How is a MSc Finance from JBIMS?

Hardik VaghelaStudied at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies

While considering the worth of any program you should consider 3 factors namely curriculum, peer learning, and profiles offered. Let’s discuss M.Sc Finance from JBIMS on the basis of the following factors

Curriculum: The course structure is pretty good and the quality of knowledge one acquires is also decent. Experienced alumni are invited to hold sessions that explore corporate values. The teaching faculty is also learned and experienced.
Peer group: Only 30 seats are available for this course so only the best and the cream students are selected. This is also why the peer crowd is extremely talented and there is cut-throat competition. Good peer learning enriched the overall experience of the program.
Profiles: The placement opportunities are great at JBIMS and the alumni are always there to assist you. The profiles offered both in internships and placements are also decent. The students are encouraged to participate in competitions to upgrade their skills and gain exposure. Sharing the campus with MBA students adds up to the overall experience.

What is the best preparation strategy for the JBIMS MSc finance interview?

Aniket MridhaPGDM in Finance, Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (Graduated 2019)

If you have a non-finance background, it is recommended that you begin your preparation for the JBIMS MSc finance interview at least 4-5 months prior to your interview for the MSc Finance course. You must be sure about your interest in finance, as M.Sc Finance is a very core course. If you have a finance background, you are expected to have a deeper understanding of the points mentioned below. Along with knowing the "whats", you must also know the "whys". In terms of preparation, it is important for you to:

Be well-informed about the current market scenario and keep track of SENSEX, NIFTY, gold pricing, INR/USD, and oil pricing.
Have a good understanding of the current Indian economy, including its GDP, inflation, and the factors that impact it.
Stay updated with the RBI rates, including Repo, Reverse Repo, CRR, and SLR, and know their meanings.
Be aware of the current global scenario, such as Demonetisation, BREXIT, and Trump.
Consider the question "Why MSc Finance?" as the first and foremost point of focus in your preparation, even if you have a good academic background. You may still be asked why you chose MSc in Finance over an MBA or PGDM.
If you have work experience, you must be familiar with your work and its impact on business.

By being thorough with all of these above-mentioned points, you will be well-prepared for the MSc Finance interview.

What are the things asked in the personal interview for an MSc in finance of JBIMS?

Extracurricular background: Your participation in extracurricular activities and related questions

Why JBIMS MSc Finance? The most important question they are going to put forward is why did you go for this specific program and why not MMS/MBA Finance from JBIMS or any other institute

Skill based: They will question you about your soft skills by asking you to share instances where you portrayed team skills, communication skills, ability to multitask, leadership skills, negotiation skills, etc.

What is the difference between MSc in Finance and MBA at JBIMS?

Shikha JhaMBA from Indian Institute of Management Indore (2020)

JBIMS MSc Finance focuses on Finance and placements in the same field and very few sales roles whereas MBA is a traditional business administration course wherein the first year has common electives and for the second year you have to select among Marketing - Finance, Operations (rare), HR(rare), IT (extremely rare).

Similarities:

Faculty: JBIMS is well known for its world-class Finance faculty and both courses are taught by almost the same faculty.

Prayag Festival: It is the annual festival of JBIMS and all the students irrespective to their courses participate in it.

Dissimilarities

The placement statistics, dates, and teams are completely different for both courses.

Should I get into an MBA at Sydenham or try for an MSc. in Finance at JBIMS?

Rochella DsouzaMMS in Marketing, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2015)

Anyone but you can decide what’s best for you. Only you can make an informed decision based on your expectations and ability to take risks. However, I will recommend you opt MSc in Finance if you are sure about your career in the Finance sector and are ready for Finance roles. In case you are not very sure, try contacting some seniors from the institute or doing some research on LinkedIn. If even after researching your gut is not very sure about Finance then opt for a core MBA only.

By taking MBA, you can test your inclinations throughout the first year and find out if Finance is really your cup of tea rather than joining an MSc and regretting it later. A slight comparison between the 2 courses is given below

Brand: Brand-wise MBA/PGDM of Sydenham is a much older and bigger name in comparison to the MSc Finance of JBIMS.

Scope: The MSc in Finance at JBIMS has a much greater scope than MBA from Sydenham.

At JBIMS, both MMS and MSc Finance offer similar opportunities. Although many students exclusively target MSc. In finance, there tends to be an obvious preference for MMS. So in the near future either MSc Finance could be a separate course from MMS or even be discontinued. Not much can be said about this. So the only factor you should consider while deciding is your own inclinations.

If I join the MSc (Finance) Programme of JBIMS, then does it makes sense to pursue an MBA later?

Ashish PaiMMS Operations Management, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (2018)

Chances are that you have completed the MSc Finance program of JBIMS and yet are not very satisfied with the results and sure about your career prospects. I suggest you 2 ways to get out of this situation

Start MBA right after M.Sc Finance: Doing this will stop you from going into a slump due to indecisiveness. I have seen quite a few students pursue MBA after MSc but mostly from the top B Schools like IIM Ahmedabad. But you should decide based on your own interests. For instance, if you are satisfied with the job you have got, then you don’t have to necessarily do an MBA. But if you think your career requires you to get an MBA degree go for it.

PGPX MBA after 4-5 years: This is even suitable for someone who has done a full-time MBA and has not received satisfactory results or you have done MBA from a mediocre B School or you have done Master’s in another field like M.Sc Finance. You may realize after 4-5 years what you exactly want in your career and an International MBA might help achieve it. This will improve your profile and career prospects.

The other option is not to do an MBA and stay where you are. You might not be ready to spend 2 years again studying considering the opportunity cost of not working for two years. In case you see no major diff between the two programs, you can just give up pursuing MBA altogether.

Is JBIMS going to conduct a separate test for MSc Finance? If yes then when?

Sabeer Chalana
