Dear Applicant,

I hope you are doing well.

If you have studies economics paper in your B.com degree than only you are eligible to apply for Ma in economics or else no. Now this criteria can differ from University to university.

Some institutions may prefer a bachelor degree in economics while others may not.

Some colleges accept students who have studied Economics as a subject in graduation even if it is not the honours subject.

The aggregate marks obtained by you should not be less than 50 per cent or 60 per cent as that is the minimum requirement of almost all the colleges.

It is mandatory that you have to have an undergraduate degree from a college or a university which is recognised by the UGC.

Also if you wish to get into top college you will have go apply and clear out the entrance exam that the institution will set up. If you clear those and get a a very good rank than only you will be admitted in top college or else you will have to be happy in which ever place you get.
