What will my life be like in 10 years if I get an MBA in marketing or finance from SIBM/SIIB, Pune?

RP
Rishabh Pathak Posted On : June 8th, 2021
MBA from Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune (2017)

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.

  1. You should be sure enough about what you are passionate about during pursuing MBA.
  2. Join a job sector that can lead you to a good state.
  3. If necessary, you should also build an alternate income for other essential factors.
  4. You should also begin pro-bono consulting during the weekends.
  5. You can also consult a startup or can choose to become a mentor or adviser or helper too.

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.

What's the difference between TAPMI core pgdm and bkfs?

VM
Vihan Manjunath Posted On : August 28th, 2020
PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2016)

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.

Can the MBA specialization be changed at SPJIMR after the first year?

JJ
Jason Jose Posted On : March 13th, 2023
Studied at S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR)

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.

How good is IIEST Shibpur's MBA department, with respect to the faculty and placements?

AT
Ankit Tiwari Posted On : April 12th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

My brother attended IIEST Shibpur. So, I know a little bit about the institute. 

  • The School of Management (SoM) is quite young considering its inception was just 15 years ago. 
  • As far as the faculty is concerned, they are all young, willing to learn, and are quite open to connecting with students. 
  • You see, the school is in fact a part of a larger science and technology institute. Thus, it is trying to offer various multi-disciplinary opportunities to students.
  • On the other hand, you will find that the school also has a larger placement cell. Due to this, they have created a brand name that has a positive impact on students.

If you are one of those students who do not mind going beyond normal boundaries and learning beyond theory, want to gain practical knowledge, and try experimental learning, you should definitely go to IIEST SoM.
