Dear Candidate, IILM University, Gurgoan is offering full-time, three-years, undergraduate B.A. (Honors) Economics programme aimed at preparing young graduates for higher studies, employability and to nurture their intellectual, personal, interpersonal, and societal skills. We aim to acquaint students with the economic aspects of modern society, to familiarize them with techniques for the analysis of contemporary economic problems, and to develop in them an ability to exercise judgment in evaluating public policy in terms of the economy at large. This programme is aligned to IILM University ethos that gives the students freedom of choice whereby they can pick up disciplines from multiple verticals. This helps them specialize in two areas of their choice (major and minor) adding to their employability quotient. Being part of this programme students will have the benefit of pursuing liberal arts and design courses such as Psychology, Design Fundamentals, Material Manipulation, and much more. The pedagogy that we follow is a combination of theory and practical sessions that are equally interactive and engaging. The student learns through live business and economy-wide case studies, experiential learning and exposure to various analytical tools like R, SPSS, etc. The goal of our curriculum is to help students develop an understanding of how individuals, organisations and societies make the choices that determine how an economy scarce resources are allocated among alternative uses and the consequences of those decisions. The programme teaches:
How economists use data and empirical methods to measure economic outcomes and test competing theories. What is the role of public policy in addressing economic problems and an ability to evaluate economic policy proposals and debates. How to effectively apply the theoretical tools and empirical methods used by economists to analyze real-world phenomena. How to pursue independent economic research driven by their interests, and to assist faculty with their research. For more information please visit our website-
