In 2005, I started blogging. For a year or so, I was quite regular. Over the time, I became increasingly involved in my PhD thesis. This involvement lead to the untimely death of my first blog. Ever since I joined IIT Kanpur, that is back in June 2009, I thought about starting a new blog; mostly, to talk about contemporary economic issues and Economics education in India. However, my laziness prevailed. Not any more. Now, IIT JEE result is out, giving me impetus to spread the awareness about the our Bachelor in Science (B.S.) program in Economics @ IIT Kanpur among successful aspirants.

ReplyDeletesir can u throw sum light regarding placements and internships, hiring firms, future prospects..?? it could help me alot
ReplyDeleteNilesh: Please see my other posts and replies. All top consulting companies, banks, financial firms and analytical firms allow Economics students to sit for their job interviews. And, a significant proportion of economics students get hired by these firms. Let me add that selecting a program solely based on pay package is not a good idea.
DeleteSir, i am quite interested in this......I have a rank of 3085.....i want to know about future prospects, and avg packages (my parents want this data)......?
ReplyDeleteKush: Our undergraduate students in Economics have done extremely well in the job market in absolute as well in comparison to the students of most engineering discipline. Let me emphasize again that selecting a program solely based on pay package is not a good idea.
