Launched in 1991,as the first Under Graduate Programme of the College the Department of Economics has established as a major centre for teaching and learning in Under Graduate Programme in Economics .The programme aims not only at economics but also gives students exposure to econometrics and quantitative techniques. Other than teaching assignments, the Department is also involved in academic and research activities such as conducting workshops and seminars. Students play a prominent role and take the lead in organising many innovative, interdisciplinary action events/projects. Students are encouraged to learn beyond classroom through students’ presentations, community centred projects etc. This provides a platform for students to apply their theoretical knowledge and prepare them to face challenges of job market. We are proud that the Department acts as an excellent training ground for budding economists.
