Madras School of Economics - [MSE]: 1 answered questions

How good is Mumbai University's Kalina campus for M.A. in Economics? How is the course compared to a similar masters degree from Delhi School of Economics or Madras School of Economics?

Preeti Chatterjee

Delhi School of Economics, Madras School of Economics, and Mumbai School of Economics and Public Policy are reputed institutes for offering quality education in Economics. If you are considering the Mumbai region, Mumbai University’s Kalina campus is a good institute to do a Master’s in economics.

The college has a good syllabus which covers almost 8 core papers in the first two semesters.
Students get the opportunity of doing a summer internship which is assisted by MSEPP. These internships ensure students can confidently enter the corporate world after completing their courses.

In the Mumbai region, IGIDR and MSEPP are the best options for pursuing MA in Economics with good curriculums. IGIDR should be the first preference if you can score well enough in the entrance exam. A close second is MSEPP but it has a heavy dropout percentage.
