AS
Ashmita Sinha Posted On : April 5th, 2023
Masters from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

The MS (R) program offered at IIT Delhi is one of the finest courses offered at the institute. Academically, its credibility lies between MTech and Ph.D. Apart from your core courses, you can choose any course and gain additional knowledge in that field. 

Research-wise, the program is very dynamic and students are as actively involved in research as the Ph.D. students. Unlike BTech and MTech, the primary focus is on research rather than academics and project work.

Placements-wise, the branch is excellent with a 100% placement percentage.MB(R) students get placed even before MTech students. Many companies offering research-based job profiles consider the students of this branch.

So be it academics, research, or placements, the program offers it all and is thus a good choice.

What are the scopes after doing an MSc in cognitive science from IIT Gandhinagar?

MT

B.Tech Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (2019)

There will be brilliant job prospects. We often gauge our job opportunities by thinking about the most attractive starting salaries. This is not a justified point of view because the economical condition of India and the educational system of India leave much to be desired.

Cognitive science deals with our awareness of objects, the exact chain of events that take place in our brain, and the mechanism behind them. The subject is a difficult one and it involves anatomy, physiology, neuro- biochemistry, and psychology.

  • The scope of employment in robotics, artificial intelligence in India is huge. 
  • The same can be said in the case of European countries and the USA. If you are unique with your work, then you need to worry about your results. 
  • There is an institute in Seattle which specializes in consciousness studies. 
  • There can also be a hidden agenda in the USA that they will use your conscience as an influencing tool.

MSc in cognitive science pertains to consciousness which is considered as a product of the activity of the brain which is a misconception. You get your degree awarded by employing methods that are scientifically accepted.

While doing your independent research, you can prepare an algorithm by assuming consciousness as an entity that is independent in proceeding further, instead of opting for a beaten path. In case you find success in finding a one bit of the chain of events in cognition, you will be famous overnight.

I want to pursue a master's in economics. Which one should I choose: Delhi School of Economics, JNU, Indian Statistical Institute, Paris-Sorbonne University or University of Munich?

SG
Snigdha Goyal Posted On : July 8th, 2022
Studied at Delhi School of Economics

All of these institutes are excellent choices for a masters in Economics. If you want to study Quantitative and Mathematical Economics, then ISI will be the best option among these. ISI Kolkata placements are pretty good. Students get recruited as Data scientists, Financial Analysts, Risk Analysts, and other similar positions. You will get good scopes for higher studies as well. 

DSE is an excellent option for Economics masters. It offers good placements. Recent highlights of DSE placements show the average CTC for MA Economics is around INR 5 LPA. But the institute has a huge batch size. 

Paris Sorbonne University and University of Munich are excellent options as well. These institutes are especially good for research.

Which is better for M.S. in Quantitative Economics; ISI Kolkata or ISI Delhi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 18th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both ISI Kolkata and ISI Delhi are excellent institutes offering the MS in Quantitative Economics program. It’s difficult to compare the two as they have similar admission criteria, placement, and even scholarship opportunities.

However, if I had been in your place, I would have chosen ISI Kolkata as it has more courses, professors, and students. The students get to interact with students in non-MSQE courses.
