Is economics honors a better option or IPM offered at IIM Indore?

SJ
Shrey Jain Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Studied at Integrated Program in Management, IIM Indore (Graduated 2021)

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.

How is the BA economics course at St. Xavier's University, Kolkata? What is the cutt-off for candidates who took commerce stream in 12? Is Mathematics subject compulsory for admissions?

Studied at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata (2017)

If you are considering pursuing a degree in Economics, it is recommended that you do not prioritize Xavier's Kolkata.

  • You'd be better off starting at one of the top ten colleges in Delhi or one of the top five in Mumbai.
  • Kolkata lacks the atmosphere and opportunities that economics graduates require both during and after graduation.
  • In contrast, Delhi has a great environment (coaching and guidance for higher studies in eco) and opportunities (training and internships) for eco graduates.
  • The Finance Industry in Mumbai will be very helpful (and much needed) in obtaining internships, part-time jobs, or any other type of practical training.
  • Calcutta is devoid of all of these.
  • Also, Mathematics is mandatory in order to be admitted to B.A. (Eco) at St. Xavier's Kolkata.

If you are not applying through any quotas (such as Christian, SC/ST, or from schools affiliated with Xavier's), you will need at least 96 percent in class 12th. Despite the fact that it appears in subsequent lists, it goes down by 1%–2%.
