Current Economic and Business Analysis is designed for all students, regardless of discipline, to help them make sense of the economy they live in. The course introduces the basic structure of the Indian and global economy and familiarises students with the economic language that appears daily in news, policy debates, and public conversations. Students learn to understand terms such as GDP, inflation, fiscal deficit, interest rates, exchange rates, and investment climate, and what these actually mean for jobs, prices, growth, and opportunity. Using real data, reports, and current events, the course builds the ability to read newspapers, budgets, and economic commentary with clarity rather than confusion. By moving from broad macroeconomic trends to sectors, firms, and public institutions, the course helps students see how abstract numbers connect to real lives and real choices. Its goal is not to train specialists, but to create economically literate citizens who can interpret the world around them, ask informed questions, and engage thoughtfully with economic issues in everyday life.
The Summer Internship is a mandatory component of the curriculum and forms an important part of the programme’s emphasis on Experiential Learning. It is designed to provide students with practical exposure to professional environments and enable them to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application. Through direct engagement with industry, organisations, institutions, or relevant professional settings, the internship offers students an opportunity to gain insight into potential career pathways and develop a clearer understanding of the practical dimensions of their chosen fields of study. The internship experience encourages students to engage with workplace practices, understand organisational structures and responsibilities, and gain preliminary exposure to the expectations and demands of professional environments. By combining practical experience with skill development, the Summer Internship prepares students for future academic and career opportunities and contributes to their development as competent and responsible professionals.
