I strongly agree with the last part u said. As far as placements is concerned, jnu post grads are respected in market. Go to linkedin and u will find plenty of its almuni in industry. As far as curriculum is concerned, its for sure less mathematical and unless u have a liking for theory one can avoid JNU for IGIDR. Who should choose JNU(personal opinion):

*folks with no other options(that's obvious)
*Civil Services: Its still a hot career options and if you prefer it then JNU is a must for these blokes.
*Penchant for theory but with some analysis: There are folks who don't like that much mathematics but appreciate the analysis of economic concepts.. well JNU suits them.. But, I heard from an almuni that JNU also provides mathematical subjects as optional but lack of full time faculty means the journey won't be that smooth.

Good Luck to all those who made a cut at IGIDR!

Please think carefully before choosing JNU over IGIDR because JNU is a left bastion especially the ma eco offered by SSS. The placement situation is not good either and if you want to know the state of affairs , you can go to jnu centre for economic studies and planning website (this is the centre which offers the ma eco course) . Their website has not been updated for years. The syllabus is not there, the course structure is also old and nobody can assure whether the same papers will be taught and many of the teachers whose names have been mentioned against the course have either retired or are on leave from the department sitting in the planning commission! And most importantly,some of the teachers in jnu value their economic ideologies more than mainstream economic theories.
