FAQs
This course is a guided, cohort based program, that allows you to learn and practice the key aspects of Financial Analysis and Valuation. Continuous handholding from the faculty will help you grasp the concepts, and peer learning via interactions and group projects will ensure that everyone learns from the batch as well. The idea of this program is to enable the participant to be able to create a valuation model and report just like a seasoned analyst would do in their role. This output in the form of a project will also serve as proof of concept when you apply for any such roles in the industry.
While the subjects are taught at most campuses, the program addresses the fact that subjects in the curriculum may not prepare you for the industry, and even if that happens, usually it is faculty specific, and not for the entire domain. This program ensures that even if some of the topics have not been offered in your curriculum, all areas needed for these profiles are addressed in the program. The program complements your learning at campus via live projects and individual guidance.
This is indeed a high intensity program. However, the self paced nature allows us to customize some of the modules for your convenience. If you have specific engagements in college / your work, the program speed can be altered for those periods. However, this is still a rigorous program, meant for focused participants who intend to build a career in Equity Research / Financial Analysis / Investment Banking. These are competitive areas, and unless we are rigorous, the learning is not possible. So we do expect that participants will be able to put in the requisite effort and hard work. An overall effort of 100 hours over 10-12 weeks is expected, but rest assured, we will help you manage that time, and this will be time well spent!
Completely. Almost everything you will work on will be on a live company data, and in the process you will evaluate various companies across sectors. 4 Valuation Models will be built on different companies from the Indian markets. The practice will ensure that by the time the course ends, you are adept at building valuation models, and doing detailed financial analysis of companies, just like industry analysts would do.
While CFA is one of the best programs available in the global financial domain, it lacks some specific areas such as practical application of the concepts from markets perspective. There are no live projects, and no guidance available. The FinShiksha Analyst Program prepares you for this practical understanding via live projects and interactions with industry experts through live webinars, and gives you an edge over your peers when it comes to preparing for the interviews in these domains.
Live sessions will be conducted on weekends.
The recordings of the Live session will be provided to you after the session.
