How is Shyam Lal College of Delhi University for doing a BA in economics honours?

SR
Shreetama Roy Posted On : September 30th, 2021
B.A in Economics at Shyam Lal College Delhi (2020)

Shyam Lal College, Delhi is a good institute but not exceptional, if its prospects are compared with various other colleges. However, the economics department alone can be a good choice if you are opting for Shyam Lal College.

Now, the faculties are good but it is essential that you study as per your pace and competence, without depending upon the professors.

Shyam Lal College can be a good choice only if you are devoid of any other options to go for. There are other aspects to consider when choosing a college, the infrastructure, crowd, internship programs, fest, societies, canteen, campus, location are to name a few among many others.

The infrastructure is quite good. The internship programs, alongside the fests, are not quite exceptional. In a way, the societies, in contrast, are ranging higher from time to time. Moreover, the canteen of the college is somewhat above average, while the location is quite disadvantageous. However, the institute is deemed pretty much better than others since it is under the University of Delhi. 

Overall Shyam Lal College, Delhi is a decent option for pursuing your Economics Hons. Now whether you should go for it or not depends on what other options you have.

How is economics honours course from Aryabhatta College?

CD
Chhaya Das, Posted On : October 28th, 2021
Studied at University of Delhi (2016)

Some of my friends studied Economics honors at Aryabhatta College. According to them, economics honors itself is a comparatively tougher subject, graduating with it is an achievement itself.

  • You get to know about how markets work and relate almost anything and any topic or current issue to the prevailing conditions of an economy. 
  • It also demands good skills in mathematics and quantitative ability that will benefit you in the long term. 
  • This course will push you to your limit. You will have to submit numerous projects based on case studies and current market scenarios.
  • Aryabhatta College is the youngest college of DU. It originated from an evening college converted to a morning one. 

The only thing that is a bit concerning is its placement cell, it is very new. Thus, not having established contacts with the reputed organizations and companies might come as a disadvantage. Few companies that visit the campus are average.

For BA Economics honours LSR will be a better option as compared to Ashoka University. Given below are the reasons why.

BA (hons) English Literature, Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce (2017)

BA Economics Honours in Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce is not a UGC recognized degree.

In your 1st year if you score a 60% in all the subjects, then only you are offered an Honours degree in the 2nd year.

Economics, unlike other subjects, is very much in demand, so you can expect a lot of competition. The faculty members of this department are also well experienced. You will get to familiarize yourself with the course structure. Overall the college provides a peaceful environment. 

Though keep in mind that the Honours degree is provided by the college but the main degree is given by SPPU. Nothe that before registration.

Which option is better, Pursuing a BA programme (Eco +Maths) from PGDAV college or BA (Honours) Economics from Amity University

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It’s better to choose the right program for you than choosing a better college. This is because if you choose something you are passionate about, even an average college will offer you enough opportunities to grow in that field. 

I will suggest you go for Economic Honors in the BA program. This program is the right blend of Maths and Economics at the graduation level. Given below are a few scenarios in which choosing a BA program from PGDAV college over BA (H) Economics from Amity University will be beneficial

  1. You have no interest in pursuing higher studies in the field of Economics. You are just looking for a qualifying degree that will make you eligible for government exams or other courses.
  2. You get a better college for the BA program than Economic Honors. Although I will suggest that you give preference to courses over college.

Most people will suggest you go for Economics Honors but make sure you are choosing what you actually want.

DSE doesn’t offer bachelor's in Economics. However, most other colleges under DU offer BA in Economics.

AS
Aditya Shukla Posted On : October 18th, 2021
Masters in Economics, The London School of Economics

Most DU institutions are on a similar footing. But Ramjas is regarded to be superior in most areas. Apart from similar academics to KMC, Ramjas College has one of the best cultural events. Its focus is on the holistic development of students.

With time, the value of these colleges is diminishing as cut-offs are getting competitive, and the quality of students is spreading more evenly. However, Ramjas is the best if you want to challenge yourself.
