Department of Business Economics, Delhi University Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Curriculum is highly Economics focused hence the name Business Economics. Its a plus point for people coming from Economics background however others struggle a bit. All in all one needs to study really hard.

The curriculam is very different from usual B-Schools. Here we are taught econometrics, Time series analysis, Game Theory and other non-traditional subjects like International Economics and Environmental Economics.

Placements are good and majority of the placements are in the analytics domain so you must prepare best analytics in advance ans must start preparing for coding languages like python, R , SQL and other Statistical tools.

The placement of DBE is very good with an average of 14.4L Package and even summer internship opportinites are provided to the students. These figures are constantly improving. Many placement preparation activities are also conducted which help the students to get a better campus placement.

The students become eligible for the final placements from the 2nd year onwards and various companies like Barclays, Amex, ICICI bank visits the campus. In the first year internships opportunities are also provided.

The course curriculum is mostly aligned towards Economics but you don't need to have prior experience in the field, you can start afresh and still excel. I picked this course specifically for the Analytics part of it.

Till the time of writing, I am in 3rd month of my 5 month last semester and in my class about 60% of my batch is placed. You have to submit a student body fee of 40000 a year to be eligible for taking placements as this help out in having events organized outside the college. As there is no placement cell provided by DU, our student body is mostly run by students. Currently highest package offered was about 27 lpa and roles that have come are management trainee, Junior Data scientist, risk analyst etc.

It's great trust me, I can vouch for it, the amount of fees you are giving for that number it's really good, way better than getting less package or staying unemployed over and above a hefty loans. It's around 30-40 companies atleast. Avg - 13 to 15 lpa, profile are majorily in analytics side.

For interships, the students are eligible in the 1st semester itself and for final placements, in the 3rd. The process conducted is not so transparent, quite a lot of loopholes. Around 60-70 percent of the batch gets placed depending on their capabilities and employability.

The average packaged offer is 14.5 LPA, and some of the top recriters include American Express, Barclays, Caastle, Arcesium and many more. Most of the roles offered are of Data Analyst and in sales.
