You can also become an expert in the field.

Not having your 12th standard marks listed on your resume may result in missing out on some companies that have a graduation/12th standard percentage as part of their screening criteria. However, there are not many companies that consider this as a criterion.
Not having your 12th standard marks listed on your resume will not render you jobless.
A requirement for past academic records is only used for initial screening purposes by some companies. The companies that move forward with you for subsequent rounds of evaluations, such as group discussions and personal interviews, evaluate you based on your performance in these rounds.
It is important to note that if a company does not choose you, despite your excellent performance in the interviews, simply because of your previous academic records, it is the company that misses out, not you.
Leaving a job with such good pay is a very risky decision and should be considered only if it’s the top B School you are after. These include the top IIMS, XLRI, FMS, SP JAIN, or MDI. Giving up your high-paying job to join IMT Ghaziabad does not make sense. The ROI will not be worth the program considering the two-year opportunity loss of salary and high IMT fees.
Moreover, IMT Ghaziabad placements are quite restricted in the sense that if you are not among the top 100 students in a batch of 600 students, you will end up with an average package only. The companies visiting IMT Ghaziabad offer the MT position usually to freshers and not students with work experience. Considering all this I don’t think leaving your job for an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad is a wise decision.
Yes, the CFA degree will very likely fetch you a decent package at IIM Ahmedabad or Calcutta. This is because companies prefer their interns and analysts to be well versed in subjects from finance and economics. CFA charter is an easy way to ensure that eligibility requirement.
Some organisations conduct prior interactions with the would-be interns before the actual interview. Here, junior executives interact with the future interns and offer pre placement offers.
So this degree will help you get the interview call but the rest depends on your performance in the interview. CFA degree is definitely a game-changer.

As you can see BCG hires more than McK although there has been an increase in both. IIM Kozhikode is becoming famous for its excellent placement drives with visits from reputed firms like Accenture, Deloitte S&O , EY , PwC and KPMG.
If you are considering studying finance, it is not recommended to do so solely for the purpose of earning a high salary. Students who have graduated from newer Indian Institute of Management (IIM) programs, including the one in Ranchi, have reportedly obtained jobs with salaries ranging from 9-20 lakhs per year, with a median of around 10 lakhs per year. However, it is important to genuinely enjoy the field of study rather than just being attracted to it for financial reasons.
It is also worth noting that as you progress in your career, you may eventually take on managerial responsibilities regardless of your field of study. If you are unsure about your interest in finance, you may want to try taking an introductory course on Coursera to see if it is something you truly enjoy.
During 2016, IMI witnessed an increase in batch size from 240 to 360. This took place under the discretion of the then Director General Padma Shree Dr. Bakul Dholakia, who was responsible for affairs during that time. Throughout his tenure, IMI excelled and the NIRF Rankings and Placement Reports during that time are a testament to the same. After this, he left but his work was in progress.
Post this scenario, the corporate world was struck with demonetization, and falling banking sectors and this combined with increased batch size caused havoc and created immense pressure on the placement cell. The placement figures saw a drastic fall despite being the hub of Finance.
However, IMI Delhi stood strong in those difficult times, bore the brunt of the crisis, and managed to secure 100% placement during that batch. The only slight drawback it faced was the reduction in the number of recruiters.
The number of business development profiles like banking, IT, marketing, and consulting roles, increased miraculously.
To sum it up, the increased batch size discouraged many students and this is where the discontentment regarding soles profiles stemmed from. Still, it’s not justified to say that IMI Delhi only provided sales profiles to its students. Post-pandemic IMI Delhi has been able to rejuvenate its reputation considerably and is maintaining a healthy balance ever since
A really important piece of advice, a B School can show you the path to success but will not take you to your goal. It’s you who has to get up, work hard and follow the path.
The chances of one getting front m-end investment bank roles just after finishing a PGM in IIM Kozhikode are extremely low.
This is because IIM Kozhikode has little to offer in the finance field as compared to A,B and C. The total financial roles available might be around 5% of the entire batch. There are some international opportunities in Indonesia, Africa etc.
IIM Kozhikode has amazing opportunities in mid-office level jobs. You can work here, get experience and then switch to the front-end.
The conclusion is that if you want to get a front end role right after PGP then go for A,B or C. But if you are open to learning different fields then IIM Kozhikode is the best option.
