Does a CFA degree help in summer and final placements at IIM Ahmedabad/Calcutta for top banking firms?
Yes, the CFA degree will very likely fetch you a decent package at IIM Ahmedabad or Calcutta. This is because companies prefer their interns and analysts to be well versed in subjects from finance and economics. CFA charter is an easy way to ensure that eligibility requirement.
Some organisations conduct prior interactions with the would-be interns before the actual interview. Here, junior executives interact with the future interns and offer pre placement offers.
So this degree will help you get the interview call but the rest depends on your performance in the interview. CFA degree is definitely a game-changer.
Does one get front-end investment banking roles immediately after finishing a PGP in IIM Kozhikode?
The chances of one getting front m-end investment bank roles just after finishing a PGM in IIM Kozhikode are extremely low.
This is because IIM Kozhikode has little to offer in the finance field as compared to A,B and C. The total financial roles available might be around 5% of the entire batch. There are some international opportunities in Indonesia, Africa etc.
IIM Kozhikode has amazing opportunities in mid-office level jobs. You can work here, get experience and then switch to the front-end.
The conclusion is that if you want to get a front end role right after PGP then go for A,B or C. But if you are open to learning different fields then IIM Kozhikode is the best option.
