BA Economics hons MSE review

Admission:

I wrote CUET but i did not apply to DU because of many reasons out of which delay was a reason. But then i compared the syllabus of DU and MSE and the rigor of MSEs syllabus cannot be matched with any other colleges i applied. I got admitted in few of the local colleges which i kept as a backup, but the staff lore and the syllabus is not as good as MSE. I did not apply to a lot of other colleges. The admission process to MSE is simple. You need to register for MSEET and if you clear the cut off you will be called. 12th marks are not considered at all (you need to pass tho) but they require you to have applied/standard math/ statistics in class 12th. They do not require any other examinations as such. It is pretty easy to clear the examinations.

My madras life view

Admission:

The name of Exam was CUCET which used to occur each yaer in the month if may or June. It was not troublesome on the grounds that it comprises of two sections GK and your picked subject. After that they will take your twelfth Board 40% weight-age and CUCET marks 60% and will finish the outcome. I scored in CUCET was 32 out of 100 yet my twelfth board % was 85% so I got chose. I settle on this since they give you multi year coordinated course joint effort with Central University of Tamil Nadu and whatelse do you need in the event that you will have a tag of focal University in addition to Madras School of Economics.

Madras review

Admission:

I took the selection tests of 10 best financial schools. I freed not many from them and decided to be a piece of Madras School of Economics. I pick this school as it offered a harmony between research educational program and aptitudes required to be a piece of the corporate world. The arrangement records were awesome. In conclusion, it is situated in the focal point of the city with rich green and serene condition near Anna Centenary library. I have a place with Delhi, I generally longed for remaining in Chennai which has sea shores and individuals are taught and social, which makes it sheltered and better spot to live in. Its been 4 years and I am as yet infatuated with the effortlessness of this city. Thus Madras School of Economics was most likely my cup of cake
