here I am looking for IGIDR MA ECO entrance exam Syllabus for this exam preparation so will you plz let me know from where I can collect its syllabus ??

As you want here I am giving bellow IGIDR MA ECO entrance exam Syllabus on your demand :

IGIDR MA ECO entrance exam has two stages, a computer based entrance examination and then an interview for the shortlisted candidates.

The level of the examination is in colloquial terms, “manageable”. There are four sections in the paper-

1. Comprehension, Reasoning and Analytical ability

2. Basic Mathematics

3. Economics
OR

4. Advanced Mathematics

(To pass the exam one has to pass all individual sections.)

Section 1 includes reading comprehensions, vocabulary, rearranging jumbled words, analytical reasoning etc. preparation for which can be done from any book containing these sections that one can get their hands on.

Section 2 has the 10th-12th level mathematics questions. Revising these concepts is essential because the questions are facile but at the same time convoluted if one doesnt recall the concepts (LCM/HCF, integration, limits, polynomials, relative speed etc.)

Section 3 is a better option for economics students as the questions can easily be done if one is comfortable with the undergrad syllabus.

There is nothing really to worry about the economics section, it has (mostly) direct questions from the syllabus.

Those preparing for other examinations DSE, ISI, JNU etc. shouldnt essentially need separate preparation for the IGIDR economics section.

The same practice material should suffice. However, it should be made sure that one is comfortable with the online pattern of the exam for which the sample is available on.

It is important to go through it once before the exam so that one can concentrate on solving the questions rather than struggling with the computer during the examination.


The second stage is the interview.

Here again what one needs to be sure of is her/his basics of economics. A typical interview would last for 15-20 minutes.

The first question asked in the interview is generally ones favorite subject in economics, and that then becomes the basis of the interview (so be very sure of what you want to say).

However it is not essential that they stick to your chosen subject throughout but most of their questions come from there.
