Hello Aspirant!

It's better for science students because an understanding of maths and physics makes it easier for them. About 5-6 years back, when colleges were allowed to set their own criteria, SRCC gave some advantage to science students. For instance, if the commerce cut-off was 98%, it was 96% for science students. In fact, this year St. Stephen’s Economics (Hons.) cutoff is less for science students compared to commerce. But as of now, everything is decided by the university so we do not set our own criteria.

I think initially it will be difficult for them, but if they have a strong foundation of Maths, they'll be able to cope with it. However, as per university guidelines, if you don’t have Economics at the plus two level, then 2.5% will be deducted from your best of four if you want to go for Economics (Hons.). For example, if you have studied Economics as an additional subject with PCM, then no marks will be deducted but if you didn't, there will be a deduction of 2.5%. After deducting 2.5%, one cannot get admission in SRCC.

Yes you can surely get eco hons in DU just the difference will matter in the college you selected because DU has 82 colleges so prefer the best college to get admitted into
