No On-Campus Hostel
Gargi doesn't offer hostel accommodation, so you'll need to sort PGs, flats, or commute. Delhi Metro is your best friend.
Built for Policy Nerds & Data Lovers
Micro, Macro, Econometrics, International & Development Economics — the syllabus mixes theory with serious quantitative chops.
The verdict
Good fit
Gargi is a DU economics powerhouse hiding in plain sight. At ₹54k total, the ROI is almost unfair — 82% placements with Big 4 and Goldman Sachs on the recruiter list. The A++ NAAC score and NIRF #31 ranking seal its credibility. The trade-offs? No hostel, and you'll have to crack CUET. If you're a Delhi/NCR local or fine with off-campus living, this is a stellar pick.
