TERI SAS B.Sc. Economics Programme: Shaping Future-Ready Economists Since 2023

NEP 2020-aligned | Multiple exit options | Open to all streams — no Mathematics at 10+2 required

New Delhi [India], June 18: TERI School of Advanced Studies (TERI SAS) is proud to highlight its Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Economics, a programme launched in 2023, to prepare students for careers at the intersections of economics, sustainability, and public policy.

The Programme takes an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together economic theory and policy analysis. Students will examine real-world challenges, drawing on perspectives across social sciences and multidisciplinary streams of environmental science, natural science, and data science. This breadth equips graduates to contribute meaningfully to research, government, civil society, and the private sector.

Optional Minor Degree in Data Science: Students may opt for a minor specialisation in Data Science, gaining hands-on training in statistical modelling, machine learning, and data visualisation — making economic insights actionable in an increasingly data-driven world.

Fully aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the programme offers flexible exit options: students completing three years are awarded a B.Sc. degree in Economics, while those who continue for a fourth year earn a B.Sc. Honours with Research. This flexibility ensures students can tailor their academic journey to their career goals and circumstances.

The programme does not require Mathematics at the 10+2 level as an eligibility criterion. An introductory course is offered in Semester 1 of the Programme to provide exposure to the students with the 10+2 level Mathematics. Students from Humanities, Commerce, and Science backgrounds are equally welcome, broadening access to quality Economics education across India.
