There's a famous quip in DSE that surviving DSE is much tougher than getting into it, which itself has become immensely competitive recently. But despite this, the experience is very enriching and satisfying, studying from the best faculty and with the brightest students. If one loves economics and has a penchant for logic, then DSE is the place to be.

One of the best part about studying in DSE is the return on investment. The annual fees is around 8000 and there are various scholarships awarded to students purely on the basis of merit. It's almost impossible to find such a quality of education offered anywhere in the world at such low fees. This ensures that no student is denied world class education merely because of want of money.
