Dear Rashi,

Calcutta University does not allow M.A /M.Sc admission in economics if you haven't graduated with Economics as an honours subject with min 60% and above.

This is the main eligibility  criteria for getting admission in CU to your preferred discipline to obtain masters degree !

to know more information  about CU PG admission procedure , refer to this link :

https://university.careers360.com/articles/university-of-calcutta-admission

But , don't worry .. you can opt for IGNOU as it allows the students to take admission in M.A economics who haven't any background in Economics at Graduate level.

Just go through the website of IGNOU for further details about the course !


Hope it helps !!

Best wishes !!
