Is IFMR Chennai good for specialization other than finance in terms of placement?

Yes, it is. IFMR Chennai isn’t a Finance school. Although the institute is widely recognized in the Finance domain, it is equally reputed as a general business school. 

IFMR GSB offers one of the best Data Science specializations in the country. Students get employed in roles ranging from Consulting to Risk Analyst to Market Research through the campus drive. 

IFMR GSB is not just mainly a Finance Institution. Evidently, It did have a remunerative past association especially in the domain of Finance but the college proved and ensured a great overall fundamental quality as an MBA Business School. IFMR GSB provided a few of my friends with quality education in various domains such as Marketing, Business Analytics, HR, Finance, IT & Operations, Quantitative Finance, BFSI, and Data Science.

Features

• During the unfathomable days, while finalizing a B School to attend to, there are serious predicaments until taking and becoming a part of IFMR GSB.
• I am ensured that IFMR GSB is not just a B School for Finance but it is a place to amplify all the skills and utilize them in various areas.
• IFMR GSB is included in the top 10 institutes in the country that provides specialization in Data Science (DS).
• IFMR GSB has a broad foundation when it comes to the Faculty of Marketing. These faculties are practicing their expertise in the Market and also providing knowledge in the form of teaching. 
• So we can say that the students are learning marketing by the marketers themselves.

Placements

As per the placement report for the MBA 2018-20, the placement stats are mentioned below:

Companies like Marmore Mira, Deloitte, Toshiba, Phillips visited the campus for recruitment of students for the marketing profiles.

So, if looked upon the placement at IFMR, it is good to opt for other specializations too.
