1. How are the placements for finance? What are the companies and the profiles that students are being offered . I wanted to raise this question because SJMSOM is widely known to be very strong in operations and systems.
2. What are the electives offered for finance . I did see in the ciricullam that there are around 12 courses that are mentioned . But are all of them being offered?
3. Will we have time to pursue other activities like preparing for CFA and other financial certifications . How many of you got time to complete such certifications?

1. Please refer the placement report. It has information about the companies and profiles. A lot of new finance companies have been added in this years placements.
2. The electives offered depends on the interest shown by the students. Some electives are dropped as less than 6 students show interest in these. All electives important from placement perspective are definitely offered as the students take keen interest in them. Usually, around 75% of the electives shown in the website are taken up by the students.
3. You will have to make time for CFA and your other interests. It all depends on your priorities. Last year, more than 20% of the batch had spent considerable time preparing for CFA. However, the numbers reduced later, as many of them dropped their plans and withdrew their application due to the legal issues with CFA. The junior batch would certainly beat the senior's stats by a big margin!
Cheers
