The Economics & Public Policy programme at IITDM Vizag is designed to provide students with a solid understanding of economic theories, public policy frameworks, and their practical application in solving societal challenges. This interdisciplinary programme equips students with the skills to analyse economic issues, evaluate policy decisions, and develop strategies that contribute to sustainable economic growth and social well-being.

Students learn core concepts in microeconomics, macroeconomics, public policy formulation, and economic analysis. The curriculum emphasises the importance of understanding global economic trends, government regulations, and the economic impacts of policy decisions on businesses, governments, and society. Students are trained to critically assess policy initiatives and their effectiveness, using both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Through case studies, research projects, and interactions with industry experts and policymakers, the programme helps students develop the analytical, critical thinking, and communication skills needed to navigate the complexities of public policy and economics. Graduates of this programme are well-equipped to pursue careers in government, research institutions, think tanks, and international organisations, where they can shape policies and drive positive societal change.
