Which are the best universities for MA in economics in India? Do they take any entrance exams for admission?

Some of the best colleges for pursuing MA in Economics in India are1.Delhi School of Economics -Delhi (DSE)2.Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata and Delhi (ISI) 3.Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research Mumbai (IGIDR) 4.Gokhlae Institute of Politics and Economics Pune (GIPE) 5.Jawaharlal Nehru University Delhi (JNU) 6.Madras School of Economics MadrasThe above listed institutes are some of the best institutes in India that offer courses in economics to master and generally provide degree of MA or M.S.C. Apart from the above listed colleges there are some private as well as government institutes that provide courses in MA/M.S.C in economics but the above listed are the top 6 in the nation and are very difficult to crack as they have very limited seats and their entrance require very thorough command on basics in economics, mathematics and statistics . Still if you are wondering what are the different universities you can apply in apart from these then some of them are listed below, 1.Jamia Millia Islamia - Delhi2.Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies Mumbai (NMIMS)3.Shri Ram College of Commerce Delhi (SRCC)and many other colleges from Delhi University. So, how are these 2 lists different from each other? Basically, if we research about the programs offered by each college we will quickly come to the knowledge that institutes like ISI (Delhi and Kolkata), Gokhlae Institute of Politics and Economics (Pune), IGIDR (Mumbai) and Madras School of Economics (Madras) have very exclusive courses that are only offered by specific colleges in India. For example; ISI offers MS in Quantative Economics (MSQE) or GIPE offers courses like M.S.C in Financial Economics, Agricultural Economics and also a normal M.S.C in Economics with large options in elective courses. Looking at Madras School of Economics, it offers courses like Actuarial Economics which is very different from what is provided by the other institutes in Economics in India Also, the colleges like the DSE (Delhi) and IGIDR (Mumbai) provide normal MA/M.S.C Degrees in Economics but their faculty and placement records are defining and really stand out. IGIDR (Mumbai) is governed by its parent body I.e. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and students are actively placed in RBI through this premier institute.
