Hello Arjun,

The eligibility criteria is nothing but a graduation degree in any discipline.

There are several books, some of them are mentioned below:

Microeconomics: Hal Varian (Intermediate Microeconomics), Hal Varian Workbook, Osborne (for game theory), Nicholson and Snyder (for production theory)

Macroeconomics: Dornbusch and Fischer, O. Blanchard, Development Economics by Debraj Ray (for Solow and Harrod Domar growth models)

Econometrics and Statistics: Degroot and Schervish.

Mathematics: Sydsaeter and Hammond.

Going through the Study Material For Economics Entrance Exam For DSE, ISI MSQE, JNU, MSE, IGIDR, is recommended.

Hope this helps

Thanks man
I checked DSE's last year papers, they were filled with mathematics. I have done my BA from Punjab University with economics as my main subject. The syllabus was really different, and I have nearly all the books you have mentioned. I am going through the books at my pace, finding difficulty with mathematical economics (A.C Chiang). I need help with that.

Thank you B)
