For BA (Hons) in Economics, PGDAV is the best option among these, in terms of academics, student crowd, infrastructure, placements, and extracurriculars. The Economics department of PGDAV boasts of a dedicated faculty pool. The environment on campus is competitive and inspires motivation. It has a decent placement record. According to the recent highlights of PGDAV placements, the median CTC offered is around INR 3.30 LPA.
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.
Maitreyi College offers a better Economics (Hons) program compared to Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma. It offers better student crowd, better placement opportunities, and better student societies. So, your first preference should be Maitreyi. During 2020 placements, Maitreyi DU offered an average CTC of INR 3.5 LPA.
There’s only one drawback, Maitreyi is a girl's college whereas, ARSD is co-ed.
PGDAV College is a co-educational institution. It is known for its excellence in academics, sports and other extracurricular activities.
It provides better educational and placement opportunities. As a college the environment is perfect for learning. They also have the best faculty. Commerce and Economics faculties are huge compared to the others. They include more than 30 professors.
They have a clean and well maintained canteen, which provides affordable and hygienic foods to the students.
PGDAV College may not be very striking when it comes to looks but once you get to be a part of this college, you will definitely experience an amazing journey.

My brother was eligible for admission at SRCC but instead, he opted for IPM because it was favoring his interests, environment, and several other factors. You can too make a decision based on your interests and several other factors which you think are important for your career.
