If you're looking at placements and career growth, I'd say Finance at PIBM is usually better than HRM. Many students at PIBM get placed by the 3rd semester itself, and the recruiters are from diverse sectors like consulting, finance, IT, and FMCG. Compared to RIIM, PIBM gives earlier opportunities and broader exposure, so it can be more practical if your main focus is starting your career strong.
