I was placed in the waiting list for CDS and I got a call from CDS today regarding the admission. I have already  enrolled in Hyderabad Central University and have started my classes here. It would be really helpful if any one can help me decide whether to stay here or opt for CDS.
I'm interested in academics and not looking for a future in a corporate sector, however I am also inclined towards Govt Organisations or think tanks. As such I have been collecting information about CDS and from what I've heard  because it is an M.A Applied Economics course, it somehow narrows down my scope in studying concrete Economic theory and relies more on practical application(not to mention that is essentially what we should be concerned about :P). Also just because it says "Centre for Development Studies" does it mean it'll be concentrating on Development eco more?.Also facultywise I cant seem to find much difference in the designation of professors, but the class strength in Hyderabad is much higher than CDS. Any helpful suggestions are welcome.. Thank you (sorry for the long note :p).
