crowd this college welcomes is another reason he was inclined towards it. The seniors are very cooperative and ragging is not tolerated. 

The faculty pool comprises professors from top national and international universities. Most of the students pursuing political science either target Civil services or are inclined toward international relations and other political issues. While many may find flaws here because it’s a government college, trust me in the long run it’s your efforts and talents that matter. A college can only provide for you; it is you who has to make the most out of it.

Can I do BA with psychology after dropping 2nd yr Diploma in engineering?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 24th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

It's understandable that you may be considering a change in your field of study, especially as a 2nd-year student. To determine if psychology is the right fit for you, first, you should do some research and gain a better understanding of the field. While many people consider this field as cool and interesting, the reality is far from this. 

Psychology is a difficult field unless you are genuinely interested in it and are certain about pursuing a career in it. A career is a long-term shot and you should be determined to go for a PhD from a top institute. Many times people are attracted to a certain field only to find later that they just wanted a way out of engineering. It's very necessary to do a self-analysis.

Also, I would like to clear the misconception that you don't have to get your bachelors in the same field as your master's. Unless you are planning to get a master's or doctorate, a bachelor's in psychology is not an easy degree to find a comfortable living after graduating. You can just take a minor in psychology in order to meet the eligibility criteria to enter many graduate school programs. But, if you want to pursue a research-based Ph.D. program you will likely need to get actual research experience, which may be harder if you only did a minor.

Additionally, you can read up on the latest research and articles in psychology, and explore different subfields of psychology, such as clinical, developmental, social, and cognitive psychology. It's important to remember that changing majors can be a big decision, and it may take some time to determine if psychology is right for you.
