In today's situation economists perhaps holds the key of altering the fortunes of billions with a few policy choices which makes it imperative for students like you to study the theory and apply it in real world problems to find life changing solutions for individuals and world economies alike. Being an economist, I find that many Indian colleges teach the theory impeccably but their practice is somehow lagging behind. One institution which shows some promise in this matter is SP Jain School of Global Management. Their Bachelor of Economics has a healthy mix of theory and practice that makes the student market ready. It's definitely worth your review.

Dear, When it comes to get the best, you must have to deliver the best first. In India, actually, there are very lesser number of college who offers a good quality education in Economics Hons level. According to me, the best college is one who intake (student input) the best and outtake (student output) the best. Hence, with this barometer, I would consider two colleges namely (1) Indian Statistical Institute and (2) Delhi School of Economics. The reason being that why I am considering these two college the best is the quality placement given by the two. In ISI, there is an entrance exam that has been conducted by themselves and based on your academic score, they will give you the admission and in Delhi School of Economics admission is based upon your CAT percentile followed by GDPI and your past academic performance. So, try to get admission in anyone of these two to have bright future. Best of luck.
