Students specializing in Finance in the PGPM class of ‘14 have exhibited
excellence in a variety of industries and functions ranging from Trade Finance,
Management and Technology Consulting, Investment Banking, Investment
Management, Legal Services, Credit Risk and Equity Research.
The one year program at SPJIMR will enable groups to develop a broader
perspective, as they go through general management modules, interact with
leaders from the business and financial world, work on assignment and
projects in the corporate and social sector with fellow students from diverse
backgrounds and, at the same time, equip themselves with advanced courses
in finance required by modern-day finance standards and practices.
The international immersion, aimed at providing a global perspective, will take
the students to one of the most coveted Ivy League institutions in the United
States, Cornell University, where they will learn the nuances of Global Markets
& Valuation, Finance Analytics and Consulting.
The 15-months intensive and rigorous program will ensure that the students
are ready to hit the ground running from the very first day, in a challenging and
ever-evolving business environment.
Our individual profiles on the subsequent pages will illustrate our past
experiences, distinctive achievements and career interests.
