Is there anyone who has succesfully apply for this scholarship?
I wanna ask that the nominating letter is significant?
Is it the keypoint dat GARP to judge if you are available to get the sponsor or just a acquirement only? Thanks .

Its good to see a lot many people joining the Bandwagon

Regarding Group for Schweser Notes.

Heres the Full List now

Myself - ssu039 (Mumbai)
KK - catparanoid (Mumbai)
Rahul Igidr (Mumbai)
Dsylexic (Mumbai)
stratmanish (Mumbai)

Andy_Jaan (Mumbai)
Girishdn (Chennai)
doraa7 (Chennai)

Its 8 people now,

I will coordinate from Mumbai, who takes the responsibility from chennai.

I have some peple added on my Orkut profile, some have pmed their Contact nos to me.

Remaining people, please pm me ur contact details and add me up in Orkut.

In any case, lets wait till Schweser comes up in Laxmi Xerox centre in Mumbai. It will be available latest by May 1st week. There has been a lot of discrepancy on the materials that Laxmi provides - Some people dont get CDs, some dont get Question Banks, sometimes pages are missing and et al,

So I urge you guys that Dont buy the Notes from Laxmi in a Hurry, and make sure that one gets all the notes properly.

Keep all guns flaring for the FRM exam

cheers,

Shyam

Hi Shyam,
Prinstine is going to start a training programme in hyderabad by june. How good is it to join their training programme. Is the material provided by prinstine enough to get prepared for the xam. Then coming to the list of guys you have mentioned in your thread, wats it aimed at?? is it to form a group to mobilise the material.


Cheers,
Surya

hi everyone,
I will be appearing for FRM exam this Nov. I am an engineering grad working in software industry for the last 3 yrs.
I have been closely following this thread, and have inferred that the following will be sufficient for the exam prep (given i hail from a non finance background)
1)start with JC Hull, then Gujrati
2)then go on to FRm handbook
3)schweser/bionic turtle notes
4)core readings

Is this list sufficient or do ppl read something else as well like for statistics or basic fin market stuff before jumping into the FRM prep stuff

Sorry if the question above sounds v naive but really need the help of some puys here to clear my doubt.

-------------------

Its better you have a basic understanding of finance before you jump in. FRM is tough.dont underestimate it. I know CFA charterholders and IIT Grads flunking out because of overconfidence.
You'll find it difficult to grasp the concepts in Hull unless you already have an understanding of the terms used in derivatives etc.Engg gives you a good headstart.but hey, many engineers work in risk mgmt these days and strong stats and probability knowledge is a given .
plus if you are working long hours (likey if you are a s.w guy) it may be difficult to spare many hours a day starting from scratch. if you are still asking basic questions at this point in time, it may be too early for you to attempt 2008 Nov realistically speaking.
