Other good companies coming to the campus for placements with average package being 6-8 LPA to the top 50% of the batch and about 18 LPA being the highest package offered to the candidates from some of the good MNCs around the world and about 30% of batch get PPO from there internship companies as well.

Both are top B-School of the country in term of infrastructure, placement, faculty and brand name. SPJIMR also have best of placement from the industry as JBIMS. But being a 50 years old Institute JBIMS would be leading the race, leader of the legacy known as "CEO factory", being producing CEO like Chanda Kochar, Uday Kotak and many more top industry leaders presently. So I would suggest doing from JBIMS would be an added advantage, also it has small batch size as compared to SPJIMR so it will be also beneficial for the candidate to excel in small batch as compared to the big batch of SPJIMR. You would be a part of the CEO Factory after getting a tag from JBIMS.
Also, the total fee for the program is also very low as compared to SPJIMR.
So hope this information helps the candidate.
All the best!!

The biggest debate keeps hindering around 2 gigantic names, CFA or MBA? A million dollar question indeed.Masters in Business Administration-Finance, where students are introduced to various areas of business like accounting, marketing, human resources, operations management, and majorly to finance. The career path after MBA depends on a lot of factors, including your area of interest, previous work experience and business acumen of a specific domain. What you learn from an MBA is a broad understanding of how all the different bits and pieces fit together, so you can talk to all the key managers and operators and understand what they are saying. It proffers you the skills to be able to strategize and harness all the resources accessible to you to achieve your goal.These are the advantages of MBA in finance over CFA. But with everything, there are some demerits. You really don't get the full application out of an MBA programme unless you go into it with five to seven years of work experience. So, to find a well-paying job, you need experience as MBA is not very much industry oriented.

You can crack any exam like SET if you want to with complete dedication and hard-work. Do your SWOT analysis with respect to SET exam and find in what you are good at or your strength lies in which subjects or chapters. Then also, focus on your weak areas as these are to be practised 5- 6 times more that usual chapters.

NMIMS ranks in top 15 colleges of India every year. They have good infrastructure and faculty. Also, they have foreign ties with Universities. Now you are aware of the both college and the course, I think you can make a wise decision. I would personally rank it somewhere a bit lower than excellent, on a rank of 4 or 5.

It would be difficult if you are pursuing this course due to peer pressure or any other pressure.
It is all within you. No course is easy or difficult, it is just the mindset. I was an above average student when I entered the course. My father was totally against my decision of doing this course. It was the last day of filing the entrance form and we were standing on the window to deposit the same. Before handing over the form to the CS official, my father confirmed from me for a last time that do I really want to do it. I nodded yes and trust me I never regretted that nod. I had failures, I was told by my father that I opted for a very difficult course and I will never succeed but today I am having my own share of success.
The crux of the story is going for it if you really want to. It is a more theory based course, having lots of laws, few boring papers but the beauty of this course is that you will always be updated about latest amendments.

Hi, I think matching the schools will be a more productive exercise if we compare them with similar programs.
The programme at IIMs that is most similar to ISB's One Year MBA is IIMs own One Year Full-Time MBA programmes, that like ISB's One Year Full-Time course, exclusively accepts candidates with work experience.
Now before you tell me "but, the PGPX/ EPGP are executive MBA courses" - let me clarify upfront that they are not. These courses despite the odd branding, much like all one-year MBA (INSEAD, Oxford) and two-year MBA programmes (Harvard, Stanford) outside India simply accept candidates with substantial work experience. Read this for more: Don't mistake it for an Executive MBA and this one too: The 3 Questions One Year MBA Grads in India are Tired of Answering.
As India's first globally accredited MBAs the One Year MBA at IIMs along with ISB's MBA is the first MBAs from India to have made a mark on the Financial Times Global MBA Ranking. More on this here: IIM A's PGPX Ranked No. 2 MBA in the World for Career Progression: Financial Times 2015 MBA Ranking
The two-year PGP at IIMs is in fact accredited as an MIM and not an MBA globally for this reason. (read this for more on this: IIM Calcutta bags AMBA accreditation & IIM C's PGP ranked 13th in Financial Times MiM Ranking 2014). MIM's are management programmes targeted at candidates with 0-3 years work experience as opposed to MBA programmes that recruit candidates with 3+ years of work experience.
So now that we are comparing similar programmes here is an exhaustive and excellent analysis of ISB's One Year MBA vs IIM B and IIM C's One Year MBA: IIM B vs IIM C vs ISB - Which one is right for you? which should clarify many of your doubts. As the article suggests, the choice is a personal one and depends entirely on your aims.
