I’m doing my B.A. (Economics) in Kerala (Calicut University). What is the scope for this field?
The study of economics is a fine foundation for a wide variety of careers in various government agencies, business firms, non-profit organizations and academic institutions. It is a good basis for advanced professional degrees in areas such as management, finance, law and public affairs.
Indian Economic Service is open to post-graduates with economics. After clearing the examination one is entitled to Class I government service, attached to state planning boards, department of institutional finance, national sample survey, industries/agriculture departments, the planning commission and other bodies involved in economic analysis and policy making.
Financial institutions like Reserve Bank of India offer openings to post-graduate degree holders in economics. Business firms, banks and other financial institutions employ economists to evaluate their market positions and many business managers believe that economic training is desirable for positions in sales or management.
