You have potential chances of becoming a lecturer in a reputed institution if given a good percentage in MA economics. PhD will help you fetch jobs in universities as a professor. You can write civil exams also after the degree course duration. Ensure you match college eligibility criteria by having minimum percentage to qualify for MA economics.

The entrance exam would majorly include questions from 4 main economics papers and general knowledge, given below:
1. Statistics: Probability, Averages and Dispersion
2. Microeconomics: Different productions and cost functions with emphasis on their minimization exercise and profit maximization problems, different forms of competition encompassing perfect competition, monopoly, basic theory of general equilibrium
3. Macroeconomics: Basic knowledge of average graduation level should be sufficient. Emphasis on growth models
4. Mathematical Economics: Series, sequences, functions and relations, sets, basic calculus such as integration and differentiation. Incorporate notions of implications, quantifiers etc. In Logic. General Knowledge:
Preliminary knowledge of national and international economy and regular surfing of newspapers will be enough. I can also suggest you:-
Identify the weightage of each sections and sub-sections and allocate the time keeping your strengths in mind. Invest sufficient time in improving, strengthening your vocabulary and reading skills from the beginning. Having good command in Vocabulary and Grammar will help you score more marks in less time.
Hope this helps.
