The philosophy underlying the B. Sc. Economics Degree programme and other post-graduate programmes are designed to produce graduates equipped with critical skills and abilities to: abstract using simplified models that identify the essence of a problem; analyse and reason both deductively and inductively; marshal evidence, assimilate structure and analyse qualitative data; communicate concisely the results to a wide audience, including those with no training in Economics; think critically about the limits of one’s analysis in a broader socio-economic context; and draw economic policy inference and to recognise the potential constraints in their implementation.

The objectives of the degree programme are:
i. To stimulate students intellectually through the study of Economics and to lead them to appreciate its application to a range of problems and its relevance in a variety of contexts;
ii. To avail the students with sound knowledge of the theory of economics, their applications to a range of problems and their relevance in a variety of contexts;
iii. To provide accessible research tools for probing economic problems both at the national and global levels;
iv. To arouse the mind of enquiry in students so as to make them to explore and exploit opportunities for national development;
v. To develop in students the ability to apply the analytical tools, knowledge and skills acquired to the solution of societies’ economic problems;
vi. To provide students with the knowledge and skill base, from which they can proceed to further studies in Economics, related areas or in inter-disciplinary areas that involve Economics;
vii. To provide a firm foundation of knowledge about the workings of an economy and to develop the relevant skills for the constructive use of that knowledge in a range of settings;
viii. To train students in the competent manipulation of economic tools and models for effective analysis in different domains of economics;
ix. To develop in students, leadership and inter-personal relations skills needed for working in organisations.
