DU Degree for Less Than ₹65K Total
At just ₹21,615 per year, this program is shockingly affordable compared to private universities. Scholarships are also available, making it accessible if you have the marks.
No On-Campus Hostel
KNC does not provide hostel facilities. If you're moving to Delhi from another city, you'll need to arrange off-campus accommodation, so budget accordingly.
The verdict
Good fit
A solid pick if you want an affordable DU Economics degree with a decent academic reputation (NAAC A, NIRF #43). It's ideal for students targeting MA Economics, government exams, or starter roles in analytics and finance. However, the 35% placement rate and lack of hostel mean you'll need to hustle for internships and housing on your own.
