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

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 4th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Ph.D. is different from other degrees in which you learn and take exams. During your Ph.D. you need a research guide who takes an interest in your work and is involved in active research in the same field as you.

Unless your guide is active in research, they can not guide you. Here research refers to publishable research in good journals.

Your field of research will determine the better option out of the two to pursue your Ph.D. in Economics. If say, you wish to work on Marxism/Communism or related topics, CESP JNU is the right choice for you. You will find ample assistance in JNU.

If you wish to work in Micro Theory such as on Contract theory or Industrial Organization, DSE will be the right option. There are more faculty members in DSE than CITD JNU who work in these areas.

If you wish to work on DSGE literature ( Macro), the guide will exist as a formality and you will be on your own for the most part. This field of research is not pursued by most in India and you will mostly have to rely on yourself.

Also, if you wish to work in the corporate after your Ph.D. , join DSE as it offers very good placements. JNU does not offer on campus placements. The economics at JNU though, is very enriching. There you will be exposed to a variety of subjects, debates, etc. 

You must choose between JNU and DSE for your Ph.D. Economics, based on your personal preference and your field of research.

What should I choose between Pondicherry University, JNU, DU for MA philosophy? Why? Which is more economical?

AS

MLISC from University of Delhi (2021)

You should choose JNU for MA in Philosophy. It offers better learning opportunities. JNU is also the best economical choice. MA Philosophy from JNU costs only INR 654. 

JNU has wonderful History, Aesthetics, and Sociology department. This is an advantage if you want your Philosophy course to be thoroughly interdisciplinary. The residential university life of JNU is a unique learning experience in itself.

SG
Satyavan Goenka Posted On : October 6th, 2021
Completed PhD Media Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2020

More than 80% of the female students of Patna University and in the colleges under the same like Magadh Mahila College, P Women’s College, PSC, etc. They promote the education of women. Patna University is backed by the state government and is one of the 20 best universities in the country. 

  • Through scholarships, you can make the most of your tenure as a student at this university. 
  • At Patna University, there is almost zero tolerance between the faculty and the students. 
  • The few good professors in the university do not help much in giving the university a good name.
  • In the case of Jawaharlal Nehru University, however, you will be taught by some of the most qualified and experienced teachers in the country. 
  • You will not feel like you are left out. 
  • The classrooms are vibrant and interactive and the university helps you in nurturing your skills. 
  • You will guarantee yourself a good career if you choose JNU.
Categories Patna University Jawaharlal Nehru University
Placement Percentage 60-80% 80-90%
Highest CTC 16-18 LPA 22-28 LPA

The highest package offered to the students of JNU can be as high as INR 12-15 LPA. Some of the top recruiters include Oracle, Siemens, Wipro, Cognizant, Google, Amazon, etc. Comparing Patna University and JNU might not be justified, as both stand in different leagues of colleges.

I have 49.9%marks in BSc.(cs) .is it possible to get admission for MCA in jnu

GA
Gagan Arora Posted On : February 18th, 2023
Economics from Banaras Hindu University (Graduated 2018)

Applicants can check the eligibility criteria for JNUEE MCA below:

  • Candidates should have a Bachelor's degree in any discipline
  • Candidates should have adequate competence in Mathematics
  • Their pattern of Education should have been 10+2+3 pattern
  • Candidates must have a minimum of 55% in Bachelor's degree.

According to the eligibility criteria, the minimum marks for the qualifying degree should not be less than the aggregate of 55% marks for all unreserved category candidates. For OBC-NCL there is a 10% marks relaxation and for SC/ST/PWD candidates, the minimum pass mark is required. Also, there is no age limit to apply for this course. Looking at your profile and your graduation score of 49.9% does not seem very promising as it does not align with the required criteria. So unless you belong to a reserved category, it is almost impossible for you to get admission to JNU for MCA.

How are the placements at JNU?

A
Anonymous Posted On : June 16th, 2025

There are campus placement but very less in frequency. The placements for a language course depends on market demand that fluctuates very often for French language. There is absolute placements for Japanese and Chinese language while Korean and French is in between. Well students getting placed after degree is not more than 40-50% but 100% students get work through freelancing. You can do work on freelancer, tourist guide or choose the ultimate path - do your masters, PhD and become a professor, this is the ultimate placement and nowadays private schools teach another language to student, so graduates have plenty of opportunities in teaching. I will teach French in some college or Private school -pay scale is good for that ranging from 45000-70000.

How is the faculty at JNU?

A
Anonymous Posted On : June 16th, 2025

The class size is around 45 students and there are 4 teachers for one batch including 1 PhD scholar. so the faculty to student ratio is good. Faculty seems very intuitive to teach. There are 2 sessionals and one end semester exam and you have to pass in one sessional to attend End semester exams. Marking is grade based and exams toughness varies from medium to high level actually it depends on how much you learnt.
