Generally, Master of Arts (MA) in Economics holders cannot directly take admission in B.Com, because B.Com is an undergraduate course meant for students who haven’t completed a bachelor’s degree yet.

However, if you want to study commerce subjects after MA Economics, you can consider

M.Com (Master of Commerce), which is a postgraduate course suitable after MA.

Some universities may allow lateral entry into the second year of B.Com, but this is rare and depends on the institution’s rules.

hi,

Yes, Ravenshaw University does have a placement cell, and it works to support students from all departments, including BA Economics. However, placements for Economics specifically may not be as strong as those for technical courses like Computer Science or IT. Some students have mentioned that companies do come for placements, but not always directly for BA Economics roles.

Still, students can participate in career guidance programs, skill-building workshops, and job fairs organized by the university. If you're proactive, build a strong resume, and make use of internships and networking, you can definitely find good opportunities after graduation.
