The Department of Financial Studies also known as DFS, Delhi University is a great option for pursuing an MBA in Finance. The MBA Finance Management program is the flagship program of the university. 

• The institute is CFA accredited. The accreditation establishes its niche in the Finance industry. 
• DFS changes only INR 26,000 for an MBA degree. So, you don’t have to worry about education loans.
