M.A

Dear Sachin,
Choosing between M.A. and M.Sc. in economics, you are to see the course contents whether both or which one is with thesis. Go for post graduation with thesis so that scope for doing Ph.D. is kept open. However, Masters in Economics has a bright career prospect as well as salary if projected in befitting way. For better life I mean happiness - which is required to be dragged out from your own resource that is from your mind. That's a separate chapter - and I think I'm not the right one to discuss on it.
Best wishes.

Minimum criteria in most of the colleges is 50% in your graduation to pursue your masters.

Hi,
The webpage is silent about the number of seats available. It would be recommendable to get in touch with the college officials for the detailed information.
Thanks

Hi Ayantika,
The only information available on the website is that it has only limited seats and admissions are offered on the basis of merit only. The eligibility for the course is that candidates must have completed graduation with honours/general or pass (10+2+3) in the respective subject with full 300 marks at the graduation level.

Now interdisciplinary research in Ph.D. is allowed and it makes possible for you to pursue Ph.D. in the domains like Humanities and Social Sciences. You need to keep an eye on the opening of the admission process and application forms for Ph.D. in universities. This is the right time to see because, in the month of August and September, there shall be many universities starting the admission process for Ph.D. Along with the government. Universities, private Universities also offer Ph.D. on a large scale. There are entrance/selection tests.
