POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MANAGEMENT-FINANCIAL ENGINEERING (PGDM - FE)
The financial sector in India has seen substantial changes over the past decade including -
Deregulated Interest rates
Capital account convertibility
Access to international Capital markets
Transparency & efficiency
Regulators focusing on risks and management of risks rather than on procedures.
The practice of finance has therefore evolved rapidly as a result of the above changes. Finance today involves evaluating and using instruments, markets and methodologies very different from those prevailing just a few years earlier. Today’s practitioner should also be equipped to analyse and evaluate developments that are certain to occur in the years to come. In addition, the peculiarities of the Indian and other emerging markets mean that tools and techniques need to be adapted or developed before they can be used correctly.
Therefore, there is an emerging need for Finance Professionals equipped to carry out Financial modeling, use analytics and evaluate options.
The primary goal of the Program is to provide training in practical financial modeling as well as insights into the uses (and abuses) of financial models in real life situations.
