Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Has a lot of new age courses like MS Excel, Python and Data Science. It prepares you fairly well for roles like Data Analyst, Financial Modelling, etc. Areas for improvement include optimising the curriculum load as per the students. Two internals (one after a month after sem starts, second a few weeks before the end sem) and the end sem. I feel the end sem is relatively easier due to the preparation we endure for the internals.

Fees and Financial Aid

Non-refundable admission fees: Rs. 5000 (one time) Tuition fees: Rs. 110,000/Yr (for General and other categories) | Rs. 88,000 (for SC/ST) Infrastructure Development fees: Rs. 60,000/Year No financial aid available.

Campus Life

2.5

Fests are mostly cultural on campus - around October, we celebrate Onam on campus and during August, we have a Fresher's Party and around April, we have a Farewell. All other festivities are also celebrated on campus. All books relevant to the curriculum and beyond are available in the library. All classrooms have the basic infrastructure - a whiteboard, projector, air conditioning and a microphone system. The seating is individual. There is a ground where students engage in sports such as football and cricket as per their whims. During the winters, badminton and volleyball is also played as the nets are set up. There is also a table tennis table set up. The active clubs include - the Eco-Fin Society, the Literary Society, the Cultural Cell.

Admission

I did not apply to any other college. No - I only applied here. The admission process includes an entrance test called MSEET. The eligibility criteria is that you need to have Maths in your 10+2 and must have above 65% in your 10+2 scores aggregate.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty to student ratio is around 1:13. Barring some, faculties are mostly interactive and are fairly approachable. Dr. Gopal Krishna Roy - a gem of a faculty, is very patient and teaches in a very structured manner. Dr. Naveen Srinivasan - also the dean of the programme, is a master at what he does best - storytelling and macroeconomics. Dr. Zareena Begum I - fairly irregular and she doesn't teach well. Two internals and one end sem. Difficulty depends on the faculty taking the course. Endsems tend to be easier. On an average, 4-5 students flunk in each paper, each semester. The course curriculum is a mix of traditional theory like Linear Algebra, Micro, Macro and practical subjects like Data Science, MS Excel.

Madras School of Economics - [MSE], Bachelor of Arts [BA] {Hons.} (Economics)
Reviewed on Sep 17, 2024(Enrolled 2024)

Course Curriculum Overview:

Well the course provides almost everything which is needed and available. This is not a normal economics course as it involves statistics,python, core math and also dives into data science. This allows the students to explore various subjects and can choose which is their best fileld. The curriculum overall is very rigorous and intense but you can crack it if you study regularly. About the frequencies of the examinations, we have 2 internal examinations and 1 end semester examination. I can guarantee that this course is super rigorous but im not sure if i would necessarily say that the course is "practical" and it helps us in the real word. I cannot comment on the practicality of the courses. The exams are not super difficult and its moderate. Getting more than 90% can be challenging although clearing the paper won't be an impossible task.
