Life at JNU

4.3Helpful

Likes

Political environment is very enlightening and helps students shape opinions and develop a deeper understanding of the society.
Academic excellence- A lot many professors are graduates from world class universities including MIT and Havard. Hence they try to maintain their standard of teaching similar to those institutions.

Dislikes

The world here in too utopian. This place doesn't feel like the real world.
The professors are not very understanding if you are going into corporate or preparing for some civil service exam. They would rather have you do a PhD

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is updated in the best way possible. They teach you what not a lot of universities teach. They try to keep the syllabus relevant to the most recent scenarios. For example they wouldn't teach you the standard textbooks of macro and micro rather they suggest research papers. This kind of curriculum works best if one wants to get into a PhD program abroad.

Magic which is real

4.2Helpful

Fee Structure And Facilities:

The fee here is very nominal. The concept here is to be inclusive even tot he poorest people. Apart from entrance fee we just have to pay 100-200 per semester for college and 2000-3000 for mess bill. Expect for this there is no other cost which would trouble students. It is a student friendly structure

JNU: 4 Answered Questions

How do I go about choosing between JNU and DSE for MA Economics?

Salini RoyM.A. Economics, Jawaharlal Nehru University (2018)

Both the courses are distinct from one another.

At DSE, they train you rigorously in mathematics. And this is an important part of your journey but that is about the only part DSE focuses on. Economic theory at DSE will give you an edge over a lot of other institutions and get your foot in the door inside a lot of big names in finance.

Now coming to JNU, they don’t give a lot of emphasis on Maths but they make sure you read a lot more than you will read at DSE. This means you build a well-rounded view of the world and how economies function. This is a good thing as it will help you very much in mainstream research and things like journalism where you need to know a lot of things.

Also, at JNU reading thoroughly is a part of the curriculum which is not the same in DSE. With the curriculum at JNU, you will discover different schools of thought and learn to think for yourself.

Overall, choosing JNU will be better.

How should I prepare for MA Economics entrances for JNU and DSE in 45 days?

Disha Dey,M.A. Economics, Delhi School of Economics (2016)

Preparing for MA Economics entrances for JNU and DSE will need immense concentration and dedication. You will need to prioritize to keep everything in balance. Here are some things you can go through:

The core subjects include Mathematics, Statistics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics. Select any 3 out of these 5 subjects which you feel are your strengths.
Revise the basics from your graduation notes and practice past year exam papers.
For the subjects you feel you are weaker in, revise the basics. Do not spend too much time on them.
Practice questions from past years.
Analyse the topics in which you are lagging behind and try to read those in detail. You can also skip some topics too.
For Statistics, focus more on Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Discrete and Continuous Random Variables.
DSE requires a mathematical approach and proper concentration. So practice past year papers and do not forget concepts.

The books you can refer to are: Dornbush and Blanchard for Macroeconomics. Hal Varian, Nicolson, and Pyndick for Microeconomics. Hammond and Chiang for Maths. SC Gupta and Miller for Statistics and finally Gujarati for Econometrics.

What are the placements after an MA in economics from JNU?

Ujoini GhoseM.A. Economics, Jawaharlal Nehru University (2018)

Economics offers many career options. Having a master’s degree in Economics from JNU will offer you many placement opportunities. Here are some of the career paths that you can choose after the completion of your degree.

Quite a few companies visit the JNU campus every year to recruit students in data analyst and research analyst profiles. The average package offered in the placement drive is 9 LPA. However, not all students get placement offers. So, you want to work in a data incentive profile, it’s better to go for institutes like DSE, ISI, IGIDR, etc.
Many students chose to pursue higher education. You can do M.Phil or integrated M.Phil-P.hD. JNU is a great option for pursuing higher studies in Economics. After completing your degree, you can teach and continue research.
You can appear for civil service examinations.
If you want to work in research domain but are not necessarily willing to pursue a P.hD, you can join think tanks. But you should keep in mind that getting into credible think tanks is not easy.
You also have the option to take examinations for RBI and EXIM Bank. A background in Economics is a must for these examinations.

No matter what you choose to do, the competition is quite hard. So, you will have to work accordingly.

How do I crack JNU MA economics with specialization in world economy entrance without coaching

Deepika Sinhastudied at Jawaharlal Nehru University

Self-study is the best tool to score well in examinations. Since JNU is the dream institute for most students, the competition level is very high, but you can crack it with strong determination and dedication. If you are good at the basics and theories that you studied at graduation, then half the job is done. Try to solve the previous year's question paper, which is available on the official website of JNU.
