Finance

Hi Sudorshan,
If you're a working professional & foresee that pursuing MBA in Finance would add an advantage to your designation then you should definitely do it on a part-time basis. But if in case you're not working anywhere & you are very much passionate about making a career in Banking & Finance then I would highly recommend you to do it full-time form any of the reputed business schools because such colleges have best curriculum, subjects with faculties members excelling in the subject they are teaching, they provide internship with top labelled companies where students are given proper grooming about the industry in terms of how do they function etc. Whereas. the most important point is the place where companies excelling in the Genre of B 7 F sector comes to the campus and provides salary package starting form 6 LPA onwards.

Hi,
In order to pursue full time MBA or PGDM program you need:
- Graduation in any field with at least 50% aggregate marks to be eligible to apply.
- Then, you need to clear the selection process of the B-school, starting with an entrance test accepted by the B-School. For e.g. CAT, MAT, SNAP, CMAT, MAH-CET, etc.
The selection process in B-schools is generally based on:
- Past academic record
- Scores in management entrance tests
- Performance in Group Discussion
- Performance in Personal Interview
- Work experience
Each B-school shortlists candidates for the second/ final stage of selection, which may be independent of each other. The process may include:
- Written Ability Test (What)
- Group Discussions (GD)
- Personal Interviews (PI)
Performance in various management entrance tests is an important component in the admission process. B-schools may use previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience and other similar inputs in short listing and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process.
The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across B-schools. Please note that you have to apply separately in each B-school you wish to take admission, once you apply then you have to go through the selection process mentioned above.
The dates of MAH CET 2018 have not been announced yet. However, going by the past trends, the exam is expected to take place in March, 2018. Exam registration is likely to begin from the fourth week of January, and is expected to continue till third week of February, 2018.

There are many courses which you can pursue parallel to MBA Finance. Some are:
FRM (Financial Risk Manager): It is a quant heavy course if you have good quant skills and passion for risk management. This course is perfect for you and you can pursue it along with your MBA in Finance.
CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst): This will be a good option if you are interested in investment analysis and portfolio management side.
Apart from these two courses, there are many courses which are provided by various organisations like NISM, SEBI, etc.
You can also go for various MOOCs which are available online.
But, I will suggest that you focus more on your MBA and try to excel.
Good luck.
I hope this helps.
