Hello,

Delhi School of Economics allows students who have studied mathematics either at 10+2 level or during graduation .

Even if you did +2 commerce without maths , your Business Mathematics in graduation is counted as a mathematics subject.

So, if you have:

  • A Bachelor’s degree from a recognized university

  • Business Mathematics or any maths paper in graduation

  • Required minimum marks in graduation

  • A valid CUET-PG score

Then you are eligible to apply for MA Economics at Delhi School of Economics.

Hope it helps !

For admission to the MA Economics programme at the Delhi School of Economics (DSE), having Mathematics at the Class 12 level is a mandatory eligibility requirement.

DSE clearly specifies that candidates must have studied Mathematics at the 10+2 level (Class 12) to be eligible, regardless of their graduation subject. Studying Business Mathematics, Statistics, or Quantitative subjects during graduation does not replace or compensate for the absence of Mathematics in Class 12.

Since you completed +2 Commerce without Mathematics, even though you studied Business Mathematics during your graduation, you would unfortunately not meet the basic eligibility criteria for MA Economics at DSE. As a result, you would not be considered eligible for admission to this programme.

However, you still have good alternatives. Many other universities and colleges in India offer MA Economics or related programmes where Class 12 Mathematics is not compulsory, and eligibility is based on graduation subjects, entrance test performance, or overall academic background. You may also explore interdisciplinary programmes such as MA Applied Economics, MA Business Economics, MA Development Economics, or MA Economics offered by private and state universities with more flexible criteria.

It is advisable to carefully check the eligibility conditions of each university before applying to avoid rejection at later stages.

All the best for your future studies and academic planning.
