If you have a non-finance background, it is recommended that you begin your preparation for the JBIMS MSc finance interview at least 4-5 months prior to your interview for the MSc Finance course. You must be sure about your interest in finance, as M.Sc Finance is a very core course. If you have a finance background, you are expected to have a deeper understanding of the points mentioned below. Along with knowing the "whats", you must also know the "whys". In terms of preparation, it is important for you to: Be well-informed about the current market scenario and keep track of SENSEX, NIFTY, gold pricing, INR/USD, and oil pricing. Have a good understanding of the current Indian economy, including its GDP, inflation, and the factors that impact it. Stay updated with the RBI rates, including Repo, Reverse Repo, CRR, and SLR, and know their meanings. Be aware of the current global scenario, such as Demonetisation, BREXIT, and Trump. Consider the question "Why MSc Finance?" as the first and foremost point of focus in your preparation, even if you have a good academic background. You may still be asked why you chose MSc in Finance over an MBA or PGDM. If you have work experience, you must be familiar with your work and its impact on business. By being thorough with all of these above-mentioned points, you will be well-prepared for the MSc Finance interview.

Should I get into an MBA at Sydenham or try for an MSc. in Finance at JBIMS?

Anyone but you can decide what’s best for you. Only you can make an informed decision based on your expectations and ability to take risks. However, I will recommend you opt MSc in Finance if you are sure about your career in the Finance sector and are ready for Finance roles. In case you are not very sure, try contacting some seniors from the institute or doing some research on LinkedIn. If even after researching your gut is not very sure about Finance then opt for a core MBA only. By taking MBA, you can test your inclinations throughout the first year and find out if Finance is really your cup of tea rather than joining an MSc and regretting it later. A slight comparison between the 2 courses is given below Brand: Brand-wise MBA/PGDM of Sydenham is a much older and bigger name in comparison to the MSc Finance of JBIMS. Scope: The MSc in Finance at JBIMS has a much greater scope than MBA from Sydenham. At JBIMS, both MMS and MSc Finance offer similar opportunities. Although many students exclusively target MSc. In finance, there tends to be an obvious preference for MMS. So in the near future either MSc Finance could be a separate course from MMS or even be discontinued. Not much can be said about this. So the only factor you should consider while deciding is your own inclinations.

If I join the MSc (Finance) Programme of JBIMS, then does it makes sense to pursue an MBA later?

Chances are that you have completed the MSc Finance program of JBIMS and yet are not very satisfied with the results and sure about your career prospects. I suggest you 2 ways to get out of this situation Start MBA right after M.Sc Finance: Doing this will stop you from going into a slump due to indecisiveness. I have seen quite a few students pursue MBA after MSc but mostly from the top B Schools like IIM Ahmedabad. But you should decide based on your own interests. For instance, if you are satisfied with the job you have got, then you don’t have to necessarily do an MBA. But if you think your career requires you to get an MBA degree go for it. PGPX MBA after 4-5 years: This is even suitable for someone who has done a full-time MBA and has not received satisfactory results or you have done MBA from a mediocre B School or you have done Master’s in another field like M.Sc Finance. You may realize after 4-5 years what you exactly want in your career and an International MBA might help achieve it. This will improve your profile and career prospects. The other option is not to do an MBA and stay where you are. You might not be ready to spend 2 years again studying considering the opportunity cost of not working for two years. In case you see no major diff between the two programs, you can just give up pursuing MBA altogether.
