Programme-Overview:

An MA in Economics aims to provide students with a deep understanding of the economic forces and principles that shape the world. The study of economics equips students with the analytical tools to comprehend how resources are allocated, how markets function, and how economic policies impact societies. By understanding economic theories and their practical applications, students can evaluate current economic conditions, policies, and trends. The present economic environment is shaped by historical economic decisions and events; thus, understanding this historical context is essential for making informed decisions. Economics helps students analyze the cause-and-effect relationships between various economic factors, enabling them to forecast future economic conditions and develop strategies to address economic challenges. This understanding of economics is crucial for addressing present-day economic issues at both the national and international levels accurately and objectively. The knowledge gained from studying economics empowers students to contribute to policy-making, improve economic outcomes, and lead productive and efficient lives.
