What is the best preparation strategy for the JBIMS MSc finance interview?

If you have a non-finance background, it is recommended that you begin your preparation for the JBIMS MSc finance interview at least 4-5 months prior to your interview for the MSc Finance course. You must be sure about your interest in finance, as M.Sc Finance is a very core course. If you have a finance background, you are expected to have a deeper understanding of the points mentioned below. Along with knowing the "whats", you must also know the "whys". In terms of preparation, it is important for you to:

• Be well-informed about the current market scenario and keep track of SENSEX, NIFTY, gold pricing, INR/USD, and oil pricing.
• Have a good understanding of the current Indian economy, including its GDP, inflation, and the factors that impact it.
• Stay updated with the RBI rates, including Repo, Reverse Repo, CRR, and SLR, and know their meanings.
• Be aware of the current global scenario, such as Demonetisation, BREXIT, and Trump.
• Consider the question "Why MSc Finance?" as the first and foremost point of focus in your preparation, even if you have a good academic background. You may still be asked why you chose MSc in Finance over an MBA or PGDM.
• If you have work experience, you must be familiar with your work and its impact on business.

By being thorough with all of these above-mentioned points, you will be well-prepared for the MSc Finance interview.
