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.
