Course Curriculum Overview
the program emphasizes core economic theories , mathematical techniques, and statistical methods. the inclusion of maths, stats, and econometrics helps in developing analytical and problem - solving skills, all of which are important for real world. there is exposure to various branches of economics. the curriculum integrates data analysis, evaluation, and case studies, which are useful in careers in academia, corporate sector, banking, etc. According to me the places to improve include: Update the curriculum with emerging topics Professors being a little more student friendly more practical exposure more research opportunities there are semester wise exams and due to covid we had to cover a lot in less time than usual. It is a difficult course but doable.

Admission
I had applied to and got confirmation from Xaviers College and Jadavpur University. I chose to go to Presidency Due to to its heritage and strong economics department and also due to its affordability. There is a competitive peer group and the location is a plus point. The eligibility reuires minimum of 60% in 10+2 for General category and 55% for SC/OBC/ST/PWD Maths has to be a mandatory subject ( for B,Sc Economics) THey accept admission through PUBDET though mine was direct admission due to COVID 19. The process of admission is to register for PUBDET then give the xam and then wait for merit list and finally if selected go for document verification. The cutoff ranges usually from 150 - 250.
Faculty
the faculty to student ratio is like 7:40 The faculties are approachable for academic queries. I really liked to study under Professor Mousumi Dutta in the Economics department. I liked her teaching because it was very systematic and easy to understand. I did not like a certain professor, I would not like to name him/her. There are semester wise exams as well as 2 small internal exams every semester and mid sem exams. In our batch there were a handful of students who failed certain semesters as it was quite difficult to pass these exams.
Night Life
The whole area itslef is not so safe. Inside the campus there is full safety but the college street area during night is preferabbly not safe for girls or boys to roam around alone at night. The hostel is just oustside the campus and the canteen is reallly good. There is no gym but there is a basketball court and volleyball court and a badminton room and table tennis room, as well as carrom. The boys hostel is close to the campus whereas the girls hostel is little far but the university provides bus services from girls to college and vice versa and schedules timings. the boys hostel has no time limit to enter or exit, but just an attendance register. Th girls hostel closes at around 8 to 10 pm at night and opens in the morning. The top places to hangout inside the college is the place called The Tank.And there were multiple places to eat and chill outside the college.
