NSE to to introduce PG programme in financial market

Updated on: Monday, June 04, 2012

With the financial sector to create more than one crore jobs before the end of this decade, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is keen to bridge the skill deficit in the financial sector. In a unique tie-up with the National Institute of Financial Management ( NIFM, which was set up by the Finance Ministry, Government of India), NSE is starting a one-year, full-time, post graduate course in financial markets and a one-year, weekend post graduate course for working professionals, in financial markets.
 
These courses will be a combination of classroom training and training to trade on simulated market software, specially designed by NSE, called NSE Learn to Trade or NLT. The idea is to make both students and working professionals adept at investment and trading skills. Apart from upgrading their skills, in tune with latest technology, this training will open up job opportunities for students and executives in investment banks, research firms, mutual funds, brokerages and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) centres.

Chitra Ramkrishna, joint MD of the NSE, said, “This is the first time that specialised market simulation software has been designed in the country, to train students and professionals to trade on the same tools that are used widely by the market community. We are confident that this experience will greatly enhance skills and help students and executives to grow in the financial sector.”

For the executive course, classes and practical training will be held partly at the NSE office in Delhi and partly at the NIFM institute in Faridabad (part of the NCR region), every weekend. The full-time course will require hostel stay at the NIFM Faridabad institute. Both these courses will start from July (full-time July 30 and weekend programme July 15) and will be jointly certified by NSE and NIFM. Candidates will be required to appear for NSE – NIFM online test on June 30 or July 1.

The online tests will be held in 12 cities including the metros, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Indore, Jammu, Jaipur, Chandigarh and Lucknow.
Those who are interested in these courses can send their applications to the NSE office in Delhi.
