- Notes
- To comment on few posters below, I come from top notch economics department in India. People from here make it to princeton, NYU, Columbia and likes every every year and these same gusy got rejections from Purdue and similar ranked universities which were supposed to be there safe options. I made it to Boston (not great, but at least top 20 program) which is better than Purdue by all means. This just indicates that here is lot of noise in admission process and IIT / IIM are not the only institutes from where students go to top Phd programs. Also, to the poster below (teaching experience from IIM), the teaching experience in IIM - A is seriously of no use to get through a PhD program. They look for good grounding in economics and mathematics, good LOR's etc. Hard luck and best luck for other applications
