Hi Psycho,
Safely assuming the exchange rate to be close to 42 INR at the time the txn happens, you would need close to 550*42 = 23100 INR in your CC acct. Plus, there is a conversion fee that is charged, and service tax on that...add a margin of another 1000 bux...net-net, ensure that you have 24000+ limit on your card account before you register

[anshuk23]

and yes...as someone mentioned earlier in this forum, tseems like the card account is automatically going to be debited every year for the annual membership fee..so not only wd you have to ensure that you have funds available in your card acct at that time (to avoid going into overlimit, and thus being charged by the bank for the same), but also would you have to ensure that you keep that card acct live forever (or update GARP about it...the formalities of which are still unclear to me)

Hi guys,

I have been following this thread since a long time and it has really increased my level of interest to appear for the FRM exam in Nov 08.

I just want to gauge how doable is this course. I am a B.Com with 5 years of experience in Investment Banking (worked in Treasury and Financial Controlling functions) in India and abraod. Currently I am placed in Singapore. I want to know is there anyone from a Commerce background attempting this exam in November?

For some personal reasons, I am taking a break from work so would like to utilize this time to give a 100% dedicated effort to prepare for this exam. Keeping that in mind and also the fact that I am from a non-engineering / non-fin background, will July be too late to start preparing for it?

Anyone who can share his/her thoughts on this will be a great help to me.

Cheers.

HI Zimmer,

Welcome to PG

Me from a BMS Background, and will be giving the FRM exam this year.

For Quant Risk - People of Engineering Background, Statistics, Economics(Econometrics to be precise) will have the most benefits

For Market Risk - People of MBA Finance who are already done with Hull, will have the maximum benefits.

Rest of the course will be on similar lines for all.

Since you already work in Treasury and Financial Control functions, you may be familiar with many of the concepts required in the exam.

Starting in July will be a bit late, To gauge yourself - You can start off reading Hull and Jorion - FRM Handbook. If you find all these comfortable, the you are fit for the exam.

cheers,

Shyam

Hi all,

I am an MBA (Finance) and an engineer. I have one and an half years of experience as Research Analyst. I have relatively good grounding in Finance.


As somebody was mentioning in this forum, I too believe formal training and then self study...
I am seriously looking at taking coaching from Pristine (I would prefer ACE as it spread for 15 weeks, but they do not conduct classes in Chennai) for FRM. Before that I want know is it worth money taking coaching in Pristine? Has anybody taken coaching at Pristine or heard of somebody taking coaching at Pristine? How good is that? the curriculum structure, faculty, advisory, tips for the exam, etc...

Links:
Ace 3 levels - Ace3Levels Coaching for the FRM Exams conducted by GARP

kindly pour in suggestions in this regard,

thanks and regards,
Dora
