M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2028

Offered by Guwahati University - GU

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall best university for M.A. in economics course.

Placements: Over 92% of the students are placed. Although the pay offered once I finish my studies is not very good, I would still like to pursue further education and earn a master's degree in economics. Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Brain & Company, and others are the leading hiring firms. Risk analysts and financial planners are among the most sought-after positions available. Approximately 90% of students can find employment.

Infrastructure: The amenities are first-rate. Classrooms, labs, sports facilities, a library, and Wi-Fi are among the amenities offered. A playground existed at this university. The classrooms could easily hold between 100 and 150 pupils. The hostel has first-rate facilities. An excellent meal at a fair price is served in the restaurant. Medical care is available. There is plenty of space in the classrooms.

Faculty: The university program is informative and well-designed. However, the curriculum structure is quite antiquated and reminiscent of educational institutions where we acquire theoretical knowledge without any real-world application. Therefore, I would suggest that it needs to get better in this instance. Both the instructors and their methods are very technological. The pass rate for the moderate semester exams is 56%.
