At no single aspect does JBIMS give an edge to FMS. Owing to its outstanding performance in delivering management talent every year, it attracts top firms for recruitment and the best candidates. The CAT cutoff gives an edge to the top IIMs and thereby causing great competition. The absence of a state/regional quota also ensures that students don’t have to compromise on quality and merit. Let’s discuss some more points where FMS gives an edge to JBIMS thereby proving its worth.

• Placements: Although many companies that visit JBIMS, visit FMS too, the number and quality of roles offered to vary. Also, JBIMS lacks offers from international companies like Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Royal Bank of Scotland that offer IB roles in FMS. After analyzing the placement reports you can see that no significant Corporate Finance Roles have been offered at JBIMS.

• Consulting: Almost every firm that visits JBIMS, visits FMS too. But FMS enjoys additional offers from top firms like BCG and Avalon consulting offering strategic consulting roles. FMS also enjoys the participation of Cognizant Business Consulting, Infosys Management Consulting, and Capgemini.

• General Management: The domain of General Management is better at FMS than JBIMS. This is because the big names in the sector like TAS, Airtel, and Mahindra do not visit the campus of JBIMS

• Clubs and committees: There are many student-driven bodies at FMS, the” Finance Society, and the Consulting Club that offer assistance and additional skills and knowledge in the respective fields.
