Compared to IITs the course fee at JNU is way lower. The required fee for M.Sc Physics is only INR 692. Due to the locational advantage of JNU, it’s easier to get placements and internship opportunities.
All of these institutes are excellent choices for a masters in Economics. If you want to study Quantitative and Mathematical Economics, then ISI will be the best option among these. ISI Kolkata placements are pretty good. Students get recruited as Data scientists, Financial Analysts, Risk Analysts, and other similar positions. You will get good scopes for higher studies as well.
DSE is an excellent option for Economics masters. It offers good placements. Recent highlights of DSE placements show the average CTC for MA Economics is around INR 5 LPA. But the institute has a huge batch size.

If you are asking about the most distinguishing feature between JNU and IIT Kharagpur then it is the fact that JNU is an Arts institute whereas IIT Kharagpur is a Science and Technology institute.
The students at IIT Kharagpur focus on technology and how to implement it for the benefit of the country. They focus on their own academics and try to bring about scientific developments in society rather than focusing on political issues. The same is the case with the professors at IIT KGP. They are hardly involved in political matters.
However, the scenario at JNU is a bit different and has a political touch to it. JNU has political views with many student bodies of political parties fighting in the elections. Leaving the political aspect, it is still one of the most esteemed Universities in India. Its alumni are spread across the world making huge contributions.
Applicants can check the eligibility criteria for JNUEE MCA below:
According to the eligibility criteria, the minimum marks for the qualifying degree should not be less than the aggregate of 55% marks for all unreserved category candidates. For OBC-NCL there is a 10% marks relaxation and for SC/ST/PWD candidates, the minimum pass mark is required. Also, there is no age limit to apply for this course. Looking at your profile and your graduation score of 49.9% does not seem very promising as it does not align with the required criteria. So unless you belong to a reserved category, it is almost impossible for you to get admission to JNU for MCA.
