hi,
i am a BTech(cse) 2011 passout without a job till yet neither do i have any interest to go in the coding world.its been a year now,so anyone can help me out??
i will be giving cat 2012 for sure but my preference was to gain some work-ex,but......
anyways can u guys plzzz suggest me some certification which i can pursue during this idle time.
alll suggestions are welcomed

Can someone please let me know the cost of APICS CPIM and CSCP certification in India? Also, what are the affordable study materials available for these certifications?

Sorry if i am spamming, but i could not find answer to these questions even after some googling.

CPIM has four modules and can be considered if u dont have any experience. Each module costs u around 12-13k.
On the other hand if u have 2 years of workex then u can write CSCP. Which cost around 46 k.
If u have any more doubts contact me on at or see this site ::THE KnoWerX GROUP OF COMPANIES ::.

Its a bit old post (2 months to be specific) but then I thought I should reply because there is a small correction in this reply given by uniqueinstinct. So for others reading this thread later it becomes useful.

There are 5 modules (and not 4) for a CPIM certification. What they are & brief details about each are available here. Thats the website for APICS (Association for Operations Management) the provider of CPIM credential. So you can browse through for more info. For your ease I am also attaching the brochure available for download from that website.

Now even I'm planning to take up the first module that is BSCM of this certification on the next available date which is 15th September 2012. Last date to register is 27th July 2012. So anyone else who is taking up this test or plan to or interested in? We can probably sync up and share our thoughts/material etc. Or does anyone know where I can get the Exam Content/Syllabus and some study material? I have not registered for it yet. So anyone who has taken the test and can share some info or more gyaan on it?

Btw that KnoWerX website is the most stupid thing I've seen!! Some links do not work, some links don't have anything, and the readability (or look and feel) of the website is horrible!! Anyways I've mailed them asking for more information about some classes/training/sample questions/learning material that they may have. Hopefully they'll reply back!! I mean being the only provider of the test here in India they should at least be maintaining a proper/decent website. Or is it that they have the monopoly and are least bothered!

P.S: @uniqueinstinct Posting personal email ID's is against the rules of this forum!

Am not very sure how much the treasury module per se is going to help you get into treasury roles, banks are choosy in hiring people for treasury.

A CFA would definitely help, but more importantly I think relevant work experience is something which would help you get through.

Couldn't be of much help here :(

Thanks Dhruv :clap:

CFA is the baap of all finance certifications, if you are really interested in finance then think about it. CFA(pursuing)+MBA finance guys will always be distinguished from guys with only MBA Finance. this is my personal experience, when it comes to placements some compnies first shortlist students on the basis of their CV and at this time "pursuing CFA" plays an important part, not only on campus but off campus too.
if you start with CFA(US) today you will be able to complete LEVEL 1 by the end of 3rd semester and this is the time when placements starts.
Or you can go with CFA (ICFAI),India.

deejay gr8 is right about CFA but taking up a course as huge as CFA may not be the right choice if you are looking for some specific kind of career in finance like derivatives or mortgages or fixed income. CFA is best for portfolio mgt as level 3 really focusses on that. NCFM is absolutely of no use with about 100% pass rate. There so many B.com graduates who clear 5 or more during their grad only. Go for CFA if you are not sure about what career path you want to take. Or you can take on specific FLIP certifications which you think would be suitable for you. These certifications are rigorous unlike NCFM which test you on the basis of your mere presence in the exam. And you may get a preference in your placements with CFA or Flip.

Can sm1 please throw some light on HRCI? is it valuable?

I have given and cleared the TCM module FLIP has a facility where certified users can apply for jobs specific to their certifications. As far as I remember there are jobs in treasury and forex sales.

Thanks Dhruv :clap:
What is the job scene after doing the Treasury module? I have heard that banks are very choosy about hiring for treasury.

I would suggest for the FLIP certifications, they're the best in the shortest possible amount of time.

For beginners, the finance and fundamentals combo will give you comprehensive understanding of the basics of banking and financial markets. Although this can be done through NCFM just to build a basic foundation.

The FLIP modules you take would depend upon what you're targetting post MBA :

1. Treasury module & Investment banking module - Treasury module mostly deals with trading currency markets and derivatives, this is especially helpful if you want to get into sales & trading post MBA or if you want to particularly enter treasury for sure.

Am not sure how much the investment banking module will help, although it does give you an understanding of the basics of M&A; and issue management. Add to this a financial modelling course (in excel) and I think it'll be a good value addition.


2. Corporate banking & trade finance- This is helpful post mba too and now also if you're currently looking for a job, banks usually advertise for relationship managers at the most basic level - opening accounts / basic banking products etc. You should ideally be targetting the next level which deals which is the relationship manager who deals with corporate clients and SMEs. There's very little understanding in the market about corporate banking products and trade finance products like LCs,SBLCs. The course structure covers a lot of topics ( Trade Finance & Cash Management Services ) .

Hope this helps!

Mostly in private banking / wealth management. Big banks like Deutsche Bank/ Barclays etc have a separate wealth management division, they're usually assigned to HNIs and NRIs who have accounts with them.

Apart from that, there are specialized wealth management firms like Motilaloswal -Purple Wealth CreationWealth ManagementPersonal Investment Returns| Wealth ManagementPurple WealthInvestment Returns - who are just into wealth management mostly. Some of them are financial services provider, like they'll have a brokerage business and offer wealth management services along with it.

Thanks a lot for furnishing d valuable info..

CFP is very very different from CFA . CFA is ideally focused on portfolio/investments, so you have topics like Financial statement analysis, portfolio, derivatives, equity. The whole bent of CFA is investment / fund management and asset management.

CFP is more focused on the personal investment management, so in essence CFP is more about retirement planning/ estate planning / tax planning. You'll be studying topics like how to form trusts for families to invest their wealth into. A very basic understanding of equities though, just so that you can recommend to clients what kind of equities they can invest in. A lot about laws such as the Income Tax Act, and more about financial saving schemes their pros and cons and how they fit in to what kind of financial planning your client wants.

CFA is generic financial certification which covers Quants , financial statements , corporate finance , bonds , derivatives , economics and last but not least Ethics

FRM is financial certification which focus mainly on quants and risk management aspect of finance .

To put it even more precise , CFA is generic one where you learn all the concepts in finance where as FRM is specialised one where you learn one aspect finance in deep ( Risk management)

If you think you are good at risk management , you can go for FRM straight away .

But my take would be CFA L1 followed by FRM would be ideal .. Only when you learn basics of finance , risk management becomes interesting (my personal view)

So Research a lot and spend time going through the material and decide which one is suitable for you .

In addition to these two certifications , you have one more certification - PRM which is one of the most flexible certification . curriculum and exams are good enough and this certification is substitute for FRM ..

All you need to do now is research and choose which is best for you

Good luck !

Hey!..new to this thread

(1) Is it more sensible for me to try for a market research job instead of going for an IT job??
(2) also,please suggest some way to build my profile in this direction.
(3) CFA is for finance but ppl going in HR/Marketing/ops also do level 1, is it a necessity in B schools due to peer pressure or for financial knowledge sake?

1) Yes,very much sensible to go to a job in Non IT field .

2) Marketing demands good skill set and Experience .. Develop that skill set . Just read a lot of articles and blogs in marketing field ..

As i shared earlier , the below website is like pagalguy for Marketing

MarketingProfs: Marketing Resources for Marketing Professionals

3) L1 basically gives basic introduction for most of the topics in finance . i wont say its necessity but then u will gain some knowledge in finance . If you are less keen on finance , better not to take it . You can always go through the material and gain the required knowledge

Good luck !

naga sir..
My profile is as follows:
10th:86.5

hey naga25french n saumynavit1

thanks a lot for ur quick reply, the info provided is of grt help.

Any info regarding actuaries exam.

There are a lot of differences between CFA and FRM certifications:
1) CFA focuses deeply on investment related topics L1 basically gives introduction to a lot of topics in finance without going deep in most.L2 focuses on valuation part.L3 deep dives into portfolio management.
FRM relates to risk management having 2 levels carrying 4 modules each.It slightly more quantitative then cfa.Level of difficulty can put between cfa l1 and l2

2)cfa takes generally between 2 to 4 yrs for completion while frm may be finished within6 months

3) being a wider and older certification cfa enjoys much more recognition and in foreign countries may earn you a good job as a stand alone certification.It incorporates good part of any master of finance curriculum so theoritical knowledge of a cfa is very good for investment research( note this certification does really meant of ibanking or m & a though would earn few brownie points for you)
FRM on the other hand gives a good intro to basics of risk management. Theoretically risk management is really a specialized as well as quantitative field and master in financial engineering may be a good option if your interest lies here or even in treasury management

Al these certification can a add some value to your CVs as well to you knowledge but companies would look at overall profile of the candidates .CFA institute recommends that one should earn there cfa while doing there jobs ,getting 3-4 years experience then go for there MBA.In India it is very difficult to find a job merely by passing cfa exams and you wont get charter untill you satisfy workex as well as ethical requirments so please dont take these certis as a magical wand.For that MBA from a good institute is required

Hey all,
I want to do a certification in core finance to build my resume. I want a certification which carries weight. CFA will take too much time. Is there something which can help me in getting a job sooner than later? Banks which came for campus gave relationshp manager or sales profiles.

hi could u plz tell about the certifications in marketing, in consumer behaviour, strategy and brand management..

I've heard of NCFM, FLIP, CFA and FRM.

Last two are too expensive.

From what I've read in the threads, FLIP is better than NCFM.

Yes CFA & FRM are costly as you said

With regards to Flip and NCFM ,

Flip gives you online coaching material which you cant refer after you are done with the course . NCFM is traditional one with hard copy books

Content wise , I think FLIP is better than NCFM .

Recognition wise , Both are equally good . FLIP takes an edge in many companies as recruiters are aware of FLIP training

So i would recommend a few basic modules in FLIP for starters

Go for CFA (L1,L2,L3) instead of pursuing MBA, it'd provide u with a lucrative profile in terms of grabbing a coveted job.

Are there any certifications that a fresh engineer should obtain just to strengthen his candidature for a prominent B-school?

Thank you....

no matter what happens, i will not give up....

There is no such pre requisite certification which is needed to secure a seat in b school .

Having said that , Certification can be help you in gaining some knowledge about Finance/HR/marketing specialisation based on the certification you do . This can come handy when you are questioned in interviews - both Admission and summers .

In few cases , you can discover the answer for Why MBA ?

Say you plan to do CFA ( finance certification ) and start seeing the curriculum , you can actually know whether you are actually in love with Finance world or just you want to opt for finance as fellow friend do .

So search a lot about certifications to know what exactly is career prospects after obtaining it . Research on it and choose which one suits your traits .

good luck !
