Questions Asked On DSE Delhi, New Delhi

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.

M.A. Economics, Delhi School of Economics (2016)

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:

  • The core subjects include Mathematics, Statistics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics. Select any 3 out of these 5 subjects which you feel are your strengths.
  • 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.

Between JNU and Delhi School Of Economics, which option will be the best to pursue a PhD in economics for an individual?

JB
Joyeeta Bakshi Posted On : July 17th, 2021
Studied at Presidency University Kolkata (2019)

One of my cousins who did a Ph.D. said that choosing a college clearly depends upon the area of interest you have in mind for the research.

  • It would be good if you start researching the professors of the colleges. If their field of expertise matches the field you wanted to opt for, then it’s a win-win situation.
  • Well, If we talk about JNU I have been informed by one of my friends who did PhD from JNU that this university focuses on hardcore research. Moreover, it has a good number of professors who have decent experience in research.
  • Whereas, DSE offers a master’s program that helps students to apply for corporate jobs. Thus, this institute is quite quantitative for its PG courses.
  • Delhi School of Economics will teach mathematically to understand the contemporary style of economics. This will help you try for a Ph.D. abroad.
  • JNUs teachings are much simpler and theories with less mathematical writing. If you want to sit for UPSC exams, JNU is really a good option.

Therefore, you need to choose wisely, pursuing Ph.D. would only be good if you receive a good piece of advice from your professors or someone who has appropriate experience.

I want to pursue a master's in economics. Which one should I choose: Delhi School of Economics, JNU, Indian Statistical Institute, Paris-Sorbonne University or University of Munich?

SG
Snigdha Goyal Posted On : July 8th, 2022
Studied at Delhi School of Economics

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. 

Paris Sorbonne University and University of Munich are excellent options as well. These institutes are especially good for research.
