MIT-WPU School of Economics and Commerce launches B.Com Financial Analysis Program
The MIT World Peace University (MIT-WPU) has launched its new Financial Analysis program, with the CFA Institute delegation in attendance. The ceremony highlighted collaborative plans to integrate financial curriculum into the university's academic programs. This aims to equip students with the skills required for successful careers in the global finance sector.
Under the newly launched Financial Analysis program, MIT-WPU will offer on-campus training for the CFA Level I and II examinations, integrating them directly into the curriculum. In the first year, students will also have the opportunity to pursue the Investment Foundations Certificate from CFA Institute. This certificate will provide them with an understanding of the investment industry, including its structure, core concepts, and ethical considerations.
Dr. R. M. Chitnis, Vice Chancellor, MIT-WPU, said, 'CA, CS, and CMA are professional courses in India, focused on auditing, taxation, and legal compliance, authorised under Acts of Parliament. In contrast, the CFA is a global qualification that supports companies in finance and investment banking, representing a distinct domain. Students who pursue these professional degrees alongside the CFA qualification will gain a significant competitive advantage in the fast-evolving world of finance.'
Dr. Anjali Sane, Dean of the School of Economics and Commerce at MIT-WPU, said, ' With the launch of the Financial Analysis program, we had the opportunity to engage in insightful discussions on emerging trends in the investment industry. Our focus has been on building a curriculum that meets global industry standards and empowers students with the skills needed to thrive in the world of finance.'
