M.A Economics

For an engineering student, it is quite tough to go for Masters in Economic as in whole academic period, students study PCM and no economics, but in Master's degree, a student has to get in-depth knowledge in this subject and needs an introduction to economics before joining MA in Economics. As Economics is a complex subject so after a small introduction to an economics student can get some base for the syllabus and understand the syllabus easily. So, it is beneficial to do MA in economics as less engineering student do this and there is a scope in the finance field, industries, and banking & marketing field.
MA in sociology is the study of social relation, social satisfaction, social interaction and culture. So it is quite easy for a B.Tech student to study MA Sociology rather than MA Economics. A student having good knowledge and understanding can easily go through MA in Sociology. It is quite easy to score good marks in Sociology. After doing this, students can go for PhD. or M.Phil degree. Sociology student has a greater chance to qualify civil services exam or one can also apply for UGC-NET or JRE exam.
S, for engineering students, MA in Sociology is quite beneficial.
