If you choose to leave any of these ensure that you get your basics clear in that very subject with help of books or other res
 Pick this if you are leaving 1 or 2 subjects from list mentioned above.
Whatever is taught can be learnt from slides and books coz mostly is theoretical still Pick one of these two if you want to l
about the banking setup of India (mind you the commercial banking setup)

This skill is not extremely important but will add value if taken
I would rather take online certifications for this as they teach limited things but yes this skill is in high demand.

Okayiiisssh subject might come handy but not

extremely needed, teacher is new so cannot comment
about pedagogy and all

Good subject, Teacher is new so cannot comment on

it

Financial modelling is an imperative skill, you can

learn it later via online courses or take this course but
it will be excel oriented and might prove to be
rigorous.

I suggest if you take the course, couple it with some

Financial Modelling course else give it a pass and learn
the skill in free time (it is a must have though)

Must take, is conceptual and foundational to

understanding stock markets, will help you manifolds.
Finance

Strictly avoid any subject offerred by this teacher

Okayyyish subject, is theoretical in nature…is a 1.5

credit ssubject so you may pick this to complete your
credits, Teachr is new so cannot comment more

Pre Requisit

Basic Econometrics

Security Analysis and Portfolio Management, and Financial Markets and Practice
are recommended, but are not pre-requisites for this course.
Basic knowledge on Sales concepts taught during the core courses.

Knowledge on the differences between B2C and B2B is important. Little bit of
understanding on the intensity of the B2B market in the modern world may help
the student to relate with the complexities of the models being taught

Useful to have some understanding of supply chain concepts and framework.

But not mandatory as one of the sessions in OM has covered the same. Students
may read once the chapter before attending this course
Feedback

Easy to go subject, mediocre learning but you can consider to ease your burden and also
this is from non finance stream

Same as above (Lakshmi Kumar's subject are easy to go with sub par learning but ideal for last trem)….
pick atleast one or both if you wish to chill

New subject, reaad the outline and talk with Jyoti sir then decide, might prove to be good

Ignore Basic econometric, I took 2…3 classes of it, it is for Quant buffs who love Integration and
calculus…..need less to say ignore this too

Useless for us (might be used in manufactureing and factory setup)……revise your costing basics from
MBA year 1 those are more than enough (although those are also rarely used)

Strictly avoid any subject offerred by this teacher

You will learn a lot in Ramesh sir's subject but it will be really rigorous and you will be bombarded with
information (1000 slides in a file)….very very theoretical in nature. Also if you take stay in good books
of the teacher (you will benefit from that in exams etc.)

Can be considered if you are looking to make a career in Commercial banks risk side.....needless to say
the
subject is good but look at the outline and decide whether to take or not

You just cannot miss this one this subject is so good, it will have impact In your personal life not only
professional, it is beautiful!

This subject also includes personal finance (you will get help in taking personal investment decisions as
well)
Mediocre learning, theoretcial in nature
Good subject, light one can be considered

Light hearted subject, go in class have a laugh and come back. There will only be light trouble in exams
but it is manageable

People were mad for this subject, it is a good one…the subject where they make you sleep meditate etc.
and only a handful get shortlisted for this subject (the selection is random)

The teachr I guess is different though (Ask Anjula she was there I guess)

This teacher should also be ignored, do not take any subject from him

BPM is not thoery it is a skill you can have (not must have but definetely beneficial)
Do take for JPMC CADP role or any other FinOps role, IF you have done 6 sigma combining it with process
modelling will benefit you a lot.
This is a decent skill to have and will come handy in many a ways

Disclaimer- the sbject is rigorous and demands practice (because it is skill oriented and not theoretical)
hence many people avoid this in 6th Trem
