Actually I didn't apply for any other college. I applied to NIBM only and got in. The reason I opted this college is because of the Course they are providing. I have always intrigued by the finance world. Also Banking and Finance are backbone of any country. NIBM is an Institute established of RBI so it speaks volume about the quality of education they must be providing. Also I talked to few of the students who were already here even they recommended it highly. So I felt confident about NIBM & went for it. Admission process: I came through CMAT, but you can also opt for this college via CAT, XAT & GRE. Cut off is 94 %ile (CAT, XAT, GRE) & 98.5%ile (CMAT). After clearing the cut off you have to sit for Extempore and PI. Once you clear all these levels then only you get a chance in NIBM.

Faculties are really wonderful. They are being always helpful & kind towards the student be it in any aspect of the course. Few of the brilliant faculties here at NIBM are Dr Arindam Bandyopadhyay (faculty of Risk Management), Dr Jiji Mathews (Economics), Dr Sanjay Basu (Market Risk), Dr Tasneem Chherawala (Financial Derivatives) & many more. About the exams, we have tri-semester pattern. Exams are conducted in the mid term as well as end term. So we have to appear for 12 exams over the 2 years. Exams are of moderate level. Some of them at times might become tough but overall on moderate level only.

My topic was how can technology improve agriculture business in India. So, Similar topics are given to everyone. PI was bit inclined towards Finance and key financial ratios. I watched YouTube video, read articles for my preparation.

Good facilities for students like gym, library, cafeteria. NIBM recently made a tea post which is sort of hangout spot for students. Students can sit and relax, stroll around the campus or read in the library whatever they feel like.
