though my first preference was PFDM(FT). which i hv eventually converted...but now i want PGDM(FT), which was my second pref.
can i change it now??
Regarding the question whether one can change from FT to Finance.
I had a chat with one of the profs at IMT.
He was of the opinion that is very much possible, since FT is the more prefered course. Lot of ppl down the ranks would be willing to take it.
Also many students will be switching their affiliations once IIMs come out with their results.
Also, there is a decent enough chances to switch major specialisation after I year as well. That of course depends on the number of students on both side willing for the switch and the credits/grades they have.
But that being said, Finance is much tougher than it appears. Most of the students are not even aware of what is being tought in there. Knowing just the course names is not enough.
Even if you take it as a minor specialisation, it gives you a good exposure to Finance and the right candidate should not have a problem in getting a Finance profile in final placement.
Ask any MBA grad, they'll tell you how their finance counterparts are always slogging in the II year as well.(In I year everyone has to do the slogging

)
Rest, of course, is upto the individual and his/her choices.
Cheers!!
