What are some tips regarding MBA (finance) from IMT Ghaziabad? I'd be joining the college in June.

Choosing IMT Ghaziabad is a great decision. My brother and his friends have just passed out from IMT Ghaziabad by completing their MBA in finance, and here are some handy tips from their perspective.

• There is no doubt that you need to study hard in the finance stream as competition is fairly high. However, do not forget to indulge with seniors and socialize as much as possible, because MBA is not only about bookish knowledge. Yes, MBA is incomplete without social interaction and practical knowledge.
• Make sure you are well versed with MS Excel. Most of the concepts are practiced in Excel especially the finance functions.
• Observe the Stock markets (Indian & global), develop a taste for Derivatives, Futures & Options & Investment Management pretty early on.
• Also, an online certification from a decent platform would certainly help grow your skills and might come in handy in the future.

At the end of the day, remember that these 2 years are going to be one of the best years of your life. Therefore make sure to make the most of every moment by socializing alongside taking care of your academics. Also, MBA in finance is a fairly good course with lucrative jobs in the industry. Henceforth, if you build a good background in the finance stream, you will have ample job opportunities with good remuneration.
