This does not answer my question. My specific question is that, is it possible to persue M.sc. in economics from IIT ROORKEE THROUGH IIT JAM? In the eligibility criteria it is mentioned that the student should have one of the core subjects as mathematics. What exactly does that mean? I have completed my B.tech in ECE with 2 math courses in the first and second semester. Am I eligible for M.sc. In economics from IITR through IIT JAM ?
