M.Sc Economics

Yes, you are eligible if you had studied economics in all 3 years of your graduation. You must have studied economics in your all semesters/years.

MBA in finance has great opportunities in India compared to economics. Tough economics is a much vast field than finance, there are not much job opportunities in this field in India.

Your options are very selective. Both of courses offer good career prospects. You can choose either of any courses on the basis of inclination against subjects and interest. However, you can prefer as (a) M.Sc. In Economics from respective institutes or (b) MBA finance. For more details, kindly visit https://shiksha.com/MBA ORMSc.
All the best.

Hi Anup, These are some renowned distance education universities from where you can pursue Masters in economics:
IGNOU. Panjab University. Acharya Nagarjuna University
Bharati Vidyapeeth.

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.

Depends on your state and marks in 10th and 12th. State provides scholarships to needy students and bright students and also on the basis of caste. Check with your college, they have all the information about scholarships available and they will help you apply for it.

 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.
