The MA in Economics degree offered by DU is through DSE since it is the Economics department of Delhi University.

I have a friend who completed his MBA from the Delhi School of Economics. This answer is based on his opinions about why colleges with better ROI like DSE and JBIMS fail to compete with FMS. He has listed a few reasons for the lack of popularity of such B-schools:
It is because of these strong factors that B Schools like JBIMS fail to match the level of popularity enjoyed by FMS.
Here are some of the reasons that should be mentioned:
DSE doesn’t offer bachelor's in Economics. However, most other colleges under DU offer BA in Economics.
BBE is a more professional course and focuses on the application in business scenarios. While BA Eco covers the theoretical aspects of Economics. If you want a career in academics or want to pursue research in the field, BA Eco will be the right choice.
Delhi School of Economics MBA IB program is excellent. It is a specialized course that was designed to meet the global business demands and operations. The career outcome is excellent in this field. Delhi School of Economics placements 2020 had witnessed an average CTC of INR 10.57 LPA. Students of MBA IB are recruited in marketing, finance, consulting, and business development profiles.
In terms of faculty, crowd, and placements, IIFT Delhi and FMS are comparable and better than the Delhi School of Economics.
IIFT is located above FMS in the campus hostel in terms of infrastructure. In terms of ROI, FMS is far ahead of IIFT because the course fee is significantly lower with nearly identical placement prospects.
During FMS Delhi placements 2022, the highest package offered was INR 58 LPA. Prior to 2020 and 2021, the highest packages offered during FMS Delhi placements were INR 58.6 LPA and INR 58.8 LPA, respectively. In 2022, the average package offered by IIFT during MBA (IB) placements was INR 25.16 LPA. The average package at the Delhi School of Economics is INR 13.94 LPA, the highest package is INR 32 LPA, and the median package is INR 12.50 LPA for MBA, as per 2022 placement reports.
Ph.D. is different from other degrees in which you learn and take exams. During your Ph.D. you need a research guide who takes an interest in your work and is involved in active research in the same field as you.
Unless your guide is active in research, they can not guide you. Here research refers to publishable research in good journals.
Your field of research will determine the better option out of the two to pursue your Ph.D. in Economics. If say, you wish to work on Marxism/Communism or related topics, CESP JNU is the right choice for you. You will find ample assistance in JNU.
If you wish to work in Micro Theory such as on Contract theory or Industrial Organization, DSE will be the right option. There are more faculty members in DSE than CITD JNU who work in these areas.
If you wish to work on DSGE literature ( Macro), the guide will exist as a formality and you will be on your own for the most part. This field of research is not pursued by most in India and you will mostly have to rely on yourself.
Also, if you wish to work in the corporate after your Ph.D. , join DSE as it offers very good placements. JNU does not offer on campus placements. The economics at JNU though, is very enriching. There you will be exposed to a variety of subjects, debates, etc.
You must choose between JNU and DSE for your Ph.D. Economics, based on your personal preference and your field of research.
