Economic Hons at VIPS

In 2018 the Economic Hons had an offline counselling session. At that time there were only 3-4 institutions provide this new course. The 2018 batch was the 2nd batch of Economic Hons in IPU. Wherein VIPS held the best position in offering the course. The total number of students that the college accepted for this course was 100 (divided into 2 sections of 50 each). I Applied for VIPS. It has been heard that Maharaja Agrasen has also started accepting applications for this course now.

Economic Hons is a great course in terms of learning, critical thinking, and if you are into stats, economics as well as maths. The scope for economics is widening every day. There are enough faculty members for every subject. Also, the teachers are well qualified and really good when it comes to offline teaching. However, in online mode, you might face difficulties as interaction is very less and ppts arent the best replacement for classrooms board teaching. But the teachers are always available for doubt sessions and will even be available after lectures to help you out with your studies. The Economics department of VIPS particularly focuses on Academics so they are very strict in case of attendance. So if your attendance falls short because of your co-curricular activities or social work or internship then the department is not very supportive in this case. As it's a new course therefore there will not be enough previous year question papers available and exams are unpredictable.

There are placement cell for each department. Different departments have different placement opportunities. The placement in other departments are fair enough and the placement in Economics is less than the other departments and not specifically related to the course however the department does conduct workshops. Few companies are- BYJUs, Oracle, Trueblue, 6Research etc

My fee structure is approximately 80k- 90k per year. However the same applies to online medium too (which I think is overpriced) this is excluding book bank facility or photocopy notes. Campus placement and internships opportunities are not as good as the other departments of VIPS (this might be because of the new course)

Each Department (for example Economics, Business, etc) held their own fest at different time of the year. The library is well equipped and the infrastructure of classrooms are good too. (With AC classrooms) As for the sports some of them were available at the college like table tennis and for a few rohini sports complex was used (where the charges were paid by the student themselves ) Other sports includes basketball, football, tug of war etc. There are clubs & societies at both departmental and central levels. Few central clubs are - NSS (Social service) ,Gender Champions, Dance , Dramatics, singing ,Enactus etc. The campus includes more of buildings and less of playing ground which in my opinion is well equipped for academics but less equipped for sports. You need to trade off between the society and your classes as no attendance is provided for the same
