What is better if I want to do an MBA in finance: JBIMS, IIM Shillong, or IIM Kozhikode?

IIM Kozhikode is one of the oldest IIMs. The placement status at IIM Kozhikode has continued to improve, in the finance department. 

Some of the top companies which visited IIM Kozhikode are Bank of American Continuum, Deutsche IBD, Credit Sussie, Deutsche GTB, and many more. 

These companies, however, didn’t visit the JBIMS campus. The only few companies which are regular at JBIMS are IndiaBulls, due to easy accessibility owing to a closer location. Otherwise, the placement scenario is much better at IIM Kozhikode than JBIMS with the entry of new recruiting companies like BoFA, IDFC, CS, etc. 

Standard Chartered, the regular visiting company at JBIMS, was the only company missing from the top companies list who visited the IIM Kozhikode.

Finally, IIM Kozhikode is steadily increasing its pace by gathering new asset companies like 

• DB, GS, JPMC offering middle office IBD roles; 
• Citi Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, Yes Bank, IndusInd offering corporate banking/treasury roles; and 
• Entrust offering front end IBD/Asset management.

IIM Shillong is not a wise option for pursuing MBA in finance for many reasons including poor faculty, Popular companies like Citi Bank and Yes Bank visit rarely, The campus facilities, mess facilities are not up to the mark and the maintenance staff is uncooperative.

Therefore, IIM Shillong does not make it to the list of options. The ranking puts IIM Kozhikode in the first place, JBIMS in the second and IIM Shillong in the third. IIM Kozhikode is the first preferred option, followed by JBIMS.
