Hello Govind,

Economics honours is very good course. There are various opportunites one can pursue after economics honours. Also you can take placements in 3rd year after this, you can also go for goverment jobs and prepare for them. 

All the best.

In order to become a Economist you should be self confident, commercialy aware, good interpersonal skills and the ability to cope with pressure. Analytical skills are essential, as are communication skills.

You will need to explain complex ideas to people with less technical knowledge.

Good Luck!!
