FAQs on Surana College Bachelor of Arts [BA] (Economics)

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is BA Economics at Surana College worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want a low cost BA with Economics inside the HEP mix. The full fee without PG room is INR 1.26 Lakhs, while the UG average pay printed by the college is INR 4.92 LPA. Check the fee block above and decide after adding your living cost.
Should I take it if I want civil services later?▾
Yes, it can fit that goal. Economics is studied with History and Political Science, so the papers match many civil services topics. The course is full time for 3 years, so use the college years for reading, writing and current affairs practice. Check the HEP mix before you pay.
What job can I get after this course?▾
Expect entry level office roles, not a fixed economics job for every student. The placement page prints INR 4.92 LPA as UG average pay and names recruiters like Accenture, Amazon, HDFC Bank, Infosys, TCS and Wipro. Build Excel, writing and data skills while you study.
Who should skip this course?▾
Skip it if you want a pure Economics Honours degree or a campus hostel. This BA is the HEP mix, so Economics is studied with History and Political Science. Hostel is not listed as compulsory for BA, so plan a PG room before you accept the offer.
Is it right if I want only Economics Honours?▾
No, not if you want only Economics papers. Surana lists Economics inside the BA HEP mix, with History and Political Science. That mix helps civil services and policy study, but it is not the same as pure Economics Honours. Read the course table before you choose.
Should I join if my Class 12 score is near 50%?▾
Apply, but do not treat the minimum as a sure seat. The BA page prints 50% aggregate as the mark rule, while offers still depend on forms and document checks. Use the score checker above, apply early and keep another option ready until your offer is clear.
Is the fee worth it against the average pay?▾
Yes, the fee is low against the printed UG average pay. The full fee without PG room is INR 1.26 Lakhs and the UG average pay is INR 4.92 LPA. The ROI tile is strong, but your own result depends on skills, internships and interviews.
Should I wait one year for a more focused Economics course?▾
Wait only if you are sure you need pure Economics Honours. Surana gives Economics with History and Political Science, which suits policy, civil services and general office roles. If that mix fits you and the fee works, taking the seat is sensible.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
You apply through the UG admission form, give Class 12 marks and submit papers for checking. The college lists merit based admission for BA and no entrance exam is named. Pay the admission fee only after the offer and fee details are clear.
What is the full cost without hostel or PG room?▾
The fee block uses INR 1.26 Lakhs as the full course tuition fee for 3 years. It does not include a PG room, food, travel or personal cost. Turn on the fee toggle above if you want to see an estimated living cost near campus.
Can I get a scholarship for this course?▾
Yes, if your papers match a listed scheme. The calculator shows INR 10,000 for the SEI CHAMP Scholarship, INR 3,000 for EWS support and INR 2,000 for SC or ST support. Keep income, category and marks papers ready before you ask the office.
What score do I need in Class 12?▾
The published mark rule is 50% aggregate in +2 or 12th. A higher score is safer because BA offers depend on the forms received and document checks. If your score is close to 50%, apply early and speak to the Admission Cell before paying.
