On one hand, there is a need to fill the gap between curriculum at bachelor and master degree levels. On the other, the void that even after master degree a student does not feel well-equipped to take up real challenges head-on. This is because the practical approaches and market applications are grossly missing in the curriculum, resulting in the demand-supply gap in the job market and weaker career opportunities for the youth. The field of Economics is as much an art as well as science, it deals with people, processes, and pragmatism; it also responds to the changing needs that the times offer.
