JNU: 3 Answered Questions
View AllWhat are the placements after an MA in economics from JNU?
Economics offers many career options. Having a master’s degree in Economics from JNU will offer you many placement opportunities. Here are some of the career paths that you can choose after the completion of your degree.
- Quite a few companies visit the JNU campus every year to recruit students in data analyst and research analyst profiles. The average package offered in the placement drive is 9 LPA. However, not all students get placement offers. So, you want to work in a data incentive profile, it’s better to go for institutes like DSE, ISI, IGIDR, etc.
- Many students chose to pursue higher education. You can do M.Phil or integrated M.Phil-P.hD. JNU is a great option for pursuing higher studies in Economics. After completing your degree, you can teach and continue research.
- You can appear for civil service examinations.
- If you want to work in research domain but are not necessarily willing to pursue a P.hD, you can join think tanks. But you should keep in mind that getting into credible think tanks is not easy.
- You also have the option to take examinations for RBI and EXIM Bank. A background in Economics is a must for these examinations.
No matter what you choose to do, the competition is quite hard. So, you will have to work accordingly.
How do I go about choosing between JNU and DSE for MA Economics?
Both the courses are distinct from one another.
At DSE, they train you rigorously in mathematics. And this is an important part of your journey but that is about the only part DSE focuses on. Economic theory at DSE will give you an edge over a lot of other institutions and get your foot in the door inside a lot of big names in finance.
Now coming to JNU, they don’t give a lot of emphasis on Maths but they make sure you read a lot more than you will read at DSE. This means you build a well-rounded view of the world and how economies function. This is a good thing as it will help you very much in mainstream research and things like journalism where you need to know a lot of things.
Also, at JNU reading thoroughly is a part of the curriculum which is not the same in DSE. With the curriculum at JNU, you will discover different schools of thought and learn to think for yourself.
Overall, choosing JNU will be better.
How should I prepare for MA Economics entrances for JNU and DSE in 45 days?
Disha Dey,M.A. Economics, Delhi School of Economics (2016)Preparing for MA Economics entrances for JNU and DSE will need immense concentration and dedication. You will need to prioritize to keep everything in balance. Here are some things you can go through:

- Revise the basics from your graduation notes and practice past year exam papers.
