Roger that, Akash!
Assumed the same.

[Eco16]

Same here.. Assumed negative marking therefore didn't take any chances.

[Eco16]

In sis international trade and development was easy but questions on statistics were not expected.

[nishtha92]

There were two exact questions repeated from last year paper in SIS. Do you guys know how many seats are there for both SSS and SIS?

[Eco16]

For sss, there are 77 seats but no idea how many are there for general category

For sis, i think only 17 seats for general category.

[nishtha92]

Only 17..that's too less. Thanks anyways.

There was one question in SIS paper in which we had to find the point of inflection. How did you guys solve it?
And what answer were you getting?

I used the double derivative.

if  f"(x)= 0 (that means that the curvature changes) , which means it is a point of inflection. Can't recall my answer now. :/ What did you get?

[Eco16]

I got 6 and 3.6.
What did you get?

[nishtha92]

Same. 6 and 3.6

[nishtha92]

What answer did you guys get for the black market question? How does the consumer surplus change?

[Kajol]

The consumer surplus will decrease by 14.

After half supply has been destroyed, would the price fall to 2 or will it remain 4?

Yup got the same.
What about convergence one what did you get?

[SM]

So for the convergence one, according to Solow, it means that if countries have the same steady state historically, then they converge, but if they don't have the same rate then they don't.
Convergence, is in contemporary times, conditional convergence. Countries converge to their own steady states, which is determined by population, saving.

[Eco16]

Does this mean countries converge but they have different per capita income.?

[Qwerty]

Same here.
But I seriously think we were at a loss because at many places the invigilators did confirm about no negative markings. Given the highly competitive cutoffs that JNU has (I couldn't make it last year by 0.33 marks), I have written to the jnu admission body ([e-mail]) and asked them to look into the matter and do some justice with the poor lot who weren't informed the same
I guess even you guys could write to them along with your center details.

 

[Eco16]

How much cutoff are you guys expecting?

[amoleco2016]

68-72

[Eco16]

Even I am expecting that .
How was your last question that essay type question went?
