To begin with a comparison, both institutions are vastly different. The curricula, the course structures, the admission requirements at the institutes are quite unique. These factors depend on the kind of crowd at the university.

These were a few examples of the type of variety in curriculum one experiences at Ashoka University, and it's embedded in all of their programs. Although the administration is not very amiable. My friends at IIT HSEE face a similar issue with the administration and the courses are not as varied either.
The final decision is yours. You should choose based on what is the outcome you want from your degree.
Ashoka University and NMIMS Mumbai have excellent economics and finance programs. Before choosing, evaluate the differences between the two.
Ashoka University is a young institution known for its creative and multidisciplinary curriculum. Its BSc Economics and Finance program teaches students economic theory, financial markets, and quantitative and analytical abilities. The program emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving, which are useful in many occupations.
However, NMIMS Mumbai has long offered undergraduate finance programs. Its BSc Finance program teaches students about financial markets, investment analysis, and corporate finance, as well as how to flourish in these disciplines. Internships and industry projects emphasize experiential learning.
Ashoka University or NMIMS Mumbai depends on your job goals and preferences. Ashoka University offers a more multidisciplinary and innovative education. NMIMS Mumbai is great for practical skills and industrial exposure.
NMIMS B.Sc Finance could be better for the following reasons:
The Political Science Department at both Ashoka University and Jadavpur University is quite good.
Ashoka University offers different branches of Political Science as honors courses. It has a wonderful group of faculty which include graduates or PhDs from ivy league colleges. The university also offers a choice to pursue a fourth year of undergraduate, which is a requirement for most of the good universities abroad.
Jadavpur University is an old well-reputed university and the department of international relations of JU is one of the best in the country. The infrastructure is quite good at JU.

Yes. Ashoka University offers an MA in Economics, English and Liberal Studies.
The Master of Arts in Economics and English are 2- year long four-semester programs. The first-year course fee for the master of arts programs is 4.8 lakh. The admission is done on the basis of the candidates’ score in the entrance exam conducted by the university.
The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies is a one year program only available for the students who have graduated with a diploma in Liberal Studies from the Young India Fellowship. You also need to be accepted by a faculty member to work on a specific research project as a graduate assistant. Students, with the help of a supervisor, design their own curriculum. The program is highly interdisciplinary.
Admission at Ashoka comprises three steps: Application Round, Interview Round and Document Verification. Ashoka University considers the candidate's personality traits, extracurricular activities and overall academic performance for admission which is extremely competitive. The interview round is unpredictable and quite difficult as well. Admission to Ashoka University cannot be assured by any set of rules. Candidates are judged on their critical thinking, clarity of thought and creativity during the interview rounds. Important steps in the process include completing the application and fulfilling the university's admission requirements. The admission requirements are subject to change, so it's best to contact the admissions office or visit the university's official website to find out the most recent details.
