My personal opinion is being in Mumbai will give you an added advantage of being in the "financial capital" of India which will have an impact on the opportunities you get and in case if you are not able to make it to one of these colleges and have to do your MBA this year then going for a Mumbai based b-school would be good move. I hope this helps you.
Apart from IIM C, IIM Indore has also build up a good lineup of finance firms in the recent years. Goldman Sachs, JPMC, DB, Credit Suisse, Nomura, Edelweiss have been marquee recruiters for IIM Indore for quite some time now. So have been international retail banks like Standard Chartered, HSBC etc. and Indian retail banks like Yes Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI bank etc. You can check the IIM Indore placement report on Insideiim and on their website to get a better idea. Moreover IIM Indore also has a tie up with the CFA Institute which gives up access to better resources and benefits if you want to pursue a cfa certification also.
There are other colleges as well doing good in finance like IIM L and SPJAIN. What I would suggest is taking a look at the placement reports of the colleges and doing a comparative analysis.
IIM C is especially known for its finance speciality.
These are star colleges and I would like to tell you instead of finding specialized college look for the best college because here also you can see the 3 best college for your finance are also the 3 best college for MBA in India.
As you will go down the college rankings your learning opportunities might be more or less at least in old IIMs and few special private colleges but your placement might get affected to some extend. On campus placement is a little more important as it helps you to get a kick start and increase your growth rate. Rest of your journey will obviously depends on your knowledge and dedicated work.
So aim for getting into top colleges you will by your own will get opportunity to learn a lot.
All the best for all your preparations!!
