More About Finance

In India, Finance is considered one of the most sought after specializations, attracting a big community of MBA aspirants every year. It is also one of the oldest disciplines of management courses. During the 19th century, it was a sub-course of Economics. But somewhere in the 20th century, it found its ground and became an individual subject of study. When we hear the word, ‘finance’, we mostly think of banking. But banking is just one part of finance. The finance universe involves management, investment, control & review, as well as converting resources as capital required for industrial building and working.

Which Institute Is Best For You?

The answer lies in your requirements -

If you are someone who has scored exceptionally well in entrance tests and wants to go to the best colleges that the country has to offer, then IIM C, B, A and FMS fit your vibe.
If you are someone who is looking for a return on investment (ROI), then business schools like FMS, DFS DU, JBIMS etc. will be the ideal choice for you.
If you are someone who has not scored well at CAT but are confident about your performance in XAT, NMAT and SNAP, then XLRI, SIBM, NMIMS could be your b-school.
For some, the region is a very important factor in choosing a business school. E.g, if you are from Mumbai, you may prefer a business school in close proximity to your home city.
