ISI PEA 2015 discussion

anyone knows about the average salary at isi delhi for msqe? i might not clear peb...thinking of taking up some job and trying next year with good preparation

[Rajat]

guys ! 27 , 25 ... are you talking about the number of questions one needs to get correct for clearing cut-off ???
That seems to be a tall order

[onionknight]

Last year's cut off(83) could be reached by doing 18 questions correctly (72) and leaving 12 unanswered (84). Even if you attempted all the questions, you'd need only 21 correct answers. So I don't think you'd need 25 correct answers to get through PEA this time either.

did u do IS-LM qsn?

[onionknight]

No

guys i hve a job which shld be accepted in this week.....im confused whether to wait for the isi results or not...i attempted 28 questions in pea with around 5 wrong and 5 questions in peb with 2 complete 2 partial and 1 is completely wrong.....

Even if you get through the exam, you have the interview to crack. I think taking the job would be a safe option, if you see yourself as a job person. Otherwise, there's still JNU and DSE to crack if you are set on research.

I'd say not putting all your eggs in ISI basket would be a safe option, although you have quite a good chance of getting called for an interview i think

try harder for DSE. Yeah, ISI would have been best but if you are really interested in studying economics, then studying in DSE, JNU, IGIDR can give you same satisfaction and career opportunities.

i didnt apply for any of them...actually being an engineer the quantititative part of msqe is the main reason for applying ...donno how its in dse,jnu

DSE is considered equally good. U shud have applied for it. Let the bygone be bygone , u still have a good chance to crack written. But I wud say consider ur back up

even if i couldnt make it this year i'll try my best nxt year.....what kind of career path u guys have in mind    after msqe? i see some people in linkedin as VPs with around 5 yrs of exp after msqe and also as associates in goldmansachs

Did anyone do the consumption smoothing question in peb?
For a)delta was 0
But for b how did u guys show the bias towards future consumption and present consumption.. Did u guys just draw the optimal point above y2,to show that c2>y2 and hence  bias towards future consumption ? And likewise for the present consumption part ??

whats the gap between the shortlist and interview?

[amalgamateking]

What does this sentence mean? What shortlist? What gap?

[amalgamateking]

It wasnt max(x1,x2)+max(x3,x4)..it was min(x1,x2)+min(x3,x4)

[onionknight]

Yep.
