Management and financial education institute, the Indian Institute of Financial Management (IIFM) launched its new campus in New Delhi with twinning programmes in MBA and BBA in alliance with the Canadian college, Seneca. As part of the twinning programme, a student can study his final year from Seneca. The programmes give students a one year work permit that allows them to work while they study. Students are eligible to apply for residency to Canada later. “At the end of the programme, the student will get the IIFM MBA degree along with an Ontario graduate certificate in Financial Services Compliance Administration from Seneca,” adds Jagmohan Bhanver, CEO, IIFM.
Designed to give rise to future professionals with a global outlook, the New Delhi campus offers specialisations in Marketing, Finance, HR and IT with international accreditations, including a UGC accredited degree from India. IIFM already runs campuses in Mumbai, Pune, Indore and Ahmedabad. The institute boasts of a robust faculty from India and overseas, along with a curriculum that is vetted by some of the best educationists and industry professionals, says Bhanver. “We have professors from Harvard Business School, IIM-Ahmedabad, IIM-Kolkata, American Academy Financial Management (AAFM) and others. Besides, we have strategic business partners (leading companies in FMCG, manufacturing, banking, insurance services, IT and others) that also contribute to ensuring that all the courses offered are highly effective. Companies recruiting from IIFM include Standard Chartered, ING Bank, Bharti AXA, Kotak Securities and several others,”
he adds.
Started in 2007, IIFM merged with Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects in 2010 to form a consolidated educational company. The institute also runs a dual degree programme with the Thomas Jefferson School of Law (TJSL, San Diego, California), which is a combination of a PGPM and MS Law from TJSL, which students who aspire for specialised corporate finance careers can opt for. Going ahead, IIFM plans to start courses ‘that industry wants.’ In the pipeline are programmes in Forensic Accounting and Fraud Exam-ination and a few courses in alliance with AAFM. “We are also in talks with institutes — in India and abroad — for quality alliances,” says Bhanver.
