M.A Economics

Hello Sachin, I think I have answered a similar question recently. M.A. Or M.Sc. In Eco. It's actually a Shakespearean dilemma. But practically after speaking to many prospective employers, I can say with certainty that it does not make much of a difference. Your PG in Economics only matters. That's all.

Hello Sachin, There are, of course, varied opinions on this subject. But after interacting with many emoyers, I can state with certainty that M.Sc. Has not much of an advantage over M.A. In economics. So, choose the path wisely based on your likes and dislikes.

Basically M.A. and M.Sc. are not much different. The college decides the syllabus so both course can be same. I can't exactly tell the difference between M.A. and M.Sc. Economics until I see the syllabus. Hence, again, all prospects are decided by the authority in question. It is up to the employer that how much salary they offer.

Hi Sandeep, You can opt for any of the following distance learning universities:
1. IGNOU
2. Delhi University
3. Mumbai University
4. Osmania University
5. Nalanda Open University
6. Panjab University.

 M.A. in Economics is a Post Graduate degree that can be done by any aspirant with an undergraduate degree whereas M.Sc. Economics is a Post Graduate Academic degree course that can be accomplished by an aspirant with a Bachelor of Science degree. M.A. Economics focuses on the study of economics as a discipline at an advanced level whereas M.Sc. Economics focuses on the study of scientific principles in the field of economics. The job opportunities, job profiles as well as the salary packages offered for an M.Sc. In Economics graduate is better than that of an M.A. In Economics graduate.

Dear Sachin,
Choosing between M.A. and M.Sc. in economics, you are to see the course contents whether both or which one is with thesis. Go for post graduation with thesis so that scope for doing Ph.D. is kept open. However, Masters in Economics has a bright career prospect as well as salary if projected in befitting way. For better life I mean happiness - which is required to be dragged out from your own resource that is from your mind. That's a separate chapter - and I think I'm not the right one to discuss on it.
Best wishes.

JNUEEE is the exam that is conducted for admission.

Hello Kavita,
Both these subjects are good choices for doing PG. However from the perspective of landing a job, I think economics will beat history. This is so since it has many applications and tremendous opportunities are available in different fields to experts in this field. Be it personal finance, be it companies, as advisory, etc. while history has limited scope of teaching or few government jobs. Hence I would like to advise you that you should take economics.
