Press Release Summary: The career search and research is on, extensively this
season. With the increasing number of avenues, students today are not only
interested in degrees or diplomas but a solution to hone their interests and skills
and get into their dream careers.
A career as a finance professional today is vastly different than it used to be
years ago. Financial planning provides direction and meaning to a person's financial
decisions, which includes buying a home, saving for children's education or planning
for retirement. The study and analysis of today’s markets, financial products and
other related sectors of the business world are the foundation of financial
activities. Stockbroker, financial planner, and investment advisor are just a few
career options in finance that one can chose from.
Press Release Body: Today, while boundaries between various financial products are
blurring, people are increasingly looking not just at products but also at
integrated financial solutions that can offer stability of returns along with
security. Here is when they look up to their Financial Planner for the best advice,
to plan their investments for better returns.
Says industry expert, Mr. Anish Wig, CEO of International College of Financial
Planning; “We at ICFPTM provide solutions by imparting world-class knowledge and
training to our students, working executives and professionals interested in making
a career in financial services in India. ICFP’s courses are customized in accordance
with the industry requirement and on job need analysis, thus assuring a secure
future to the students”.
ICFPTM offers Post Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning (PGDFPTM) which is a 1
year course, designed to prepare students for Financial Services industry, for plug
and play and a 2 year Post Graduate Diploma in Securities Analysis and Trading(PGDSATTM) course to create a stream of trained professionals who will become the
torchbearers of the revolution in the Indian Capital Markets taking on roles in
research, equity analysis and other related fields.
Eligibility: Graduates and students in final year of graduation are eligible for the
course, but the admission to the Post Graduate Diploma will be confirmed only after the candidate completes his/her graduation.
Admission Procedure for both the PG programmes
CAT/MAT Score or ICFPTM Written Test to be conducted on 8th June 2008, and
thereafter GD and Personal Interview.
Mr. Anish Wig also adds; “The financial sector is now poised for a quantum leap and
the challenges are so vast that they will fulfill the aspirations of the innovators,
the advisors, the financial specialists as well as the researchers from all streams
of society. Those who join the finance sector in the take off stage will dominate
business and trade worldwide for years to come.”
Thus thinking beyond B-schools, treading towards F-schools seems more lucrative
option today. The B-school herd race has left large number of postgraduate students
struggling up the ladder and finding it demeaning. So let’s spot a more established
and super specialized career option – Financial Planning.
