DU BA (Hons) Economics — Semester-Wise Coaching (Sem 1 to Sem 8)
Delhi University's BA (Honours) Economics course runs under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022 (UGCF), which follows India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This course has 8 semesters spread over 4 years. ArthaPoint offers paper-wise coaching for every semester — from Semester 1 (Sem 1) to Semester 8 (Sem 8).
A quick fact many students don't know: you can leave DU with a Bachelor's Honours degree after 3 years (6 semesters). If you study all 4 years (8 semesters), you get an Honours degree or an "Honours with Research" degree, which needs a dissertation or project in the final year. Both options are valid under DU rules.
