How do I go about choosing between JNU and DSE for MA Economics?

SR
Salini Roy Posted On : October 18th, 2021
M.A. Economics, Jawaharlal Nehru University (2018)

Both the courses are distinct from one another.

At DSE, they train you rigorously in mathematics. And this is an important part of your journey but that is about the only part DSE focuses on. Economic theory at DSE will give you an edge over a lot of other institutions and get your foot in the door inside a lot of big names in finance.

Now coming to JNU, they don’t give a lot of emphasis on Maths but they make sure you read a lot more than you will read at DSE. This means you build a well-rounded view of the world and how economies function. This is a good thing as it will help you very much in mainstream research and things like journalism where you need to know a lot of things. 

Also, at JNU reading thoroughly is a part of the curriculum which is not the same in DSE. With the curriculum at JNU, you will discover different schools of thought and learn to think for yourself. 

Overall, choosing JNU will be better.

Preparing for MA Economics entrances for JNU and DSE will need immense concentration and dedication. You will need to prioritize to keep everything in balance. Here are some things you can go through:

  • Revise the basics from your graduation notes and practice past year exam papers.
  • For the subjects you feel you are weaker in, revise the basics. Do not spend too much time on them. 
  • Practice questions from past years. 
  • Analyse the topics in which you are lagging behind and try to read those in detail. You can also skip some topics too.
  • For Statistics, focus more on Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Discrete and Continuous Random Variables.
  • DSE requires a mathematical approach and proper concentration. So practice past year papers and do not forget concepts.

The books you can refer to are: Dornbush and Blanchard for Macroeconomics. Hal Varian, Nicolson, and Pyndick for Microeconomics. Hammond and Chiang for Maths. SC Gupta and Miller for Statistics and finally Gujarati for Econometrics.

I want to pursue an M.A. in geography at JNU next year. How can I crack its entrance exam?

DG
Damini Gupta Posted On : November 10th, 2021
studied Geography at Delhi School of Economics (2019)

If you are interested in Geography and have basic knowledge, it is not difficult to get admission at JNU. The syllabus for the entrance test is the same as that of undergraduate (Hons) in Geography. You can go through the syllabus on the website along with the question papers from the previous years too. It will help you understand how to prepare for the entrance test. 

The entrance test consists of 100 marks with objective multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Do not try to attempt all questions. Rather focus on accuracy. Take a calculated risk and try to attempt 80-88% of questions correctly. 

You can get an idea about the question asked in the entrance from previous year’s question papers and paper 2 and 3 of NET-JRF Geography.

Which one is better correspondence course MA psychology from from IGNOU or MSc Psychology from University of Madras?

RD
Ritabhari Dasgupta Posted On : July 13th, 2022
MA in Counseling Psychology (college major) & Counseling Psychology, Shreemati Nathibai

IGNOU is better recognized for distance courses. So, pursuing a correspondence course in MA Psychology will be better. However, if possible try to do a regular course in counseling, clinical or industrial psychology. Psychology is practical oriented subject, and you will need to do dissertations, practicals, and internships as a part of coursework. Being a practical-based course, the career outcomes of correspondence degrees in Psychology are somewhat limited.
