MA in Economics and MA in English courses at Ashoka university

Ashoka University has invited applications for its Master’s Programmes in Economics and  English for the academic session commencing from August 2022. The Graduate programmes are two year (four-semester) long.

Eligibility criteria: All those who wish to apply for the MA in Economics programme need a recognised undergraduate degree in any discipline. They are required to appear for an online entrance examination. If the candidate clears the entrance exam, they will be invited for an online interview round. The interview round is to gauge if the candidate is suitable for the programme. There is no fee to start an application.  

For an MA in English, applicants should have completed their undergraduate degree from a recognised university or be enrolled in the final year of their study. The minimum percentage required to apply to the programme will be 55% for students from Indian universities, and a GPA of 3.0 or its equivalent from foreign universities.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an online on-the-spot essay writing test. The candidate will be given two topics to choose from at the time of writing the essay. The essay has no word limit and can be attempted with minimal preparation. The on-the-spot essay evaluates engagement with the prompt, critical thinking, clarity of thought, and creativity. Once candidates have been shortlisted from the written test, they will be called for the interview.

 Final decisions will be declared post the interview round. Candidates who are accepted into the programmes will be given the option to apply for financial aid at this stage.

Deadline: For M.A Economics and M.A English March 31 and March 4, respectively.
