Diploma courses were started because there was a growing demand in the country for people who could not apply their knowledge to solve their practical economic problems. It has been observed that candidates having knowledge of Economics can perform well in professional and civil services’ examinations but also get rapid promotions in their current jobs. This is because of the nature and wide scope of applied economics. The program provides an opportunity to those who want to strengthen their knowledge of applied economics. It is equally important for government officials, businessmen, traders, bankers, general public and above all for students of Business, management and accounting to acquire the basic skills in applied economics.
