Why did Mansukh enter into the field of education and research?
We always wanted to promote research and education in the field of financial markets. When candidates come to us for interview, we find that many a times inspite of good academic record and other qualities, the candidates having industry experience outscore these candidates as they lack the basics and practical knowledge about the job. Therefore MIFM was established with the mission to enhance the glow of knowledge through quality educational programmes resulting in improvement of the intellectual & practical skills of individuals for their overall growth & growth of society. Our skill-based courses in addition to improving the intellect of the students will enable them to get highly rewarding careers in the respective fields.

What are the career prospects for people wanting a career in financial markets?
Indian financial markets are growing at an increasing pace and many domestic and global players are entering the Indian Markets as a result there is shortage of skilled manpower. Besides many of the existing players are in the mode of expansion and therefore there are bright career prospects in this industry. Although the salary levels and job profile will depend on the candidate's previous experience, training and education, people can start their career as a Dealer in Equities, Derivative, Commodities or Forex markets. With experience, they can move up to become a Trader (jobber/arbitrageur/speculator/hedger/intra-day). Any finance degree (CA/MBA/CS etc..) coupled with market knowledge can give you rewarding back-office jobs, which are in high demand today such as Surveillance/Risk Manager or a Compliance Officer. People with good marketing background can easily get a job as an Account Manager/CRM in the financial services segment with a packages comparable to any B/B+ management school graduate. Candidates with good analytical skills can start their career as Equity/Research Analyst or Technical Analyst with a few years of experience, one can explore more entrepreneurial options such as becoming a sub-broker, fund manager, Investment banker etc.. Of course, there are also many other sub-options under each category but the important point to note is that with the right skills and practical knowledge, even a "10+2" can become employable for these options in a very short span of time.

Though there are many such institutes offering similar courses, many of them established before our MIFM, the only thing which we would like to say is that the alumi is the best judge about any institute. Besides one purpose of MIFM was to enable to gain such exposure and knowledge which makes them acceptable in any organization and is evaluated right from the time one goes for the interview to the stage of final recruitment and appraisal. Here the entire difference will arise.

There are large numbers of investors / trading community who are not looking for any employment but would like to make money investing in stock and commodity markets. Does your institute offer any help to such persons?
There are a large number of investors who are looking for an organization that can
impart training in usage of technical indicators mostly used by FIIs and experienced
traders. Our skill-oriented Technical Analysis course makes a candidate a successful
SWING & DAY trader. The course explains investor psychology and the pitfalls
that one should avoid while trading. The candidates learn winning trading strategies,
are able to improve market entry/exit timings thereby maximizing profits & minimizing
losses. They also learn better money and risk management techniques. Although this
course is 100% skill-oriented, it has helped people get very good jobs as Technical
Analysts in the industry.

It is understood that the commodity market is likely to explode. Do you also offer any training in commodity market as well?
According to analysts, the commodity market is going to outgrow Stock market multifold in volume of business generated and jobs as well. The commodity market involves the Indian economy on a much greater scale than stock markets do. They involve the entire financial market and the entire farm sector that contributes close to 30% of our GDP! With such a large number of market participants, it is obvious that commodities market is going to be huge. We believe that people getting early into the commodities market would have the first-movers advantage and therefore we launched our Commodity Trading, Operations and Management course. The program explains the commodity market operations in great detail and is strongly supplemented with hands-on live trading experience on NCDEX, MCX and even International commodity market such as COMEX.
