Cool people you guys have done great analysis on your part. Seems like everybody got his homework done. This is truly great for the benefit of CCAP program.
I am a graduate from the first batch. My reactions after completion of the program :
-- I am truly happy with my compensation. Its been a good reward in correlation with my performance, same with everybody
But compensation besides your performance is also a factor of ur business unit interms how it is fairing in tough times like today... a nature that exists all over the world in all companies... every1 got the minimum 5.. lot got more... but no 8-9 lakhs plsss, dont be soooo optimistic, CRISIL doesnt pay this much at all at entry levels.....
-- I got a certification from CRISIL for my study as wella s Work-EX... (the work certificate says that I was associated with CRISIL from 2007 to 2009 as a part of CCAP..During this period I WORKED from Mon-Thu with my department) plus i will get a certificate from NITIE too, its not in hand till nw due to some operational errors but its a surety,,...... So tmrw if i go out for job hunting, i will show them all, market myself by projecting that I hv 2 years work ex... i will be able to prove as i know wat i worked and 3 months into the job i did the same job as a CA or an MBA... plus an association of a 2 year full time prog wit nitie is in itself an added bonus.. the amount of contact hours of the study portion are equal to a standard MBA in any b-school.. u attend classes for more than 1000 hours...

No technical WorkEx exists... so no counting of 2 years work-ex for any b-school admissions where it is mandatory

I work with GAC

Well that's all I know... CCAP has been worth the risk for me, but before joining the program I knew that following things:
--This aint an MBA
--This won give me any AICTE approved degree, I never cared about it..
--I would try and get the best out of the program and the names attached to it...

Please weigh your objectives, options and aspirations well before joining... any querries call me straight.. my contacts are available on Contact Us CRISIL CERTIFIED ANALYST PROGRAM

Great to see the support from our seniors... Thank You Guys... !!

People have loads of misconceptions about CCAP only becoz it has jst started 2 yrs back and its only upto us to market it among the students and others in the domain. Hope we wil succeed in it and do justice to what CCAP will be offering us in the next 2 yrs...

Hey ani.davv
thanks for the informative post.I got to know about CCAP through PG.Will definitely try for it next year.Can you tell me,though, how do I define an "interest in finance" ? Am mostly interested in the Capital Markets (all the facets,not just trading).Do you feel this can be classified as being interested in finance?Maybe I sound like a greenhorn, but your posts come out as very structured ones.So thought I should put this to you?

::This query goes to all other PGs too ::

@avijit...reading is one thing which will hep you structure your thoughts and ur intentions on any subject. So I suggest you purchase/borrow/download a few books on finance and economics....... capital markets would turn out to be a very small % of finance.....in fact most of the interesting stuff aint in capital markets........ try a few torrents for intelligent investor and the few available podcasts on aswath damodaran' site..........just google d name.......ul get ur answer

@aves.agarwal
Thanks buddy for your input I am doing MA in Economics.So I "think" I am interested in finance.But how do I make the interview panel see this? Because I tend to get dumbfounded when questions are thrown at me from all sides

Hi, I'm preparing for MAH-CET & would like to know whether preparing for the CCAP online entrance test is the same. I havn't been preparing for CAT. Would i be in a disadvantage here , in terms of test prep?

[Sklar]

Does anyone have old CCAP test papers

[shankla]

CCAP old test papers wont be available... But its more or less on the same lines of CAT...
With CAT going online this year, one can actually hold a better chance to prepare for CCAP Entrance Test...
