B.A. (Hons) Economics Entrance Coaching
Focused preparation for the JMI B.A. (Hons) Economics entrance test, with an Economics and Mathematics foundation that also serves AMU and CUET (UG).
About B.A. (Hons) Economics
B.A. (Hons) Economics studies how individuals, firms, governments and economies make decisions about scarce resources. It combines economic theory with mathematics, statistics, data analysis, the Indian economy, development economics, public finance and international economics.
Jamia Millia Islamia offers the programme through its Department of Economics, with its own entrance syllabus. Economics and Mathematics with Statistics together carry 80% of the JMI paper, so students should be comfortable with quantitative work and start early if Mathematics is a weak area.
