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.

There’s only one drawback, Maitreyi is a girl's college whereas, ARSD is co-ed.

SRCC is an established and well-known institution affiliated with the University of Delhi. The institution has a pretty good faculty and the curriculum being taught there is also considered to be of high standards. If you are planning to prepare a solid CV for your career, I would suggest that you opt for a course of your interest at SRCC.
These are just some views I gathered by interacting with students of these institutes.

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.

These are the best Indian colleges for a bachelors’ in economics-
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.
