About the Department
The Department of Economics started functioning the Day Course during the Year 1973-74 and the Evening Course in 1974 -75. After that, only the day Course is serving till date and the Evening Course was closed during the year 1977-78. Initially, the college is a Mens College, and therefore the male students are admitted for the course. However, the Government of Tamil Nadu ordered to convert all Mens Colleges into Co-Educational College during the Year 1997-98. Our institution is not an exception to this change and both Men and Women are benefitted from the Year 1997-98. M.A Economics course was introduced during the Year 2012-13. Both M.Phil (FT/PT) and PhD (FT/PT) research programmes in Economics are in operation from the year 2014 -15.
The main objective of the department is to impart socially relevant education at postgraduate level by a judicious mix of empiricism and theory. Adequate exposure is provided to all the M.A students in Statistics and Mathematics. They are also required to take compulsory courses on Economics of Environmental Studies and Value Education at UG level and Human Rights at the PG level. The syllabus and pattern of the study are updated periodically, and the University recently updated syllabus in the year 2017-18 under choice based credit system. For effective teaching, the department is equipped with modern teaching aids like Smart Board with LCD Projector.
