The verdict
Strong fit
Hans Raj delivers an elite DU pedigree (A++, NIRF #12) at a fraction of private-university costs. With an 80% placement rate, a ₹8 LPA average package, and recruiters ranging from the Big 4 to Goldman Sachs and the World Bank, the ROI is undeniable. The curriculum is rigorous — advanced econometrics, trade theory, and a full dissertation — so come prepared to grind. The catch? Only 62 seats and a competitive CUET PG cutoff. If you clear that hurdle, this is one of the smartest MA Economics moves in India.
