RBI Governor, Dr. Urjit Patel at 2017-2018 Convocation
Placement Brochure 2018-2019
Economics education in India has not kept pace with developments in the workplace. There is a dearth of post-graduate programs which marry strong theoretical foundations with applied skills necessary for a rapidly globalizing economy. In particular, the Global Financial Crisis and the rise of Big Data have generated a need for a more practical education where students of economics and finance develop a new toolkit to analyze and address real-world problems. - Lord Meghnad Desai, Chairman MDAE
