    Top Economics Colleges in India 2023

    It is the economists who study all the market situations, financial situations and economic situations going on in the world. Any prediction of a recession is made by economists by studying all the economic situations happening around the world. Many countries have started preparations to make their economy grow. By this data, many people got aware and acted accordingly. For acting according to the economic situations also, we need economists to tell us what the next move of the company should be or of the country. But how do economists do this? Economists study economics at a very deep level and acquire a degree in economics. 

    Economics is a wide subject to study. We have been taught economics in our secondary school, and then we also study it in our 10+2 if we take commerce or arts. Economics has always been a subject which has the balance of both practical and theoretical knowledge. We can find examples of economics everywhere. From small shopkeepers to even big industries, countries, everybody needs to have a basic knowledge of economics. Economics is needed to understand the market, money, demand, and supply, etc., thoroughly. Especially companies, industries and countries need to have good economists hired to plan and cater to their next economic and financial move. 

    But some individuals tend to have an interest in economics and aim at being an economist or to achieve a degree in economics. With the current economic conditions going around the world, every big company or industry needs to have a good economist to understand the market and economy of the market the company is in. 

    Students will learn about the business cycle, economic market, demand and supply, various factors of industries, Financial situations etc. Practical knowledge, such as financial accounting and auditing, Law, and company tax. There is a misconception that economics is only restricted to industries and markets, but actually, economics does not really have any bounds, it can be used in agriculture, Natural resources etc. 

    Economists can work in both public as well as the private sector, Journalism, Finance, investment banking, venture capital etc. Some job Positions for economists would be Budget Analysts, Accountants, auditors, economic journalists etc. Average salary after completing an economics degree can range from 2.5 Lakhs to 5 Lakhs per annum.
