You should enroll in TAPMI PGDM. It is better than KJ Somaiya Financial Services. The following are the reasons:

Better placement statistics in comparison to KJ.

TAPMI has received AACSB International accreditation, which is currently uncommon among Indian colleges.
TAPMI has a Bloomberg Terminal Lab, which is extremely useful for students interested in finance.
The PGDM program allows you to choose your subjects in the second year and to pursue a dual specialization.
TAPMI has a more diverse crowd than KJ because of its more rigorous profile-based selection.

The only disadvantage of TAPMI in comparison to KJ is its location. Despite its geographical disadvantage, TAPMI has been able to carve a niche for itself over the last 30 years or so.

If you have decided that you want to go for Financial Services then you should certainly choose KJ Somiya.

TAPMI also has an upgraded curriculum and has AACSB International accreditation.

Specialization:

Choosing TAPMI PGDM will let you explore the specializations at first and let you decide your major in the second year. Brand wise TAPMI has a slight edge over KJ Somaiya.
But if you are choosing finance then KJ Somaiya has an advantage as it is located in the financial capital of India.
