Academic Programme of Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research(I) M.Sc. IN ECONOMICS This is a two-year programme, which would impart students with a rigorous and hands-on training in Economics, with special emphasis on analytical and problem solving skills as well as exposure to emerging policy issues at the national and international levels. This programme involves a successful completion of either 16 courses or 14 courses and a Masters thesis. It is aimed at all those with necessary quantitative prerequisites who would like to be grounded in economic analysis. (II) M.Phil. and Ph.D. IN DEVELOPMENT STUDIES The M.Phil. programme is a two year programme, designed for those who would like to acquire a certain level of analytical and applied skills but who are not keen on pursuing a Ph.D. degree. The Ph.D. programme is designed to create academic researchers as well as professionals who are capable of conducting policy analysis, relating to national and global economic and development issues, in a quantitative and inter-disciplinary manner. While an interdisciplinary approach is encouraged, the programme lays somewhat larger emphasis on economics to provide an integrating framework within which various development issues can be addressed. Ph.D. students are expected to submit their dissertations within four years of joining the Institute. Both M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes involve successful completion of course work as well as submission of dissertation. Both the M.Sc. and M.Phil./Ph.D. stream students who would like to register for a Ph.D. degree need to pass a set of comprehensive examinations, in addition to the prescribed course and grade requirements. |
