IMI Delhi Courses & Fees 2024

I can speak with certainty that PGDM at LBSIM is a far better option than PGDM in Financial services at IMI Delhi. My brother is a recent pass out from LBSIM and the following highlight of the institute are based on his personal experiences 

• The IIRF ranks LBSIM 25th among private colleges
• It has a spectacular ROI in terms of placements and fees
• LBSIM is famous for its student culture
• You can get an insight into various angles of the industry you will be dealing with in the future 
• You can avail an abundance of opportunities through live projects and get to have a detailed experience in your specialization.
• The institute prioritizes a practical approach over theoretical knowledge through academic activities outside the classroom
• Various academic and non-academic clubs make the environment a friendly one 
• The institute boasts of a 100% placement record
• It has an elaborate alumni network that is spread across top companies like Big Four’s, Arcesium, Marsh & Mclennan, Asian Paints, Crisil
• LBSIM collaborates with various international universities for its student exchange program. Some of them include Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Northern Illinois University, USA, European Higher School of Economics and Management, Bulgaria etc.
• A unique feature of the B School is its Bloomberg Terminal which is restricted to the top B Schools like IIM B, IIM C, and FMS only.

All these points clearly state that LBSIM is a very good choice for a PGDM program.

I am certain that if I had been in your place I would have opted for TAPMI PGDM over IMI Delhi PGDM. I even have a friend who recently joined this program and is very happy with her decision so I have more assurance in this regard.

TAPMI is well recognized not only in India but abroad as well, especially in the Middle East. I know many colleagues from my last workplace who relocated to the Middle East and other foreign countries after graduating from TAPMI.

The infrastructure and campus are very beautiful, unlike the NCR campus which is hot and congested. Delhi is suitable only if you are interested in Sales roles. Else for specialization in Finance and Banking TAPMI is the best choice one can make. Some companies that visited the campus during placements are

• Deloitte
• Bajaj
• CRISIL
• Fincare
• HDFC Bank
• Invesco

I think TAPMI is the best option if you are looking for a sales role in a Finance company.

IMI Delhi Executive PGDM is a very good choice if you are on the lookout for improving your learning caliber and climbing the corporate ladder higher. It is most suitable for working professionals who join on a sabbatical and don’t leave their jobs to pursue this program.

The faculty is highly experienced and will guide you throughout the program. The placement for their flagship course is better than the executive course. They falsely claim to offer lateral placement support. If you are joining the program be prepared for no general increase in salary or placements. Join the program only if your primary purpose is to learn. Less than half of the students get placed in this program too with below-average packages. If you are ready to face it with a positive mindset, then only opt for this program.

PGDM BFS is a viable option if you are keen about numbers and finance in general. PGDM core and PGDM BFS rarely has a major difference in curriculum except that marketing subjects of BFS would be less intriguing and the major pedagogy is directed towards marketing of finance products and services only.

A PGDM core student is open to a plethora of opportunities during placements as he is eligible to appear for companies offering marketing and sales profiles. On the contrary, a PGDM BFS student has been exposed to a customized curriculum that focuses mainly on Finance and lacks a wide range of opportunities. However, he has a more definite chance of securing placement at a company offering Finance roles like Banks and other financial institutions. This advantage seems very minimal right now but with the increase in the relevance of the curriculum and demand of the course, it will soon be coveted among Finance aspirants.

The BFS faculties are considered to be among the best given the excellent performance of BFS students in the recent years and the increasing popularity of the course. The companies visiting the campus for BFS are not only banks but include AMCs, NBFCs, FinTechs and other Fin Services firms. The course targets the entire Banking and Finance sector. 

At the end of the day, what remains of your college life is not the specific course you chose but the college you chose to pursue it. Be it PGDM Core or PGDM BFS, IMI Delhi is the perfect college to experience a great college life.
