The pattern of entrance examination for M.A Economics from CESP varies from time by time.

The paper constitutes 100 marks with no negative marking and consisted of, mostly, four to five parts with the following elaboration:

1): 8 less explanatory questions with 5 marks each and some proofs too, and out of which, 6 ought to be solved

2): 30 multiple choice questions of one mark each

3): 3Elaborative questions with 10 marks each, out of which, 2 was required to be solved.

4): one 20 mark easy writing question, with a choice of 1 from 6 given topics.

The entrance exam would majorly comprises questions from 4 main economics papers and general knowledge, which are briefly explained below:

1) Statistics: . The main focus should be on Probability, Averages and Dispersion.

2) Microeconomics: The principle focus should be on utility maximization, special cases of perfect substitutes and compliments, different productions and cost functions with emphasis on their minimization exercise and profit maximization problems, different forms of competition encompassing perfect competition, monopoly, basic theory of general equilibrium, questions of allocation and Pareto optimality.

3) Mathematical Economics: focus on series, sequences, functions and relations, sets, basic calculus such as integration and differentiation. Incorporate notions of implications, quantifiers etc. in Logic.
