Truthfully, all the three universities, Chandigarh University, Amity and LPU do have great options for M.Sc. Economics, however if you ask me, LPU absolutely shines. The course here is based on practical exposure along with good theoretical knowledge, so it isn't just theoretical and bookish knowledge. Faculty members are all helpful and approachable and the curriculum is updated regularly to match industry needs. Plus, LPU will give you great exposure with seminars, research projects that bring placement support. The learning space that the campus environment and colleagues generated makes the overall process rich and meaningful.
