Testimonials

Santanu Sengupta

Head – Treasury Economics and Strategy, RIL

We have had a very good experience with a student from MDAE who has been working with us over the past three years. Practical exposure is what differentiates MDAE students, and we observed that she was able to close the gap between academia, and real-life faster than fresh graduates from other renowned institutes. MDAE is doing a stellar job in preparing candidates for the job market.

Mr DK Joshi

(Chief Economist Crisil Ltd)

“With sound training in economic concepts, practical experience and exposure to real-world issues. MDAE students appeared well prepared for the job market.”

Dr. Reuben Abraham

(CEO & Senior fellow at IDFC Institute)

"We had an excellent experience working with a student from the MDAE. Unlike most, he had an extraordinary curiosity and a willingness to learn and place textbook economics in their historical and political context, which itself involved digging into 500 years of political history. Based on this experience of working with him, we have made him an offer to join us full-time once he graduates from MDAE"

Gargi Kamath

Alumn MDAE

The educational curriculum at MDAE, which focused on theoretical foundations and its relevance in understanding a series of economic phenomena helped me gain a grounding for the research interests. The opportunity to intern at a data analysis firm, and the guidance which I have received regarding presenting oneself as a prospective employee are some of the valuable experiences MDAE has offered me.

Aditi Satpute

Student MDAE

Studying at MDAE has added value to my life. One of the most important thing that I learnt at MDAE is how to think analytically. The course structure here is very rigorous and it helped me learn about real world economics and not just theoretical knowledge. Professors here are very helpful and they make sure that you understand each and every concept.
