Hello Rugved,

Even though experts have divided opinion on the matter of pursuing multiple degrees simultaneously, legally it is permitted to do so.

What is important to note here is that a course like IPM can be very demanding on its own. Pursuing two degrees together may affect your academic performance and learning in both the courses. But if you believe that you have the efficiency and time management skills to pursue both of them together without hampering your learning, then I recommend that you can pursue your second degree, i.e. B.A. in economics with an open university like Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) so that you are not tied down by constraints of a daily schedule and attendance and can focus well on your primary course.

All the best!
