Writer's pictureMA ECONOMICS ENTRANCE EXAM

South Asian University

SAU offers MA in Development Economics. The strength of the class is only 30 with 15 Indian students and 15 students from SAARC countries.

Once you are thorough with the syllabus you studied in your graduation, you need to start solving past papers as they generally repeat many questions every year.


PYQ solutions :


SAU focuses more on Development economics. You will find many questions from mathematics and statistics but they just ask the basics.

Important topics you need to cover from mathematics are:

  1. Matrices and determinants (specially the properties)

  2. Differentiation

  3. Integration

  4. Quadratic Equations

  5. Linear inequality

  6. Relation and functions

  7. Limits

No need to worry about Micro, macro, maths and stats if you are also preparing for JNU and DSE. Just focus on Development Eco and few topics from International Eco.


Important topics from Development Economics:

  1. Lewis Model of Economic Development (1954)

  2. Fei Ranis Model

  3. Big Push Theory - Rosenstein Rodan

  4. Critical Minimum Effort Theory - Harvey Leibenstein

  5. Nelson's theory of Low Income (1956)

  6. Vicious Circle of Poverty - Nurkse

  7. Rostow's Stages of Economic Growth

  8. Dependency Theory

  9. Hirshman Theory of Unbalanced Growth

  10. Harris Todaro Model (1970)

  11. Inequality - Lorenz curve, axioms of inequality

  12. Poverty - absolute and relative poverty, measures of poverty

After going through all this and solving past year papers, try solving jnu past papers as well.

Hope it helps.
