Should you pick BA Economics at St Aloysius?
This course suits students who like economics, data, policy and higher studies in a coastal city.
Pick it if:
You want an old Economics department: the department is over a century old and its alumni include finance, policy and university leaders.
You want higher studies after BA: NIRF shows 806 UG 3-year students moved to higher studies from the latest graduating group.
You need a lower fee: the full programme fee is INR 71,100 before hostel, so the loan load stays small.
You want hostel support: the hostel reserves half its seats for students from weaker families, so apply early if you need it.
Skip it if:
You want only campus jobs: the UG 3-year placement count is 227 of 1481, so many students choose higher studies.
You need a fixed single room: hostel rooms are limited, and room choice depends on availability when you join.
You need a BA-only placement figure: the published NIRF pay is for all UG 3-year courses, not Economics alone.
You cannot attend the interview: the Admission Cell can cancel the offer if papers and fee are not done in time.
Counsellor's advice
Take this seat if you want Economics with a low fee and higher-study options. If you need a job right after BA, check the placement cell first.

In short
Bengaluru costs less and pays more on average, but its selection score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your score clears both, take Bengaluru; if it clears only St Aloysius, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Bengaluru places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over three years and pays a little less. If its easier selection score is what you need, keep it one place below St Aloysius in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If St Aloysius gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Bengaluru costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier selection score. If your score misses St Aloysius in the early rounds, list Bengaluru right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If St Aloysius allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on St Aloysius (Deemed To Be University) BA Economics
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is this course right if I want civil services later?▾
It can be a right fit if you like Economics and can read daily. The low fee helps because you may spend later on coaching or test forms. Use the course for basics, but start answer writing, current affairs and statistics practice from the first year.
Should I take this seat if my score is just above the selection score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Karnataka fee seat closed at score 85 in the admission round and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get finance, service or higher-study paths with finance, audit and service companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 3 LPA, the median was INR 3 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a economics research or a policy job instead, this course is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a large city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a coastal city, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better score?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General selection score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 3 LPA is lower than the average of INR 3 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick BA Economics if you want a software job and ECE if you want a economics research or a policy job. BA Economics places a bigger share of its batch with finance and service teams, and its selection score is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want BA Economics, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the Class 12 merit exam and fill this college in your St Aloysius Admission Cell choice list. A seat comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the programme fee within the days St Aloysius Admission Cell gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 71,100 without hostel. With hostel and food it comes to INR 3.26 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
The college offers a supportive learning environment with a favorable faculty-to-student ratio of 1:60. Faculty members are praised for being approachable and supportive, fostering a comfortable atmosphere for student interaction. A mentorship program is in place, with one mentor available for every 40 to 60 students, ensuring regular guidance and assistance with academic queries.
The course tuition totals approximately 1,05,000 INR, which is divided into about 35,000 INR per year. The college also provides numerous scholarships for academically deserving students and financial aid for those in need, making education more accessible.
