The Department of Economics has a rich history, dating back to 1950 when economics was first taught as a subsidiary course. Over the years, our department has grown and evolved, introducing new programs and specializations. The Undergraduate Program in Economics (B A Economics) was started in the year 1981 and the Post Graduation Program (M A Economics) was launched in 2020. The Department of Economics is uncompromisingly committed towards nurturing academic excellence and research in the field of economics.
