Department of Financial Studies, Delhi University is a good option for students interested in hard-core finance studies. The MBA (FM) is a sought-after degree. If you aren’t getting admission into major league colleges, DFS can be a good alternative.

It is CFA affiliated and you can get scholarships for pursuing CFA degree. It offers good ROI. DFS Delhi MBA fees are only INR 26,000. While the average CTC is 13 LPA. 

The Department of Financial Studies also known as DFS, Delhi University is a great option for pursuing an MBA in Finance. The MBA Finance Management program is the flagship program of the university. 

• The institute is CFA accredited. The accreditation establishes its niche in the Finance industry. 
• DFS changes only INR 26,000 for an MBA degree. So, you don’t have to worry about education loans.
• The course curriculum followed by DFS is not as competitive as IIMs. The core Finance subjects are taught extensively. It has a university-type pedagogy. The institute also follows a semester pattern unlike the trimester pattern of IIMs.
• Every faculty member is experienced and has previous industry experience.
• The placement is pretty good. But you can’t expect placement in the lines with BLACKI league colleges. During the 2020-21 placement drive the minimum CTC offered was INR 10 LPA.
