Ques. What is the difference between PGDM BFSI and PGDM Finance at IMT Ghaziabad ?

● Top Answer By Sreetoma Gupta on 04 Jun 23

Ans. The emphasis of the curriculum distinguishes the IMT Ghaziabad PGDM Finance programme from the full-time PGDM program. A general management education, including instruction in marketing, finance, operations, and strategy, is provided via the full-time PGDM programme. The program's participants will enroll in a range of business-related courses. On the other side, the PGDM Finance programme specialises in finance and related fields. With the option to specialise in fields including corporate finance, investment banking, and financial analysis, students in this programme will take courses that are highly focused on accounting and finance.Read more

Ques. Should I go for PGDM General in FORE Delhi or TAPMI PGDM BKFS if I want to go in the finance sector?

● Top Answer By Aditi Banerjee on 25 May 23

Ans. I feel for Finance, TAPMI would be a much better option because it is good for finances in the Tier 2 league. But if you wish to explore other fields, such as marketing, operations, or analytics, or if you are not entirely sure of your profession, choose the Fore Delhi PGDM. Without a doubt, Fore is a top university, and your geographic location gives you an advantage. Additionally, placements this year have been excellent for all tier institutions.Read more

Ques. Which course in TAPMI is better, the core PGDM, the HRM, or BKFS?

● Top Answer By Divya Kaur on 02 May 23

Ans. What's most important is that you enjoy it. The BKFS program is highly specialized and designed to equip students with the tools necessary to succeed in any financial-related field. The PGDM's first year emphasizes variety over specialization. Two years into the program, you'll have the option to focus on either Marketing, Operations, or Finance. It's up to you to determine the kind of career you want to have. Everything in the new system will be up to the individual, replacing both the major and minor systems. Although the HR course is brand new, it will be just as rigorous and cover the same ground as other courses.Read more

Ques. Which one between IMI Delhi B&FS and TAPMI BKFS should one choose?

● Top Answer By Sagarika Dasgupta on 01 May 23

Ans. If you want to specialize in finance and want a career in that area, you should choose TAPMI PGDM(B&FS). If you're unsure which area to go into, you should choose PGDM. In the first three terms, you'll learn about all the different fields, and then in the second year, you'll choose your specialization. Having said that, let me tell you that if your choice is based on a brand name, you need to sit down and think about what you want to get out of the next two years while you are getting your degree. If you stay in NCR, you'll always have a lot of chances to work outside of your schoolwork.Read more

Ques. Is it worth doing a BKFS PGDM from TAPMI?

● Top Answer By Hitesh Takran on 27 Apr 23

Ans. The infrastructure, faculties, and other facilities are similar in all TAPMI courses. So, it boils down to the placements of BFSI. With an average package of 15.7 lakhs per year, the Manipal-based TA Pai Management Institute (TAPMI) boasts 100% placement in the PGDM-BKFS (Post Graduation Diploma in Management - Banking and Financial Services) program for the class of 2021–23. The highest package awarded this year was Rs 22.3 lakh; the top 10 students received average CTCs of Rs 21.7 lakh. The highest package awarded this year was Rs 22.3 lakh; the top 10 students received average CTCs of Rs 21.7 lakh.

Ques. Which is better, IMI Delhi BF&S or Great Lakes Chennai PGDM, considering I have no particular inclination towards finance but IMI is the bigger brand?

● Top Answer By Nikhil Chaturvedi on 16 Mar 23

Ans. If you have the option of dropping a year and preparing for CAT, XAT, or other entrance exams, it may be worth considering. You can use the extra time to study and improve your scores, which could lead to better opportunities in the future. However, if you have decided to pursue an MBA this year, there are several factors to consider before choosing between IMI and GLIM. You should look at the return on investment (ROI), fees, faculty, location, and placement records of both institutions to determine which one is a better fit for you. It is important to note that neither the Business Forensic & Fraud Management (BF&S) program at IMI nor the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) program at GLIM are the flagship programs of their respective institutions. You may want to research the other programs offered by each school to see if they align with your career goals. Personally, I would recommend GLIM over IMI. However, you should make your decision based on your own research and preferences, taking into account factors such as the curriculum, faculty, industry connections, and career prospects. It is important to choose a program that aligns with your career aspirations and provides the best value for your investment in terms of education, skills, and networking opportunities.Read more

Ques. Which is better LBSIM, Delhi PGDM (general) or IMI, Delhi PGDM (B&FS)?

● Top Answer By Amay Singh on 03 Mar 23

Ans. 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.Read more

Ques. Which school is better, MDI Gurgaon or IIM K, if I want to be an equity research analyst?

● Top Answer By Yash Gupta on 22 Feb 23

Ans. If you go to the official website and compare the placement reports, MDI Gurgaon fares better than IIM Kozhikode. Let’s have a look at the placement statistics of the 2 B Schools. Particulars MDI IIM Kozhikode Number of Recruiters 87 116 Highest CTC INR 1.14 CPA INR 61.5 LPA Average CTC INR 26.65 LPA INR 29.5 LPA Top Recruiters Microsoft, Google, HCL, Adobe Accenture, Amazon, Microsoft The best finance companies that offer roles like Equity Research Analyst roles, and Securities analysis visit both the B Schools. But the higher number of companies visiting MDI Gurgaon gives it a slight advantage over IIM Kozhikode. Yet I think both MDI Gurgaon and IIM-K are almost equal in terms of giving you the opportunity of getting an Equity Research Analyst role. If I was in your place I would have chosen MDI Gurgaon because of the following factors Location Infrastructure The industry-academia relationship Live Projects Guest Lectures Corporate Talks Peer learningRead more

Ques. Which college is better for Finance among IMT Ghaziabad (PGDM) & TAPMI BKFS?

● Top Answer By Manmeet Singh on 27 Jan 23

Ans. IMT is a well-established college and comparing it to a mediocre college like TAPMI is not justifiable. Of the two, IMT Ghaziabad is clearly a better choice. To explain further I have compared both these institutes on the basis of some parameters like Establishment: Both these institutes were established in 1980 so they carry an equal legacy. Alumni: Despite a similar legacy, IMT Ghaziabad alumni are placed in higher positions and top firms today. The extensive alumni network has opened gates for corporate and industry exposure. IMT Ghaziabad’s alumni comprise more than 300 CXOs. Location: IMT Ghaziabad enjoys a better location advantage over TAPMI Pedagogy: Both the Institutes are AACSB accredited and follow similar curriculums yet there is a stark difference in the quality of education. This is because of the better pedagogy at IMT Ghaziabad than at TAPMI. Faculty: IMT Ghaziabad's teaching methodology is way ahead of that of TAPMI and the credit goes to its excellent faculty with amazing profiles. They have great industry exposure and help the students grasp the concepts practically. Placements: IMT Ghaziabad has an upper hand in this aspect also. This can be explained further through the table below Particulars IMT Ghaziabad TAPMI Number of recruiters 130+ 21 Highest CTC INR 62 LPA INR 22.3 LPA Average CTC INR 15.28 LPA INR 15.7 LPA Top Recruiters Morgan Stanley, BCG, Accenture Consulting, Goldman Sachs, Google, Infosys Consulting, Emami International, TATA Consumer Product EY, HDFC Bank, HSBC Bank, Tata Capital From the table you can easily infer that the placement scenario is far better at IMT Ghaziabad than TAPMI. In fact in almost all aspects IMT Ghaziabad is way ahead so it’s definitely a better choice than TAPMI.Read more
