Finance consistently ranks among the highest-paying MBA specializations.
Top B-Schools: ₹25–35 LPA
Mid-tier Colleges: ₹10–18 LPA
Those with strong analytical skills, a love for numbers, and an interest in stock markets, valuations, and strategic financial planning.
Finance is quants-heavy. You must excel in Statistics, Excel, and global financial awareness. Don’t confuse it with accounting — they’re very different. If you struggle with Math, finance may not be ideal. Handling million-dollar portfolios demands intelligence, up-to-date knowledge, and sharp analysis. The rewards are high, so is the pressure.
