M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2023

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall, it's the best university for M.A. in economics course.

Placements: Our university's first batch (2023) had very few businesses. Corporations hire only 55-66 of our branch's 80 students. 6 LPA was the highest package. 3 LPA was the minimum pay offered. The average bundle supplied was around 4 LPA. RBI, NITI Aayog, World Bank, and other institutions visited our campus to recruit students. The most sought-after positions were financial analyst and economist. Many students got internships.

Infrastructure: All transport arrangements were available from our university, so no need to worry about dispensaries and other such facilities. It was a healthy and peaceful campus. There was a specific menu followed by our canteen manager. There was free Wi-Fi on campus.

Faculty: The faculty group was strong because all of the faculty hold PhDs. The science and management faculty members were among the best. The intriguing part was that the majority of them live locally, making it easier to contact them. All teachers were gladly cooperative. The semester tests were simple to moderate, with a pass rate of approximately 65%.
