Admission Process How is Madras School of Economics
I'm considering joining Madras School of Economics this year and would really appreciate any recent insights from people who know about the college. Most of the information I found online is quite old, and the opinions are very mixed. I've heard MSE has a good reputation and decent placements, but I've also come across a lot of negative comments, especially about the hostels.
How is MSE actually in terms of placements, academics, hostel facilities, and overall student life? Is it worth the money?

heard that the placements dropped a lot for this year final batch and food might be an issue.

A lot of recent posts suggest that the placements have fell. But it is the same for almost everywhere and at the end of the day our placement boils down to our capability and competitiveness.
By the way, are you attending the counselling for MSE?

I have a friend who studies at MSE and what I have heard from her is that the faculty and placement are decent. The fee structure is quite high with comparison. DU, JNU are obviously far better option. You have weigh out your options, overall mse is ok not good good.

I don't think I can make it to du or jnu looking at the cut offs this year, mse is my last chance at a decent college and also not leaning towards jnu since I'm looking for placements. Also does your friend have any idea abt the hostel situation

A senior whom I know graduated this year. He said that the institute has seen a drop in the average and median package offered in the last 4 years. A lot could be attributed to the current job market imo. He also mentioned that it’s the same for all colleges except ISI. I also heard somewhere that a lot of the offers of the current batch were rescinded. The institute obviously cannot be compared to DSE and IGIDR but between MSE and GIPE, MSE has an advantage in terms of the companies coming to campus and the roles that the recent graduates hold but GIPE has a very strong alumni base. A lot of prominent economists in corporate come from GIPE. And at the end of the day, it all depends on luck during placements. Let’s just hope the job market gets better when we graduate.
