Entrance Preview

I took an independent exam conducted by Madras School of Economics,Score wasn't declared by the Institute. I took MSE because that was the only college I got through.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is Industry oriented, They offers you subjects that are high in demand in Analytics. Basic and Advance Time Series, Basic and Advance Econometrics, Risk, Stochastic Finance, Micro and Macro Economics, Financial Economics, Computational Programming, Mathematics .

Internships Opportunities

I got into NCAER for internship and that was via my own source. Very few companies visits campus for internship but they pay well. Average internship package is around 20,000.

Placement Experience

4.5

80 percent of my batch got placed, As the courses are industry oriented, people generally get placed off campus also.Citi Bank, IBM, TCS, HP, Ford, Target Retail, 24x7 are the few regular recruiter at campus.

College Events

There were lot inter college debate competition that happened when I was in second year. Annual days is generally celebrated at a rich scale. You can see lot of high profile people like Dr Kelkar coming to campus for delivering lecture or presenting research findings.Biggest event at college is the convocation.

Fees and Financial Aid

Two merit Scholarship of INR 2500 is awarded to the student of all courses. Unfortunately I was also a merit scholarship holder .

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Our hostel was the best place and the mess was the worst in the college, there was no warden, you can go out at anytime but I have heard that things has changed now. College management is little strict.Fooding was the biggest issue at our but now the caterer has changed so that is not a problem anymore.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network of Madras School of Economics is way too bad, You yourself will have to put efforts to get in touch with seniors. I am in touch with lot of my seniors, super seniors, super super seniors .

Exam Structure

If you like chill environment with very less pressure for exams then Madras School of Economics is the best place. College gives you enough gaps in exams to study.Madras School of Economics is not like IITs where you might have to appear for two exams in a day, Its a very chilled out place.

Helpful Internships with Practical Exposure

Likes

Experienced and supportive faculty who guide well in both theory and practicals. They are approachable for doubts and research guidance.
Well equipped chemistry labs, library and clean campus. Good infrastructure for science students with modern instruments and facilities.
Safe women-only campus with good campus life. Regular seminars, workshops and events help in overall personality and career development.

Dislikes

Being a girls college, exposure to mixed-gender events and industry networking is less compared to co-ed colleges.

Course Curriculum Overview:

It covers all core Chemistry subjects with good lab work. I chose this course for strong academics and research scope. The syllabus helps for higher studies and competitive exams like NET, SET. Practicals help in real applications. Exams are held each semester. Difficulty is moderate and most students clear easily,More workshops and industry training can be added for improvement.

Worst colleges in Chennai -WCC

Likes

Exams can be usually easy as this is a five year integrated course
Some faculties are friendly as they themselves are fresh graduates

Dislikes

But most faculties come off very rude and disrespectful
The office people are not at all approachable
The student login has so many glitches which cause delays in downloading of hallticket

According to me, there is no bad opinion about my department. But some other department people told there is some lack of knowledge from department lecturers. Because they are very new to the lecturer job.

BA Economics hons MSE review

I wrote CUET but i did not apply to DU because of many reasons out of which delay was a reason. But then i compared the syllabus of DU and MSE and the rigor of MSEs syllabus cannot be matched with any other colleges i applied. I got admitted in few of the local colleges which i kept as a backup, but the staff lore and the syllabus is not as good as MSE. I did not apply to a lot of other colleges. The admission process to MSE is simple. You need to register for MSEET and if you clear the cut off you will be called. 12th marks are not considered at all (you need to pass tho) but they require you to have applied/standard math/ statistics in class 12th. They do not require any other examinations as such. It is pretty easy to clear the examinations....Read More
