The verdict

Good fit

If you want a rock-solid, affordable MA in Economics with serious academic cred (NIRF #17, NAAC A++) and a direct pipeline to public-sector banks, RBI, and policy research, UoH is a steal at ₹30K total. Just be ready to crack CUET-PG or the university entrance—this isn’t a backup-option program.
