IIMC+ NIIT combo provides a course called Executive Program in Applied Finance (EPAF), which might suit your needs. The fees are close to 1.2 lakhs for the same. Try Googling and you wil get all info.

IIMC+ DWGE provides EPBM (Executive Program in Business Management) but it has a slightly higher work-ex requirement.

If in case you dont have any work-ex, then you may go ahead and do CFA/Diploma programs from various universities via distance learning mode.

Whatever you do, please dont do NCFM modules, they are not even worth toilet papers and won't give you much knowledge. They are pretty shallow and are not very well regarded too.
The only reason why people do NCFM is because as per SEBI regulations, if you want to punch trades on an NSE Terminal (NEAT), then it is mandatory that you have to pass NCFM module/modules. Otherwise it serves no other purpose.

I did CFA and got a great deal of knowledge out of it. My experience with NCFM was more like a joke. I have the certificates for Derivatives Module and Capital Market Dealers Module and I did not study for either of them and got 90%+ in both......this explains that these are crappy certifications only in existence because there is a freaking law behind them...these are basically equivalent of NASD Series 7 and 63 exams in the US or the SII Diplomas in the UK.

HI TUMTUM...I have a clarification...I wanted to write CFA in June...But I could not register for the exam on time...I have got an admit from Tapmi..I do not want to waste these 2 months..Is there any equivalent certification??
I was planning to give NCFM...

oh..ok...:-)...it actually depends on your profile...if you are an engineering student...the ncfm courses would add value as it shows that u have an inclination towards financial markets...and defnitley provide you with understanding abt various kindsa markets.

If you are a finance student,NCFM courses would provide bit more insight in the respective modules.Not major help

If you are planing to become a dealer/distributor some of the courses(AMFI, the other dealers module/corporate governance) are mandatory.

I think for the amount of money (1000s..very less compared to other big shot xamz) and the time spent(only few hrs of learning) NCFM courses are good enough.But the 500 rupee xam (Financial market:beginners module) is worthless.All this is my personal opinion...we can happily disagree :-)

Does anyone have more info on the overall value of the EPBM course offered by IIM Calcutta through Hughes??
Thanks a lot!
