Is a person pursuing an MBA in finance from IBS Hyderabad at a disadvantage if he/she doesn't have any professional qualifications like CFA/CA/CS and is a complete fresher with just a B.com degree?

SB
Sachin Beriwal Posted On : May 19th, 2023

No, a fresher with a B.Com degree who wants to study finance at IBS Hyderabad doesn't need CFA, CA, or CS credentials. The IBS Hyderabad MBA in Finance prepares students for a profession in finance by teaching them financial principles, tools, and procedures.

An MBA in Finance or a position in finance does not require a CFA, CA, or CS. MBA finance graduates often start their careers in investment banking, corporate finance, financial analysis, or consultancy and advance with experience and certifications. However, credentials and experience might provide candidates with an edge in the competitive banking industry. Thus, MBA finance students should intern, participate in financial-related extracurriculars, and acquire CFA, CA, or CS certifications to improve their knowledge and employability.

Which of these colleges is better for an MBA in finance, PUMBA or the SIES?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : April 18th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

Based on the available data and rankings, SIES is a better choice than PUMBA in terms of academic excellence, campus infrastructure, faculty, and placements. SIESCOMS is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and has been ranked among the top 100 B-Schools in India by NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework). 

SIESCOMS is known for its strong industry interface and focus on research. PUMBA may not be suitable for experienced professionals, as it is said to be a place for freshers. The learning experience at PUMBA may also not be as rigorous as some of the top B-schools in India. It’s especially true if a student is looking for top-notch placements and a rigorous learning experience, which is why SIES is the better option out of the two.

What is the best option for an MBA in finance for the CFA level 2 candidate between SPJIMR, Mumbai and IIFT, Delhi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : April 28th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I believe IIFT offers an MBA only in International Business. It is a government institute and has a brand. 

Mumbai-based SPJIMR is a top business school. The institute provides several management programs, including a two-year full-time MBA in Finance. SPJIMR's MBA Finance program teaches students finance fundamentals and career skills. Students learn real-world problem-solving abilities through classroom lectures, case studies, and simulations.

However, for MBA in Finance you should go for SPJIMR. It is in the same league as IIFT and also has the same advantage in terms of location.

I am planning to take admission in PUMBA for MBA Finance. How are the placements and what kind of roles are offered to core finance students?

TA
Tejas Agarwal Posted On : May 2nd, 2023
Student at DMS PUMBA

Choosing PUMBA for an MBA in Finance is a decent choice. Due to the fact that this college's MBA graduates' average salary is 8.10 LPA. 

During their recent placement drive, PUMBA received about 122 businesses, and their highest offer to date was 18 LPA. Their tuition fee is also a little expensive given the campus area (414 acres) and the location in Maharashtra.

I have been alloted PGDM Finance for provisional admission at IMT Ghaziabad. Is there any option to change the branch now?

SG
Sreetoma Gupta Posted On : June 2nd, 2023
studied at Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad

That largely depends on the number of students that are waitlisted for that particular course and whether it was on your preference list or not in your application form. IMT gives about a week to pay the acceptance fee making the whole process very prompt. But you could always mail the admission office about changing your program and adjusting your paid fee towards that course.

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 2nd, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

NMIMS is a reputable business school, and they are one of the few places in Mumbai that offer a 2-year part-time MBA program. The college is well organized, and facilities are at par, you will get to learn from the best people in the business.

Generally also to specialize in finance and banking, NMIMS Mumbai is a great option. It has a great Finance faculty. In general NMIMS placements are better. During the recruitment drive for 2022, students got a CTC of about INR 23.07 LPA on average. CRISIL, HDFC Bank, EY, Goldman Sachs, and other big companies often send recruiters to the college drive. Because the class sizes are small, every student gets a good chance during placements.

Which institution is better for MBA in Finance- SPJIMR or IIM- Indore? (For someone who has only 6 months of work experience)

JR
Jyoti Ranjan Posted On : March 10th, 2023
MBA in Finance (college major), S P Jain School of Global Management (Graduated 2019)

Trying to make sure my answer is as objective as possible, I have mentioned the pros of both institutes namely SPJIMR and IIM Indore. The final decision can be made by choosing the one whose benefits appeal to you the most and matches your inclinations.

SPJIMR

  • Small batch size of 250-300 students makes it possible to develop good bonding between peers. There is almost a family-like feeling. The small batch size also reduces the level of competition and increases proximity to faculty
  • The average package was pretty decent this year and stood at INR 26.06 LPA
  • A major USP of SPJIMR is its Rural internship called DOCC and GFT(global fast track program). These offer a unique experience of rural India as well as the foreign market in the same year.
  • Another distinguishing factor of SPJIMR is the minors offered n other specializations like Analytics, Consulting, etc. This is like a secondary specialization for backup in the future.
  • The culture at SPJIMR is friendly mainly because of the unique selection process

IIM Indore

  • The main USP is the IIM Tag
  • Huge batch size resulting in a larger stronger alumni base
  • You do not have to choose a specialization at the time of admissions. Specializations are chosen after a year and still, the degree awarded is that of a General MBA only. So if you are not sure of your specialization and want to explore various aspects of Management, then IIM Indore is a better option for you.

Yes, PIBM is a great choice if you have chosen to go for a specialization in Finance. I can give you some insight into the institute as I have a few friends at the institute.

Academics:

The reason PIBM is so popular is simply because of its brilliant teaching pedagogy. Here, the students are trained on various aspects of SCPS (Sector, Company, Product/Services). You will also receive profile-oriented training and experiential learning.

  • Ace Analyzer
  • Bloomberg Terminal
  • Balance Sheet Analysis

Faculty:

  • The faculty base for Finance specialization is great. The faculties are experienced and quite helpful.
  • Mr. Bharat Dalal Sir, HOD of Finance has 28+ years of experience in the corporate world and 15+ years of experience in teaching. So, you are in capable hands.

Internships:

At PIBM, you would have two different internship programs, i.e. Winter and Summer Internship Programmes. These kinds of programs are good to get an experience of the corporate world.

Placements:

Placements for Finance at PIBM are quite good.

  • You will be offered profiles in Equity Research, Investing Banking, Corporate Finance, Commerce Credit, Treasury Management, Finance Quality Management.
  • Karvy, IDBI, FIS Global, DCB Bank, Eclerx, etc. are some of the top recruiters visiting the campus drive.
