Confused between SOIL vs NDIM vs IBS Gurgaon vs FOSTIIMA for Finance – Need honest advice (Fresher)

Hi everyone,

I really need some honest guidance.

My background:

•	BBA graduate

•	Fresher (no full-time work experience)

•	Interested in Finance roles

•	I already have a 1.5+ year gap, so I cannot afford another year drop

•	Planning to join MBA/PGDM this year itself

My options right now:

1.	SOIL, Gurgaon – PGDM / PGPM

2.	NDIM, Delhi – PGDM

3.	IBS Gurgaon – PGPM (this is confusing me since PGPM is usually for work-ex people)

4.	FOSTIIMA, Delhi – PGDM

My main confusion:

•	Which of these is best for a fresher aiming for finance roles?

•	IBS Gurgaon offers PGPM – is it suitable for freshers or risky compared to PGDM?

•	I want decent finance exposure + placements + ROI, not unrealistic packages.

My priorities (in order):

1.	Finance roles & learning

2.	Decent placements + ROI

3.	Brand + alumni + long-term growth

If anyone has:

•	Studied in these colleges

•	Knows about their real placements

•	Or has industry insight

Please share your honest opinion. It will really help me take a final decision.

Thanks in advance 🙏
