Confused over the choosing the regular MBA program or MBE?
MBA is not the only passport for the desired career in the corporate sector. The MBE programme at DU aims at blending the theoretical and practical elements of business.
The Masters’ of Business Economics or MBE programme at the Department of Business Economics, Delhi University (DU) is on a par with an MBA from a top B-school in the country. It is one of its kind run by any university in the country.

The MBE programme is an amalgamation of management, business and econometric techniques, which is quite different from the MBA programmes offered by B-schools in the country. Moreover, the MBE programme is an integrated approach to managerial studies. It provides a perfect blend of analytical, theoretical and practical aspects aimed at introducing students to the real-world mechanism.


This thread is here to serve as medium to guide you with doubts related to admission ,entrant test, course structure and anything related to the programe.

And please don't forget to mention pros and cons honestly.

[sweetgalshruti]

a) Entrance written test pattern.
This is two hours test comprising of 180 questions in

• MathematicalComprehension(basic arithemtic,algebra,calculus,basic statistics and data analysis
• logical reasoning
• awareness of indian economy and business
• english

b) GD / PI / Essay round details.
Those who are shorlisted after the exam are called in for GD and PI.A post would be sent to those candidates.
There is no essay round but this time there was personality test round where we were suppossed to speak about ourselves.

c) Weightage to different components in selection procedure (written test
+ GD/PI + Acads)
Thats not disclosed to anyone.Don't worry on things you can't change.Concentrate on preps and you would be through

d) Number of seats
There are 72 seats in all including the reservations as of now.

e) Infrastructure
Refer to the website for that.

f) North Campus / South Campus (nearby famous locations)
This is in South Campus.Nearby famous locations for what purpose?

g) How is MBE different from MBA
See it would be completely unfair to draw comparisons .Both have their own importance.Your choice depends on what you exactly want to do.MBE is more of economics.

f) Fee structure
Tuition fees for first year-Rs11361 and for the second year-Rs10736.Fee Structure is subject to change.

h) How placements justify course structure. Let me rephrase it
i) Placement figures 2009 / 2008
For placement doubts,just give us some time.The website team is working on updating the details.Kindly bear with that for a while.

j) How MBE is different from MIB & MHROD
See all three are different courses,I would rather say you go through the rules of PG.Comparison is not allowed here..
Hope that helps Revert back if you have other doubts

Dear Shruti,

Thanks for giving us zoom view, but it would be wonderful on your part if you could please guide us a bit informally being a fellow puy, rather sounding politically correct.
After all this is a platform for us to know MBE better and you to spread awareness (which MBE lacks), otherwise if you are here to write what’s there on you college website, then what’s the purpose of this thread??? Else we can know it from MBE website as well. (Please take it in correct spirit)

Please help us make informed choice, since most of us are engineers and we know very less of economics and its implications to one’s career.

Please give us a rough idea at least (if not now then do it when you are allowed to), we want a clearer picture from you, since we trust you more than your website.

I am extremely well aware of PG rules that too since long time, that’s why I am asking you for the difference rather comparison (there is a thin line you could have smartly done that), but if you are not comfortable then it’s fine. NO MORE QUESTION ON THIS.

And finally, your audience has a bigger base than you can think of and not everyone wants to take pain of going to MBE websites nuke and corner, those who do want something different from sugarcoated words there in website.

Hope to listen more from you.

Thanks.

dear you can not compare an apple with an orange .... MBE is different and mfc is different .... just like iim, fms and xat are best for mba in india in similar manner MBE from delhi university (mbe, south campus , delhi university) is best in its catogery and i think i can say same for mfc for its category....
the best advantage is its fee(all du courses for ....example mbe) ... 11336/- for first year .... so there are people from not very rich family are in mbe leaving top mba schools of india .... just because of its fee structure .... placement wise mbe performed well in 2008-09 you will get official data very soon(no dead line ) ....

First of all apologies for late reply,life is so busy you see but at the same time interesting

If i give you a rough idea about my batch,you would surprised to see that in tmy batch,majority is from non commerce.Its a good mixture of students from various backgrounds.

To compare the two courses-MBA and MBE,I had to dig out the Google for you and other aspirants
Jobs & Careers: Special supplement of The Tribune, Chandigarh, India. Career Hotline
hope this helps

Please give us a rough idea at least (if not now then do it when you are allowed to), we want a clearer picture from you, since we trust you more than your website.

The placement team is updating the website and would get back to your queries soon
