Respected Faculty Members,

I have graduated with a Bachelor's in Economics (Hons.) with Statistics as a subject and I am really confused whether should I go for MBA or MSQE (MS Quantitative Economics) program at ISI Kolkata &amp; Delhi. The MBA option that I am mentioning is majorly from the New IIMs, XIMB and other Tier-2 B-Schools which when compared to the MSQE program at ISI Kolkata &amp; Delhi are far behind considering the batch size, placement figures, portfolio of companies visiting the campus and brand value. On top of that there is 'Zero Fees' at ISI (both Delhi and Kolkata) and students are paid stipends to study there. Kindly guide me in this matter. Thank you.

Hi Majumdar,no doubt MSQE is an outstanding course if you are into all the quantitative work and genuinely interested in Economics as a whole.The fees is an added advantage here.Keep your thought process in a simple way.if you want to get into roles like Quantitative analysis, risk analysis,deeply research oriented work.. choose MSQE if you want a general MBA role like Consluting,sales&marketing...choose MBA.what ever the decision you choose..make sure that you are taking it with a clear mind!
