M.A. (General) Economics
The M.A. in Economics has been designed to expose the students to mainstream and heterodox approaches in theory, tools and techniques. The program equips the students with analytical skills to engage with conceptual and empirical dimensions of the economy, policy, polity and society. Besides the standard courses like microeconomics, macroeconomics, trade, growth, public finance and econometrics, the core courses also include classical political economy and political economy of development, which makes it a well-rounded program. The program also offers a range of optional courses that enable the student to acquire specialised knowledge in specific theoretical and applied branches of economics, like New Institutional Economics, Law and Economics, Capital Theory, Development Economics, Economics of Education, Economics of Discrimination, Health Economics, Public Policy, Transitional Economics, Urban & Transport Economics, Natural Resource and
Environmental Economics, Labour Economics, Health Economics, Financial Economics, Financial Econometrics, Time Series and so on. This programme is divided into four semesters, in which they have to do 10 compulsory and 6 optional courses. Knowledge of high school level mathematics is expected from the prospective candidates as a minimum qualification, as some of the courses have mathematical orientation.

M.A. Financial Economics
The M.A. Programme in Financial Economics has been designed to expose the students to alternative paradigms of economic and financial theories and of global financial markets. The students would also be equipped with necessary analytical tools and techniques by way of an in depth training in econometric and time series techniques, and other quantitative methods. The focus of the training would be on practical applications and hand-on experience through assignments and projects,
to enable them to competently analyse the market trends, handle big data sets to aid the decision making process. Keeping these objectives in mind, the two-year programme offers a balanced mix of core and electives along with a project to be submitted at the end of the programme. Internships with industry, banks and financial institutions would be an integral part of the programme.
