Career Advice (JBIMS)
23F here, a little confused about JBIMS options and wanted some honest advice from people who know the ecosystem well.
I gave my first MAH MBA CET attempt literally just for fun 😭 I hadn’t prepared, didn’t even properly know the sections/pattern, just wanted to see what the paper feels like. After the answer key, I realized I had scored around 120.
Then before my second attempt, I had around a week, so I gave a few mocks mainly to understand strategy/time management and now I’m expecting somewhere around 140–160.
Profile:
10th: 92.8% (ICSE)
12th: 88.4% (ISC)
BTech CS: 97% equivalent CGPA
2 years work ex at a fintech company as an Associate Technical Consultant (current package ~8-10 LPA)
The thing is — I’m not super passionate about any one domain specifically. My primary goal honestly is maximizing career growth/package.
So I’m confused between:
- Trying for JBIMS MMS
- Considering the JBIMS MSc Finance program instead
- Or just continuing my job and trying again next year for MMS if needed
I know MMS is obviously harder to get, so I wanted realistic opinions:
- How good is MSc Finance actually in terms of placements/opportunities?
- Does it significantly differ from MMS in outcomes/reputation?
- Would my tech + fintech background help there?
- If my end goal is highest possible compensation trajectory, what would you do in my place?
Not desperate to do an MBA immediately since I already have a stable job, so I’m trying to think long-term and rationally instead of just chasing a tag.
Would genuinely appreciate honest advice from current students/alumni 🙏
