Always aim for short term courses. MBA takes away a lot of years from you, therefore it's important to manage time post that, because knowledge collection if not applied in a practical situation is useless.

So for example post MBA if you wanted to be an Investment Banker, you should apply for a short term course, preferably from somewhere that gives you a great curriculum, good mentorship and if possible provide hands on practical experiences that can be added to your CV and give you the edge when applying anywhere.

Such an example of a course/institute that would provide it would be IIM Skills. Only heard good things about them, be it course, faculty and post course assistance (placement). 

Since you're already pursuing a MBA, the knowledge needed for investment banking is most certainly being learnt. But I do believe practical application and how to discern what do where still requires experience and more so actual implementation of knowledge. 

A friend of mine did his Investment banking course at IIM Skills (online platform). What he told me was the thing that helped him the most to be clear on the subjects are the different projects and case studies they did during his time there.  And that pushed his confidence way up. 

So my suggestion, find an institute which provides guidance/mentorship and provides you a shot at hands on experience at it.

I would suggest IIM Skills simply based on how well recieved it was by my friend who had pursued it. Cheers! 

Yes, you should definitely pursue MBA in Finance from Chandigarh University. The most interesting part of this course is that 30–40% of the classes are taught by PwC partners. This makes students get practical knowledge, not just theory. The course also allows dual specialisation like investment banking, auditing, taxation, and advisory. This wider choice helps in getting career options across fields. Tools like Excel and Power BI are part of learning, which prepares for real job roles. Students also work on Harvard case studies to build problem solving skills. On placement, the scope is high with recruiters from banking, finance, IT, and consulting.
