By understanding the perspective of your question, there shall not be a huge change if you only get an MBA done. The thing that determines it is the choices you are going to make like the firm you choose to work in, your expected salary or location or role, the work environment, and various other choices.
In 10 years, if you continue working hard, then you will probably have made 2 or 5 years of promotion. You can also simultaneously expect a major salary hike.
However, considering several drawbacks such as home loans, personal expenses, family expenditure, annual vacations, and fee structure of institutions, you are expected to live a very grounded life.
Thus, your life 10 years from now will not however result only if you particularly get an MBA from a B-school, but will take into account the choices you have made, and the hard work you were to undertake.
The difference between PGDM and PGDM-BKFS is that PGDM is the general MBA program and the course curriculum comprises all fundamental and cross-sectional areas of management while the course curriculum of PGDM-BKFS is tailor-made for Finance. In the first year for PGDM students are required to study various management-related subjects like Marketing, Finance, HR, and Operation. However, the BKFS course only includes Finance related topics.
TAPMI offers good infrastructure for BKFS. The institute has the largest state-of-arts finance lab in the country with 16 Bloomberg terminals. TAPMI also offers a unique Student Managed Investment Course (SMIC) for the finance stream in which BKFS students work in teams and each team has a mentor from industry currently working in the BFSI Sector. Also, unlike the traditional internship that PGDM students go through the BFS cohort had a two-month study tour in Bombay Stock Exchange where the students had their live projects.
Given below is a comparison between the two courses.

Yes, it is possible to change your MBA specialization at SPJIMR after the first year, but it is not a common occurrence. However, if you are looking to switch from Marketing to Finance, it is highly improbable but still possible to convince the management.
It's important to keep in mind that Finance is a specialization that requires a basic background in financial knowledge, which is not always the case for Marketing. This means that changing from Marketing to Finance may be harder for the management to accept than the other way around. It's also important to note that some students have been rejected when requesting to change their specialization.
If you have a financial background, it's possible that you initially tried to get into the finance specialization at SPJIMR but were accepted for your second preference of Marketing. If this is the case, it may be difficult to convince the management to switch your specialization in the second year. However, if you excel in finance subjects in the first year, it may be possible to convince them otherwise.
