Which college to prefer? I am waitlisted in both IIM Udaipur as well as IIM Trichy. I want to opt for Finance. which one should I go for?
In order to research the opportunities that both of these colleges, IIM Udaipur as well as IIM Trichy have to offer in the field of finance, it is a good idea to try and get in touch with previous students who have studied finance at these colleges. You can ask them about their experiences and whether they believe that the college prepared them well for a career in finance. It is also a good idea to be specific about the particular career choice within finance that you are interested in, as this will help you to determine whether the college has a strong track record of placing students in those types of roles.
Additionally, online forums such as Pagalguy can be useful resources for gathering information and asking questions about the opportunities that are available at these colleges. It is important to be specific in your queries on these forums, as this will help you to get more targeted and helpful responses.
Should I join IIM Shillong? How good is it compared to other older IIMs, especially for finance?
You are asking whether you should take it or not so I will assume that you are planning to take a drop year otherwise. However, preparing and attempting CAT again is not a cakewalk. It requires a lot of determination and motivation and still does not guarantee that you will get a call from an old IIM.
IIM Shillong is rather a good choice for finance. You can contact some of its alumni to get more information on the same. Since your profile is good, Indore is also a good option for you.
But if you are adamant about joining the old IIMs, then focus on one single goal. Getting maximum percentile in CAT. Start preparing as soon as you decide to drop the year. Anything above 99.7 will guarantee you a call from one of the older IIMs. I have seen many people attempt CAT 3-4 times just to get into their choice of IIMs.
It all comes down to your determination. Like I said, dropping a year requires a lot of determination, so choose this path wisely. Else consider the various other options you have.

Is FMS BHU good for Finance?
Before we get into a college, we normally do prior research on various factors that we require in the desired course. Generally, it is about placements, packages, and corporate exposure. And, if you are assuming to find all of that in FMS BHU, you are wrong!
But then, if you are looking for a place with some spiritual retreat and carrying a degree just for the sake of carrying one without bringing out any benefit- FMS BHU would welcome you with open arms!
Some people beg to differ- which I am assuming is because they must have been placed in good company. But then, if you have prior work experience, carry a strong and valuable work ethic with a good educational convent background, FMS BHU should not be considered.
FMS BHU is ranked similar to what a mediocre MBA college is. Save your time by not going for this. Not choosing FMS BHU can save your career from being wasted. Because it's better to test your luck in some betting app than choosing this institute as your place to study.
The profiles that the companies show up are in the name of sales, but you would beg to differ when you observe companies like Berger Paints, Kent RO, Gyan Dairy, etc. show up. They offer an average package of 2.4-5 LPA.
The batch of my friends is facing this issue as they have no other option left. All in all, I would not recommend FMS BHU at all.
Which would be the best choice among IIFT Kolkata, IIM Trichy and other new IIMs for someone with strong interests to pursue a career in finance?
IIM Trichy is an ideal choice for pursuing a career in Finance. Many reputed banks visit the campus for recruitment like Citi, ICICI Bank, and YES Bank. This year the Finance sector accounted for 15%of the total placements. The highest CTC stood at INR 20 LPA whereas the average CTC stood at INR 17.67 LPA.
The IIFT program of Kolkata may have an upper hand due to its location but it’s not at par with IIM Trichy. If you are interested in the program I suggest you go for the New Delhi one.
The new IIMs are somewhat similar to Trichy but they won’t help you kickstart a career directly in finance. You might have to take baby steps to enter the Finance sector. So it’s best if you choose IIM Trichy only.
