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

- Ferguson and Symbiosis- Pune
- St Xavier's, Jadavpur University, Lady Brabourne- Kolkata

The ones that follow merit based admissions, mainly look at the Math and English scores of the candidates. Some of them take Math scores quite seriously. It is even better if you had economics as a subject in your +2.
An economics background may give you some benefit in the cutoffs. Some others follow entrance test based admissions. They’ll consider both your +2 marks and test scores (more weightage to +2 marks). You may consider a UG abroad, it is totally worth the trouble.
