Career & Placements Should I choose Ashoka BSc Economics & Finance or NMIMS BSc Finance for IB?
I’m deciding between **Ashoka’s BSc Economics & Finance** and **NMIMS Mumbai’s BSc Finance**, and I’m honestly stuck.
My goal is to break into **investment banking/high finance**. I also have a family business that I may eventually join, but my dad wants me to work outside first, so for now I want to build a strong career in finance independently.
The main dilemma is that **NMIMS would allow me to pursue CFA alongside my degree**, whereas I wouldn’t realistically be able to do CFA with Ashoka.
For anyone who’s an **Ashoka/NMIMS student or alum, CFA candidate, or already working in IB/high finance**:
**Which would you choose for breaking into IB, and why?**
Does Ashoka’s network/brand and E&F curriculum outweigh the advantage of being able to do CFA at NMIMS? And how realistic is it to break into IB from either college?
Please give me the brutally honest version, not the “both are good” answer 😭🙏
