Hello,

No, you are not eligible for admission to the M.A. Economics program at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) if you did not study Mathematics in your 12th standard. The eligibility criteria for this program require candidates to have studied Mathematics at the 10+2 level or during their undergraduate degree. Since you have a B.A. Economics degree, you may meet the qualification requirement, but the lack of Mathematics in your 12th standard makes you ineligible.

Even if you are pursuing a B.S. degree from IIT Madras, it does not fulfill the specific requirement of having studied Mathematics at the 10+2 level. Therefore, you would not be eligible for admission to the M.A. Economics program at JNU.

Hope it helps !

Hello, Yes, you can be eligible for admission to the M.A. in Economics program at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) even if you did not have Mathematics in the 12th grade, provided you meet certain criteria through your Bachelor's degree. Your B.A. in Economics and the ongoing IITM BS degree strengthen your application.

Here's a breakdown of the eligibility requirements and how your qualifications fit in:

JNU's Eligibility for M.A. Economics

JNU has two different M.A. Economics programs with slightly different eligibility criteria:

M.A. in Economics (with specialization in the World Economy) at the School of International Studies (SIS): This program strictly requires Mathematics at the 10+2 level. Therefore, you would not be eligible for this specific program.

M.A. in Economics at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning (CESP), School of Social Sciences (SSS): This is the program you are likely eligible for. The key requirements are:

• A Bachelor's degree in any discipline under the 10+2+3 pattern of education with at least 50% marks.
• While Mathematics at the 10+2 level is not mandatory, knowledge of Mathematics at the 10+2 level is expected and will be tested in the entrance examination.

Hope it's helpful to you.

Hello,

No, you likely can't get admission to JNU's MA in Economics with your current qualifications because a strong background in mathematics is a mandatory requirement. While you have a BA in Economics and are pursuing an IITM BS degree, a key criterion for JNU is a bachelor's degree with mathematics as a subsidiary subject (Economics (H) with Mathematics) or any other bachelor's degree with both economics and mathematics as subjects, along with a substantial amount of mathematics.

I hope it will clear your query!!
