"Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today. That is revolution!"

BIFM has trained over 4000 students in the last 1.5 years and that number will grow by 3000 more by this year-end. The dormant demand for financial education ranging from financial literacy to teaching class 11 and 12 students all about financial markets is the reason why BIFM today is known as a leader in financial education. Our tie-up with CBSE schools already demonstrates our zeal to reach-out to schools with our programs ranging from personal finance to professional skills and knowledge developments programs about financial markets.

The CBSE in association with BIFM has introduced a new Financial Markets Management (FMM) programme for school students. BIFM has conceptualized, planned and developed the syllabus and practical training for CBSE teachers for FMM. The NSE and CBSE joint certification would provide necessary credibility to school students for employment at par with other professionals passing the NSE online examination. This professional competency-based education will make a paradigm shift to the awareness of the financial market. Interestingly, this course has a 40% practical component that includes stock market trading provided by BIFM. The aim is to meet the expectations of the industry and provide entrepreneurial skills at an early age ensuring the nurturing of a new generation of enthusiastic experts for the financial market. The use of mock trading software simulating live trading and visits to broking firms and stock exchanges give a touch of reality to theoretical concepts.

Reasons like the rising population of students wanting education to have a vocational angle, the need of entrepreneurial skills for the economy, and the demand of trained personnel in the financial world has sharpened the desire among the young Indians to seek career opportunities as early as possible. In this scenario, it becomes very significant that a student should get the right information from experts at the right time.

Today good and meaningful education that has adequate practical training is seen as a passport to a great job which opens gates of myriad opportunities and a fulfilling career.
