Hello,

Thank You for approaching us at CareerGuide.com!!!

Good to hear that you have identified Economics as your subject of interest. Not many studnets can actually analyse their interest at the school level and appears to be confused. Very few students do spot their interest and I am very glad you are one of them. This well expalins you have a clear focus and I believe you would go in the right direction in your future.


To start with, Economics definitely rules the world's business. So you have definitely chosen the off-beat course. For now, I would advice you to concentrate on your basic level of Economics that you may choose to study at your school level. If your school gives you the opportunity to choose your own favourite subjects, then select Commerce, Maths and Economics as major subjects. If your school has subjects grouped in order then choose the group that has Economics in it. Kindly note, not all schools in India offer Economics at 11th and 12th level and usually Commerce is the default subject offered. It is worth exploring the schools that offer Economics in higher sceondary level and pick the best school among them. So complete your 12th level with good grounds in Economics.

After your schooling, choose to do BA Economics in the following colleges as they are one of the top ones in India. Delhi school of Economics ( econdse.org/), Lady ShriRam college for women Delhi( www.lsr.edu.in/), Indian institute of technology Kharagpur ( www.iitkgp.ac.in/), Jawaharlal Nehru university Delhi ( www.jnu.ac.in/), Indira Gandhi institute of development and research Mumbai ( www.igidr.ac.in/), Indian institute of technology Kanpur ( www.iitk.ac.in/), University of Calcutta ( www.caluniv.ac.in/), Indian institute of technology Delhi ( www.iitd.ac.in/), Madras school of Economics ( www.mse.ac.in/), Tata institute of social sciences ( www.tiss.edu/), Jadhavpur university ( www.jaduniv.edu.in/), Jamia Millia Islamia ( jmi.ac.in/) and Banaras Hindu university ( www.bhu.ac.in/).


Once you are done with your bachelors degree you may choose to do a postgraduate in Economics like the MA Economics or more specialized courses like MA Developmental Economics, Educational economics, Econometrics, Quantitative economics, Food economics, Health economics, Trade economics, Environmental economics and many more. Most often your postgraduate degree electives itself will lead you to choose any of the above specializations. Completing your masters degree you may either choose to do a Doctoral degree like the PhD in Economics or instead prefer to work as an Economist in corporates or government.

Hope the career sketch I have given to you is clear. For now, select the school that offers Economics in class XI and XII and then go ahead with doing the BA Economics from any of the above mentioned schools that stay reputed in the country for its overall ranking and Economics subject ranking. You will be clear on from then. My best wishes to you. Good luck.
