Before joining any college it's better to perform some research on it. The foremost thing is you need to know all the placement details from alumni or the students who are currently studying in that college. Don’t choose a college based only on their advertisement.
Dalmia NL, SIES (MMS), and Welingker(PGDM) all these colleges are well-reputed institutions in Mumbai for management studies. I have friends pursuing their studies at these colleges. Based on what I heard, I will say N L Dalmia is the best college among these three. It has better placement records, ranking, and reputation.
- For Finance specialization, N L Dalmia has a limited student intake, i.e. 60 seats.
- Additionally, the institute has Mumbai's first Bloomberg Finance Lab.
- It has a placement average of 100%. The average package for placement in the finance stream is around 6.5 lacs, while the highest package offered is above 13 lacs.
So, N L Dalmia is definitely a better choice. But before making a decision, do your own research first.

How good is SCMHRD for MBA in finance?
One of my relatives who used to be a student of SCMHRD feels that the course is directly proportional to the quality or effort of the students who are a part of it.
He has shed some light on the following:
- Academics: The course curriculum can be a tad gruesome and it has more to do with finance as all the students are prepared to tough it out in finance. They will take some other specialization if not finance. So he advises the students and would-be students to prepare themselves. The course structure is similar to the standards of the industry and also on equal footing with other colleges of repute.
- Placements: Major banks like ICICI, Citibank, AXIS, HDFC, etc come to the institute for placements. They may offer positions like relationship managers or credit analysis, etc. They can also offer positions like equity research in HSBC, verity solutions, credit analysis in JPMC, DE Shaw, etc. You will be able to choose from a wide range of domains.
- Faculty: One of the teachers was CFA/FRM qualified. She had completed her CA, MBA, Ph.D., and was a banker.
- Background: Most of the candidates are from an engineering background. Some are from the CA background, BBA, and also from the commerce background.
The institute also provides a good platform for appearing in various events of the institute and corporate events. It can be a good way to stand out from the crowd.

Which is better, IMI Delhi PGDM or IMT-G PGDM Finance?
Both the options you mentioned, IMI Delhi PGDM and IMT G Finance are good in their own individual aspects. So you should rather be asking which is better for you.

The former is a good option if you are certain about your interest in Finance and want to excel in that sector no matter what while the latter is good if you are open to all options.
Talking about IMI Delhi in general, the B School offers an abundance of opportunities through student bodies and other student driven activities. Moreover the additional locational advantage is what makes it a fairly good option. The batch size is also not too big and thus balances the student teacher ratio.

All these factors make IMI Delhi a very good choice in comparison to IMT G.
