Department of Economics has been offering one of the foremost and most sought-after course B.A.(Hons) Economics, since the inception of the college. Over the years, the department has grown due to the efforts of its supremely committed faculty and extremely active students. The Department allows its students to apply theory to practical scenarios supported by extra-curricular activities designed to bring forth versatility and application of concepts. In the recent past, the Department offered add-on course on ‘Understanding the Financial World: A Beginner’s Module’.
Our students have taken to public service by joining civil services, armed forces and even as faculty at other University of Delhi colleges. Our students have also opted for higher studies with some of the most coveted institutions such as IIMs and Delhi School of Economics. A good proportion of students get employment opportunities in companies of high repute such as JPMorgan, American Express, TCS and many more.
To facilitate students with a platform to exhibit and enhance their competitive and interactive skills, the Department has constituted a student body, namely, Epitome. This society is actively engaged in organising various academic events throughout year. The society also organises an orientation programme and a formal freshers welcome for the first-year students and farewell for the outgoing students every year. The annual festival, PARETO, is a major event organized by the students of the society. Named after the famous Economist Vilfredo Pareto, the annual festival provides a vital platform to the students across various institutions to participate and compete in several student centric events. The annual festival also includes lectures on relevant economic topics by eminent speakers from reputed institutions which provides a great learning experience of the economic theories and policies to all the students. The faculty members of the department participate in various seminars, workshops and Faculty Development Programmes to keep themselves abreast with the ongoing changes and development.
