Econometrics and Micro both shouldn't be a problem at all. ISI D is the undisputed leader in Game theory in India. ISI K is perhaps the best in Microeconomic theory (Social Choice, Industrial Organization, things of that nature).

Course structures are 90% same (the 10% I am keeping to account for differences between the teaching style of the individual professors). On paper, they are 100% same, but things rarely turn out as they are on paper.

You will definitely get the same Game Theory courses at ISI K as one would get at ISI D. The difference would be only due to the faculty and their particular teaching styles. All the faculty at both places are basically at the top of their games. So don't worry too much about it.

The thing is, even if the final dissemination of the course differs between ISI D and ISI K, firstly, we can't say which one will be ultimately better FOR YOU. And secondly, if ISI D does indeed turn out to be better (there is no reason ex-ante why this should be the case), will you give up your admission offer at ISI K?

I wouldn't if I were you.
