Why Economics @ JHCEconomics is an excellent major to chose if you want to

diversify your career options.

Being part of the Economics program at JHC has helped me achieve offers of admission at London Business School, LSE, Imperial College and University College, London.

Pursing an Economics degree at JHC is like having the best of both worlds. An academic rich course taught by experienced faculty and events like Arthanomics and Symposium that push your limits at every stage.

The teachers at JHC are extremely helpful, supportive and push mental boundaries. Student community is extremely motivated

Why Economics @ JHCHear it from our alumni -

“Studying Economics at JHC has been one of the most fruitful decisions of my life and has given me the sharpest insight and

consummate preparedness in the field of Economics”

“I developed a profound interest in understanding how the economy works, what goes behind functioning of a nation during my Junior College days. When choosing which subject I should opt for my majors after my 12th, I not only thoroughly researched on all subjects that were offered in Eco majors but even looked at their application in my day-to-day life. I was not only intrigued by the subject academically but even looked at what JHC had to offer in the coming three years and even after. And, I proudly say it has been the best decision of my life”

Sujay Choksey

Vaitasi Desai

The Economics Major at JHC is one of the most sought after courses. You are trained to think analytically in the classroom,

while also creatively thinking outside the room too.”Jinita Shah
