Between IIM Kozhikode and SPJIMR, which is better for an MBA in finance?
Both IIM Kozhikode and SPJIMR offer an excellent curriculum in MBA that is taught by the best and most learned faculty. One of my cousins chose IIMK over SPJIMR because she was inclined toward Finance specifically. Additionally, the IIM tag helped her avail better opportunities.
SPJIMR on the other hand has a few drawbacks that make you want to reconsider joining it. Firstly, it has a triple occupancy room system which may not be fit for everyone. Secondly, its culture is a bit restrictive focusing only on mental development.
Overall, If you are a CA or a CFA graduate with Financial Corp experience, you will be exposed to similar cultures and opportunities on both campuses. But if you are an engineer, you will get better opportunities at IIM Kozhikode.
Ultimately, the final decision is yours to make!
How is PGDMFM in ITM Navi Mumbai?
I completed my PGDM in Financial Markets from ITM Navi Mumbai in the year 2022. I am currently working as an Asset Desk Manager at HDFC Bank. The average package for my branch during the 2022 placements stood at INR 6.5 LPA.
In PGDM FM, your hard work matters the most. A trading lab is provided which helps us to learn more about trading. Most companies come to the campus offering a sales profile. ITM Navi Mumbai is not among the top business schools, so if you want to go for research or technical analysis, you will need to work hard.
The professors possess a good knowledge of their field. They are very helpful and friendly. It is you, however, who will have to take the initiative.
Go for Financial Markets if you are motivated and wish to pursue research. Otherwise, you can go for other PGDM specializations offered by ITM Navi Mumbai according to your goals.
