Hi Aditi,
It's a decent B-school for pursuing Finance, provided you don't have better options available (JBIMS, NMIMS, SP Jain, Somaiya, Sydenham, etc). The college officials haven't posted anything specifically about the placement figures for Finance. So, you need to directly contact them for further information:

Yes, PGPM does have dual specialization. The specialization could be a combination of Marketing + Finance, Marketing + HR, Marketing + Operations, Marketing + IT, Finance + HR, Finance + Operations, Finance + IT, and so on. 2 subjects of each specialization. There is also majors + minors of specialization wherein you could choose or select 3 subjects of one specialization which would be your major specialization and anyone subject of either banking, operations, finance and IT which would be considered as your minors specialization, both the ways of selecting subjects are good. Selection of the subject is usually based on the kind of field in which you want to make your career. Sometimes at the time of interviews or campus selection for placements, selection of subjects might make a difference in your selection for a particular post and for a specific kind of organizations. For example, in order to make a career in banking, it is better to choose subjects like Banking Service Operations, Overview of Banking, and Marketing of Financial Products.
