IMT Ghaziabad has announced a strategic partnership with the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) for a first of its kind Student Immersion Program. This initiative provides a hands-on experience and unique exposure to Indian securities markets for students enrolled in the Post Graduate Diploma in Management – Banking and Financial Services (PGDM-BFS).
Announcing the initiative, Dr. Vishal Talwar, Director at IMT Ghaziabad, said, "This initiative serves as a clear demonstration of our unwavering commitment to delivering a comprehensive and industry-specific education experience for our students.”
Speaking about the collaboration, Dr. Rachana Baid, Dean of Academics at NISM, said, “NISM is delighted to collaborate with IMT Ghaziabad for the PGDM-BFS Students’ Immersion Program. Our advanced facilities and experienced faculty are well-equipped to offer students a comprehensive understanding of the securities markets. We look forward to nurturing the next generation of financial professionals through this partnership.”
Spanning around six weeks with 100 contact hours, this IMT Ghaziabad Student Immersion Program with NSIM is designed for approximately 120 students. The curriculum includes courses and an industry project, ensuring a robust blend of academic rigour and practical experience. Students can leverage NISM’s state-of-the-art simulated trading facilities and gain first-hand exposure through visits to prominent institutions such as SEBI, NSE, BSE, CDSL, and NSDL. Additionally, students will benefit from networking opportunities with industry practitioners and regulators during institutional visits, fostering valuable connections.
Sharing the rationale for this launch, Dr Talwar said, "By bridging the gap between academic learning and the dynamic landscape of financial markets, we aim to provide our students with invaluable hands-on experience and real-world insights right from within Mumbai – India’s financial capital. We are confident that this immersive experience will not only equip our students with the necessary skills but also enable them to build robust professional networks, thus empowering them to excel in their future careers."
