The Master of Business Economics programme is a two year, full time course offering dual specialization to the students. It emphasizes on application of academic knowledge of economics towards adding value to businesses. MBE bridges the gap between pure economics and business administration by ensuring students have a firm footing in theory and the ability and vision to apply their knowledge to business.

Students have a compulsory and strong grounding in fundamentals of micro and macro economics and quantitative techniques - business statistics. These coupled with specializations in the fields of quantitative techniques/ finance/ marketing/ HRA systems & operations/ regional & transport economics/ applied environmental economics allow students to apply the basics of theory to areas of significance in the real world of business.

Unique offerings by the department (Industrial economics - teaching students to basics of structure-conduct-performance paradigm; basics of transfer pricing; M&As etc, Economics of services - study of growing importance of the service sector in modern economies across the world; detailed study of four major global services, Economics of environment and natural resources management - schooling students in contemporary practices such as carbon credits) make the business economist stand out in the crowd.

Assignments requiring analyzing data from source such as the World Bank/ IMF etc, case studies, presentations and other such methods of internal assessment ensure students get maximum opportunity to apply what they learn in solving simulations of real life problems. These also ensure students get to exercise their creativity and learn to perform under deadlines and in team settings. The two months of rigorous summer training undertaken by students guarantee they enter the corporate world fully geared to contribute from the word go.                                                                                                                                                                                                             Top
