hi seniors i have interest in finance and in IT sector too.. can both of these go together or i have to quit one of these.. :

what r the carreer oppurtunities as MBA in finance in IT sector???

So we have a long term planner here :)

In general, the career oppurtunities of a manager with finance and IT as the core competencies are immense. Every IT company of fame and repute has a big chunk of it interest in the banking and financial services domain.
With respect to XIMB, Fin-Sys is the most preffered area of specialisation out here. And why not? For example, we have two of the best profs. of finance, namely Prof. Banikanta Mishra and Prof. D V Ramanna here, and the students love picking on their brains.
In terms of this year's placements, the key profiles offered to students with a fin/sys or a sys/fin combo were as varied as treasury management, investment banking, equity research analysis, wealth management, credit risk management, project finance and corporate finance, to name a few.
Out here, in the 2nd year we have the option of choosing two areas of specialisations, one as a major, and the other as a minor. So, to answer ur query, the two definitely go together.
Hope i have been able to answer ur queries to ur satisfaction. ATB 😃

nalini!
u think ull clear all the sectionals quite comfortably... but(am sorry ive to use 'but') your overall score looks to me a problem.so if u lose out on the call, u know the reason why u did.

Out here, in the 2nd year we have the option of choosing two areas of specialisations, one as a major, and the other as a minor.

Okay nice question.

I think we may have to edit the above quoted part of the answer though ... AFAIK there is no such thing as major minor... u can choose a perfectly general management portfolio as well.

Assuming there are 15 electives in all during the 2nd year , It's just that any particular stream with greater than 5 subjects is considered to be a major by the industry.

There is no official certificate by the college that states whether u are a mkting or a fin or a sys major. There's not even a mention in the cert regarding this.

For example out of 15v electives u might choose to take 4 sys 4 ops 4 mark and 3 fin elective papers and that's fine with the college. U'll have to justify to the companies during placements though ,on why such a combination has been taken and what exactly are u looking for.

So there is 100% flexibility on choosing ur portfolio of subjects , if the class schedule allows it. It's the same even in IIMs as well I guess , and this flexibility is one plus point of XIMB among competing colleges.

I hope this is clear?

Cheers and ATB.

Hi della,

Its true that the sectional cut-off for qa have always been traditionally higher than that of the other sections out here. I'd would say that u r slightly on the wrong side of the border with respect to ur qa score. It will be a close call. Keep ur fingers crossed. The calls for GD/PI are expected to be out by the mid of this week. All the best.
