Hi,
Supply chain professionals considering a certification face a bewildering array of options. There are multiple organisations and certifications from which to choose.
While acquiring a certification can have a significant effect on your career trajectory, it is a process that requires a considerable outlay of time and money. Door individuals in the early stages of their career, it can be difficult to make an informed choice. To help this decision easier, I'd suggest a set of certifications which are in fact worth pursuing. Whatever certification you choose, you should first make sure it is as widely recognised as possible.
The following are the three well known and reputable certifications:
The Centre Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) and certificate in production and inventory management (CPIM) offered by the Association of Operations Management (APICS)
The Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) from the institute for supply management (ISM)
The SCPro from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)

The choice totally depends upon your specialization of MBA course, whether you want marketing domain, supply chain management domain, finance domain, operations domain, etc.
IRMA is better in terms of course it offers.
IRMA offers Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management and is among the best institutes in this field in India.
So, if you have an inclination towards rural management then go for IRMA.
On the other hand, Jaipuria Institute of Management is a decent college with decent placements and offers a variety of courses. They offer specializations like PGDM in financial services, PGDM in retail management, PGDM in service management and PGDM in marketing.
Rest are the secondary factors like location, infrastructure,faculty, campus life, etc.
So, depending upon the above parameters, you can decide which college you want to choose.

It is really a doubtful question for every B.Tech as what he or she can do after B.Tech. There are many options for students to start their career with. They can opt for MBA in finance, marketing, analytics, operations, international business, logistics or supply chain management as a specialisation. So, once the student completes his B.Tech, he must give himself time as what field is best for him or her and if in still a dilemma, can do 2 things. First, if possible do a job and gain work experience and find if a candidate is able to get what he wants or not? Secondly, prepare for CAT and then on the basis of the college which you get, decide which trade is best for you. One of the best things in various colleges is that they provide MBA general for the first year so that a candidate or a B.Tech student is able to decide after the first year that where he or she is able to cope up with and on the basis of that a candidate can decide which field he should opt for.

ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad is one of the top B-Schools in the list of ICFAI, but while comparing ICFAI-Mumbai and ICFAI-Pune you should definitely go for ICFAI-Mumbai as it is ranked No.2 in the ranking of the ICFAI Business School so you should choose ICFAI-Mumbai over Pune. Both are same in the terms of infrastructure, facility, faculty and placements, but the rankings are different. Mumbai is better than Pune in terms of placements, campus life and other essential criteria required for a good college and so on.
So, if you are prefering ICFAI, go for Hyderabad, if you fail to get admission in Mumbai because both are to class institutes.
I hope this amount of small Information helps the candidate in getting over the dilemma of college selection. I wish all the aspirants best of luck for the future.

National Institute of Fashion Technology - Bangalore

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.

It's okay if somehow you were unable to appear in CAT/MAT exams but still, if you want to take admission directly there are some universities as:
Sikkim Manipal University
Amity University
Else, you can also opt for distance learning course from any good universities as:
Symbiosis
or any other recognized one.
As you said that you have not appeared in MAT and CAT, you are not eligible for taking admission in MBA from a good institution.
Apart from these, if you want to do MBA without sitting in CAT or MAT then you can also give the state entrance exam like MH-CET, TANCET, PGCET, UPSEE, etc.
Choose your state where you want to take admission and give the entrance exam of that state. But there are a very few number of seats for other state candidates.
MBA is a Master's degree which stands for Master of Business Administration. By pursuing this course, you can easily get a job in any of the reputed agencies.

The only minus point that the institute has is the high fee and fully European culture, which one can find difficult to cope up with.
Else, the institute stands among the top and has some aspects which make it unbeatable.

Different people have different kinds of regrets as they have different problems. Some of the regrets are about not keeping in better touch with the section-mates after graduating. Those two years really form lasting connections. When I see my former classmates now, it is amazing how instantly they reconnect with the same closeness. And this is independent of the varied levels of success in business we all achieved. So, talk to your batchmates, develop bonds, they will last longer than you think.
"I wish that I had taken more time to examine all the opportunities that were out there in order to get a better sense of what other MBA internships had to offer. I wish that I had been patient enough to really consider other internships and how my knowledge would have been used in other companies. I also wish that I had investigated internships possibilities with full-time prospects in mind. This is what some people would say. So, you should act now.
