How is PGDMFM in ITM Navi Mumbai?
I completed my PGDM in Financial Markets from ITM Navi Mumbai in the year 2022. I am currently working as an Asset Desk Manager at HDFC Bank. The average package for my branch during the 2022 placements stood at INR 6.5 LPA.
In PGDM FM, your hard work matters the most. A trading lab is provided which helps us to learn more about trading. Most companies come to the campus offering a sales profile. ITM Navi Mumbai is not among the top business schools, so if you want to go for research or technical analysis, you will need to work hard.
The professors possess a good knowledge of their field. They are very helpful and friendly. It is you, however, who will have to take the initiative.
Go for Financial Markets if you are motivated and wish to pursue research. Otherwise, you can go for other PGDM specializations offered by ITM Navi Mumbai according to your goals.

Should I opt for ITM Navi Mumbai or Amity Business School?
It's difficult to compare ITM Navi Mumbai with Amity Business Schools as both the institutes are on a similar level so you can choose one over the other based on your personal preferences. The batch size is quite similar. Amity is a good choice for North Indians while IMT is great for South Indians.
If I had to make a personal comment, I would say that Amity is slightly better considering its location, quality of education, and the exposure offered. It also enjoys a better brand name than IMT. Amity Business Schools was the first to invite Marketing specialist Philip Kotler.
Both the institutes take in candidates with good profiles and communication skills so make sure you have worked on them. The ROI might be less for average students so it all eventually depends on your hard work.
Which is better for an MBA (finance), ITM Navi Mumbai, or XIME Bangalore?
Most of my friends are doing pretty well after graduating from XIME Bangalore. In my opinion, you really do not need to compare the two. Here are some reasons why:

- Most of these are scattered throughout fortune 500 companies, startups and some are even entrepreneurs.
- You can even get in touch with them via online groups.
- Most of the professors are well versed in their fields.
- You will of course find mediocre ones as well but there are more good ones than them.
- Dr. Philip, the founder, who is an ex IIM Bangalore dean is very well professionally connected.
- The college has a number of intercollegiate competitions and the tuition fees are not that high either.
- You will also get a lot of international exposure.
- You will get to interact with students from Latin America, USA, Europe, etc. You can also try to bag an international internship which is generally funded by college.
