Highlights The Department of Economics is a group of highly inspired, like-minded individuals who dedicate themselves on a daily basis to the marvels of economics. Infused with intellectual competence and a yearning for knowledge, the department comprises the faculty members deeply revered for their many years of wisdom, and the students who form an integral part of this very community. An amalgamation of varying topics, from 'demand and supply’ to ‘costs and benefits’, the Bachelor's degree course in Economics is both intellectually demanding and professionally relevant. Strong emphasis is laid on the critical understanding of economic theories, and their application to a wide range of real-world problems. The mathematical and statistical methodologies presented in the course are vital in developing a greater degree of comfort while dealing with quantitative theory of economics and to confront the overwhelming empirical data that one might recurringly encounter. One of the most notable endeavours of the programme is to acquaint young scholars with the rich history associated with the Indian Economy, to empower them to acknowledge and appreciate its evolution. This allows one to draw comparisons, evaluate decisions and models and moreover, nurture the process of critical thinking; all of which are the characteristics indispensable to a policy-maker.

Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC), a premier institution of higher learning, is a constituent college of the Delhi University, financed partially (5 percent) by the Govt. of NCT, Delhi. It is a co-educational institution situated in prime location of Netaji Nagar, with various prominent residential societies and commercial ventures in its proximate neighbourhood. It is well connected by the Delhi Metro, the nearest stations being INA and AIIMS, as well as by road transport, through both bus routes as well as auto rickshaws/ e-rickshaws from the nearest Metro/ bus station. With the proposed Metro stations of Bhikaji Cama Place and R.K. Puram likely to be operational soon, commuting to college would further be eased.
The College was established in 1987 under the aegis of Delhi Administration once the erstwhile G.D. Salwan College closed its operation. Though it is now an entity independent of the Salwan Trust, yet in its formative years, it transformed out of the erstwhile G.D. Salwan College that was located in Rajinder Nagar. The college presently operates in a building owned by the Department of Higher Education, GNCTD. Despite the infrastructural constraints posed due to a non permanent self owned building, DCAC has earned the distinction of being one of the most sought after colleges, not just in South Campus, but also Delhi University as a whole. DCAC was also the pioneer college in Delhi University to introduce a three year Honors Programme in Journalism in July-August 1989.
DCAC has a campus area of approximately 5 acres, with a built up area of around 2.5 acres. The college offers 18 undergraduate courses leading to the Bachelor with Honours/Programme Degree with various paper options for students to choose from both under the CBCS mode and the erstwhile semester/ FYUP mode. The college also offers various add on and self financed courses. Till 2013, the college, in collaboration with ILLL, also offered an add on English Language Proficiency Course, Basic Level to give students practice in using English in a wide variety of contexts relevant to work, study and social activities. Besides this, in 2015, the college also collaborated with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), which has since been supplemented with the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana Scheme. The college has also been making various efforts and initiatives to integrate cross cutting issues as gender, climate change, environmental education, human rights, ICT, etc. through various cells, societies and community outreach programmes.
