How do I go about choosing between JNU and DSE for MA Economics?

Salini Roy

18 Oct 21

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,

10 Nov 21

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:

The core subjects include Mathematics, Statistics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics. Select any 3 out of these 5 subjects which you feel are your strengths.
Revise the basics from your graduation notes and practice past year exam papers.
For the subjects you feel you are weaker in, revise the basics. Do not spend too much time on them.
Practice questions from past years.
Analyse the topics in which you are lagging behind and try to read those in detail. You can also skip some topics too.
For Statistics, focus more on Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Discrete and Continuous Random Variables.
DSE requires a mathematical approach and proper concentration. So practice past year papers and do not forget concepts.

The books you can refer to are: Dornbush and Blanchard for Macroeconomics. Hal Varian, Nicolson, and Pyndick for Microeconomics. Hammond and Chiang for Maths. SC Gupta and Miller for Statistics and finally Gujarati for Econometrics.

Am I eligible for applying to MA Economics in DSE if I have an undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering?

Anshul Bhardwaj

13 Feb 23

Anyone who has completed his/her graduation in any stream can get admission to DSE for MA in Economics. The only eligibility criteria are at least 60% marks in the aggregate ( in the graduation program)

Earlier there was an additional requirement that the aspirant must have studied at least one Maths paper during their graduation. But the recent criteria do not even require that. However, DSE focuses a lot on Math, and having an Engineering background will definitely give you an edge over other candidates.

Recently DSE has witnessed many non-economic students willing to shift their careers in economics and want to pursue Master's in Economics. This shift among students stems from the increasing demand for economists globally in different domains of jobs like Analyst, Economist, Researcher, Data Scientist, etc.

As an MA in Economics aspirant, one thing to keep in mind is that although the entrance exam is easy, the program is quite rigorous and can be extremely stressful at times. So only a true Economics fan should go for it.

Why are Delhi School of Economics and other better ROI colleges (like JBIMS and many more) for an MBA not as popular as FMS?

Manoj Saigal

20 Feb 23

I have a friend who completed his MBA from the Delhi School of Economics. This answer is based on his opinions about why colleges with better ROI like DSE and JBIMS fail to compete with FMS. He has listed a few reasons for the lack of popularity of such B-schools:

Establishment: DSE MBA first began in 1986 whereas FMS was established in 1954. So the course and the institute are the oldest in the FMS case.
Alumni: Being an older Institute, FMS has a much stronger alumni network that has built a certain level of credibility in the corporate world. This criterion is missing in the case of DSE.
Courses offered: Until 2015, DSE offered courses like Master of Organization Development and Human Resources and Master of International Business instead of MBA. Firstly these specializations are not at par with Finance and Marketing. Secondly, MBA has more value than MHROD and MHIB.
Industrial relations: FMS is much more exposed to the industry and has excellent relations with the corporate world owing to a large number of its alumni.
Faculty: The faculty is almost similar as both DSE and FMS operate under DU. But the shortcomings are compensated for at FMS via the compulsory guest lectures by industry experts.
Crowd: The extremely high cutoff ensures only the most talented people enter FMS thereby increasing the quality of education and peer learning experience at FMS. This aspect too is pretty weak in the case of DSE.

It is because of these strong factors that B Schools like JBIMS fail to match the level of popularity enjoyed by FMS.

Why are Delhi School of Economics and other better ROI colleges like JBIMS and many more for an MBA not as popular as FMS?

Arshit Jain

10 Jan 23

Here are some of the reasons that should be mentioned:

DSE MBA was founded in 1986, whereas FMS was founded in 1954.

An older institute has more alumni to leverage for placements and thus more alumni to build credibility in the institute branding.
Until 2015, DSE offered a "Master" degree in HR/OD and IB, titled Master of Organization Development and Human Resources and Master of International Business. Two things stand out: i) HR/OD and IB are niche areas to enter in comparison to an MBA-Fin and MBA-Marketing. ii) A MHROD/MIB has lower popularity than an MBA.

FMS has significantly more industry exposure than DSE, owing primarily to alumni/family of alumni/friends of alumni.

Quality of Faculty: Though both FMS and DSE are run by DU, what DU lacks in academic-focused faculty is more than made up for in FMS, which has regular mandatory industry guest lecturers.

The higher cut-off in FMS (relative to DSE) year after year ensures (though is not guaranteed) a certain quality benchmark of students coming in, leading to increased competition and peer learning. Something DSE could think about.

Between JNU and Delhi School Of Economics, which option will be the best to pursue a PhD in economics for an individual?

Joyeeta Bakshi

17 Jul 21

One of my cousins who did a Ph.D. said that choosing a college clearly depends upon the area of interest you have in mind for the research.

It would be good if you start researching the professors of the colleges. If their field of expertise matches the field you wanted to opt for, then it’s a win-win situation.
Well, If we talk about JNU I have been informed by one of my friends who did PhD from JNU that this university focuses on hardcore research. Moreover, it has a good number of professors who have decent experience in research.
Whereas, DSE offers a master’s program that helps students to apply for corporate jobs. Thus, this institute is quite quantitative for its PG courses.
Delhi School of Economics will teach mathematically to understand the contemporary style of economics. This will help you try for a Ph.D. abroad.
JNUs teachings are much simpler and theories with less mathematical writing. If you want to sit for UPSC exams, JNU is really a good option.

Therefore, you need to choose wisely, pursuing Ph.D. would only be good if you receive a good piece of advice from your professors or someone who has appropriate experience.

Is an MBA in IB at DSE or an MBA from IIM Amritsar?

Sagardeep

06 Feb 23

An MBA in IB from the Delhi School of Economics (DSE) is a great option to consider, particularly when compared to the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Amritsar. While you may be considering IIM Amritsar due to its reputation, it is important to note that DSE has several advantages. Some reasons to consider DSE for your MBA include the following:

Location: DSE is located in Delhi, which is a hub for business and industry in India.
Delhi University Tag: DSE is a part of the prestigious Delhi University, which adds to its reputation.
Small batch size: DSE has a smaller batch size which allows for a more personalized learning experience.
Return on Investment: DSE has a great return on investment and it can be considered a good start towards your career.

You are strongly recommended to go for DSE as this brand will surely give you a good start. And after 6–8 years of working in the industry, you can consider going for another MBA from an Ivy League college.
