India’s leading stock exchange, the National Stock Exchange has partnered with the premier Lovely Professional University in Jalandhar, to launch a three year BBA Programme in Financial markets and two year MBA Programme in Financial markets, from the 2015 academic session.
The courses will impart both academic and employable skills to students who study the BBA or MBA course and make them market ready, for meaningful jobs in the rapidly growing financial markets.
As part of the undergraduate or post graduate course in Financial markets, students will study some subjects of the University as well as NCFM modules from NSE. NSE’s Certification in Financial Markets (NCFM) are modules on different aspects of the market, which will empower students with a strong foundation on different products, segments and trading strategies in the market. BBA students will study 10 NCFM and MBA students will study 14 NCFM modules e.g. Capital Market, Derivative Market, Commodities Market, Compliance, Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management, Technical Analysis, Financial Valuation and Modeling etc.
NSE’s MD and CEO, Ms Chitra Ramkrishna said ‘’ We would like to leverage our joint strengths to benefit hundreds of students who want to pursue a career in the Financial markets. Students will get hands on experience of the markets, by learning on specially created mock investment, trading and portfolio management software.’’
It is also a win win situation for industry because they can recruit job ready stock market Professionals from the University and in turn save time and resources which would have been spent on training new employees.
The University will give successful candidates a degree as well as credit marks awarded by NSE for the NCFM modules.
The mock software , designed by NSE called NSE Learn to Trade (NLT) has many key features: a modular step by step approach to learn trading skills, 4 modules as building blocks for speed and accuracy, another 5 for mock trading in cash and derivatives, investment skills through fundamental and technical analysis and mutual funds.
