Narsee Monjee Institute of Management and Higher Studies is a deemed University. They tend to meet the growing demand for young managers. One of my cousins graduated from NMIMS and here are some of the details I gathered from him.

• It is the first business school in India to be accredited with a 5-star rating by the UGC-sponsored NAAC.
• The University provides all the necessary facilities like a canteen, sports facilities, library, and hostel facilities.
• NMIMS offers fourteen courses including diploma programs of 1 year and post-graduate diplomas of 2 years.
• Their programs cater to the variety of needs of working executives, management students, fresh graduates, and homemakers as well.

All programs of the NMIMS School of Distance Learning are approved by the Joint Committee of UGC-AICTE-DEC. Also, these programs are highly flexible and focus mostly on self-paced learning.

I have a friend who is also an MBA Finance enthusiast. He was shortlisted for Great Lakes, Gurgaon- specifically for Finance. My answer would be more conversational and definitely does not intend to be any sort of advice as eventually, it is your call.

For studies, Great Lakes is a good choice to opt for. But here, what happens to be even more prioritized is the job profile of working under Finance.

The industry of Finance specifically has a range of 10% of jobs to offer along with 50% reserved for marketing and for operations, which is 30%. Last year, 21% of the recruiters were from BFSI out of only a small range of 10% were provided a job in Finance. Others are compelled to opt for sales. Many students end up opting for it as MBA Finance leaves them indebted and they are in dire need of a job to pay off the loan.

If you have enough confidence, do go for it. But then, if you consider yourself to be and stay your average self, there is something you need to work on.

BIT Mesra is a high-regarded institute of engineering well known for its BTech courses in various branches. The institute's ambiance and curriculum are more steered towards engineering and all the other departments are meant for earning money only. 

Sadly, BIT Mesra lacks the infrastructure and resources conducive to an MBA program. The recruiters are well aware of this situation and thus rarely do they come here for placements. For a better MBA program, the institute needs to work on personality development and provide better networking.

You will be surprised to know that last year, 7 MBA students at BIT Mesra received only 1 placement offer. So think twice before choosing BIT Mesra for an MBA.
