M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2026

2.4

If you're planning to come here for studying M.A. Economics, please don't.

Placements: There are around 130 students in the M.A. Economics and Financial Economics, and hardly 25 students get any placement. The recruiters are mostly small companies, and the average package is very low. The placement cell is nothing more than an independent students' organisation. Basically, you shouldn't consider this university if you want placement. The same with the internships too, you have to find on your own.

Infrastructure: The Infrastructure is very poorly planned and designed. Apart from old and depressing architecture, the locations of different buildings are also not well thought out. Some of the hostels are in the north campus and some are in the south, which are 3-4 km apart. Some departments are in the middle, some are in the east campus (3 km from the north campus), and some are in the south. There aren't enough buses to carry all the students to their respective classes. But, the library is in the middle, somewhat nearer to everyone and it's open 24*7.

Faculty: I must say, for such a highly rated university with a tag of "Institute of Eminence" (which they like to boast about all the time), the professors are pretty mediocre. You'd be lucky if you find one or two good ones. The curriculum is very hectic, especially for Economics students. The exams are also very frequent, you won't get any time to explore what interests you or prepare for a competitive exam. The difficulty level of exams varies, but mostly it's medium.

I'm delighted with my university because of the faculty and research environment provided by it.

Placements: Out of the students in my batch interested in placement, approximately 60%–70% have secured positions. The highest package is 14 lacs, the lowest package is 4.2 lacs, and the average package is 5.5-6.5 lacs. Top recruiting companies: Federal Bank, Berkadia, Jocata, Synchrony, SplashBI, Quadratyx, Global Data, etc. Approximately 60% got an internship.

Infrastructure: There are 6–8 digital classrooms in our School of Economics; 1 computer lab is also there, which provides us access to different statistical software that is useful for research. On our campus, there is one central library and one departmental library. And also, the university provides free Wi-Fi throughout the entire campus with unlimited data. Free Wi-Fi, Daily Cleaning of Hostel and Washrooms, Quality of Food is Medium, One Health Center (Zero Fee), and also health insurance.

Faculty: Teachers in my department are well qualified and very helpful. Some professors have industry experience as well. Yes, our course curriculum is relevant for both the corporate sector and for research as well. Semester exams are a little bit difficult, but almost 90–95% of students pass the exams.

Other: My keen interest is in the field of finance and economics research; that's why I chose this course. The best thing about my course is that it's a specialization in the area of finance as well as different other specialized areas. Offer some more courses that are more relevant to the current economic scenario. There are different cultural events organized by students from different states; Fest-Sukoon is organized by the student union once a year; and the DAG fellowship is there.

The vital curriculum for placements and internships is possessed by our university.

Placements: Our batch, including IMA students in general and financial economics, possess 120 students, and out of which, approximately 80 students have paid for internship facilities. Before the lockdown, 2 companies from Bengaluru named Exim Bank and Microsoft Research have come till February. About 15 students applied, and out of which, only 3 students got selected in total.

Infrastructure: Our IGM library is one of the best in the country for its ultimate facilities. Since it is a great university, it has a non-stopped Wi-Fi system. The classroom formation here is fabulous. In our MH, J and K hostel mess facilities are good in quality and are also affordable in price, including delicious Biryani. It also possesses a free health center and has the best sporting complex.

Faculty: Nowadays teachers are not that good as earlier. In spite that one or two professors are the best. The course curriculum is the best. It helps students to gain both internship line and getting UGC, NET and JRF also. Mainly financial economics here helps in internships as we have the best teachers.

Other: I have chosen MA economics because, in modern-day to day life, economics possess a vital role in a middle-class family. It comprises consumption production and the financial situation as a whole. As the curriculum is the best, there is nothing to change. In our university, DAG is provided. It also has 2,200 acres of forest environment, which is good for us.

I am satisfied with the campus and its culture.

Placements: Almost 30% of the students got placed. The highest salary package offered is 14 LPA, the lowest salary package offered is 4 LPA and the average salary package offered is 6-7 LPA. The top recruiting company of our college is Synchrony Financial. Almost 40% of the students got an internship. The top role offered to the students is a manager. We got internships in different companies like Accenture, Spire Consulting India, Delloite and as well in the ministries.

Infrastructure: All kinds of facilities are available here. As far as the hostel is concerned, it is value for money because rent is Rs. 500 for 6 months. Mess's food quality is very poor because there are no chapatis on the menu, and we have to eat rice.

Faculty: Faculty members of our college are qualified as far as teaching is concerned. Our university has some excellent teachers, but some are not worth it. The course curriculum is not placement-oriented. It is the only problem that is faced by our school.

I am satisfied because of teachers and very good infrastructure, but placements are not good.

Placements: Around 25% of the students got placed this year from MA economics. The highest salary package offered is around 11 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is around 4 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Deloitte and Synchrony. Top roles offered are basically data science and analytics.

Infrastructure: In our college, facilities such as Wi-Fi and infrastructure are very good. Labs and reading room are open all the time, and there is no time limit. I am a bit disappointed with the mess food, but it is affordable. Canteen is good enough.

Faculty: Professors in our college of social science department are well-qualified, very helpful and give great guidance in terms of studies and career. The course curriculum is highly relevant.

Other: Fest conducted here is good.
