The Institute of Finance and International Management (IFIM) announced the setting up of a Finance lab at its campus in Electronic City, Bangalore. The lab would serve as a host of practical knowledge and real world examples to complement the ‘in class’ theoretical learning experience helping the students gain a wider acceptance in the professional world.
Sponsored by Prabhudas lilladher, one of India’s premier broking houses, the lab was inaugurated by Dhiren Sheth, vice chairman and joint managing director, Pl Group. The lab is designed to replicate a real life trading room. A ticker tape which displays the near live rates from the Bombay Stock Exchange is also installed next to the lab and brings to life live markets into the corridors of an academic institution, another first in this country. The lab aims to provide the students with their first experience in live trading. The courseware designed around the lab enables the student to learn the nuances of account opening, know our customer, dematerialisation equity trading and many more.
