Hello,

Admission to postgraduate programs in Delhi University is done through two ways and equal weigtage is provided in the sense 50% of  the seats belong to students of DU who get admission based on the merit of the qualifying examination, while remaining 50% gets filled through entrance exam which has the following eligibility criteria;

  • Candidates should pass B.A. (Hons.) / B.Sc. (Hons.) Economics with 50% or more marks in the aggregate from a recognized university. In the case of Universities where the B.A. / B.Sc. (Hons.) Economics degree includes courses other than Economics, the course shall be treated as an Honours course only if it contains at least 55% marks of the total marks in respect of papers in Economics
  • Candidates should pass graduation or post-graduation in any other subject from a recognized university in first Class with 60%

So, to answer your question, as long as your college is recognized, you have attained the required aggregate, you can definitely appear for the entrance exam, you need to secure at 40% in the entrance exam to be admitted for MA Economics.
