Sure, you can pursue an MA after B.com because the eligibility criteria for an MA in economics is you must have completed your bachelor’s from a government-recognized university with a minimum mark of 50 percent. However, these minimum marks vary from university to university.

Yes, you can pursue an MA in Economics after completing a B.Com. Many universities accept students from a commerce background for this program, as the foundational knowledge gained during a B.Com, such as principles of economics, accounting, and statistics, can be beneficial. 


It’s advisable to check the specific admission requirements of the universities you are interested in, as some may require certain prerequisites or a background in economics. I hope this information is useful and clears your doubts, but if you still have any queries, you can visit College Vidya or connect with the counselor.

It is possible to do a B.Com and then go for an MA in Economics, yes. The majority of universities admit graduates of a commerce background, provided you have a recognized undergraduate degree from a recognized university and meet the minimum marks requirement, usually between 45 - 50% at any given institution. There are, however, a few universities that either prefer or even indicate the study of economics or mathematics at the undergraduate level; you should therefore ensure that you read the eligibility criteria of every university that you are interested in before applying.

Yes, after your B.Com, you can pursue an MA in Economics, assuming you meet the eligibility criteria of the University. In most cases, the universities will want you to have some exposure to economics or a related discipline in your undergraduate studies. B.Com students usually study one or more economics papers as an undergraduate, and this counts towards meeting the admission requirements. Taking the MA in Economics allows you to develop analytical, quantitative, and research skills to pursue careers in policy analysis, finance, research, and/or the government. It's a great option if you have an interest in economic theory and what that means in terms of economic applications.
