  • The programme is very well designed in terms of content & time. The knowledge being passed has surpassed my expectations. The quality of teachers is amazing. - Smriti Sharma (Finance, 2004-2005)

  • The quality of the programme is excellent. Better than my expectations, yet not as tough as I had anticipated. - Nemesisa (Finance 2004-2005)

  • The finance course did provide an interesting insight into application of mathematics to equity analysis - the internships were particularly interesting. - Jacob P Jacob (Finance 2002-2003)

  • The programme was assignment and practical oriented and exceeded the qualitative standards in the six-month period including study material. I made us of all aspects of the programme and have gained and improved my knowledge in the financial field. The practical inputs enhanced my understanding of the topics taught in the class and hence are beneficial. - Rachit Gehani (Finance 2003-2004)

  • The course had definitely helped in increasing my knowledge regarding various aspects of Finance and Probability. Practical inputs provided during the course of the programme have been interesting and insightful. - Raghupati Aggarwal (Finance 2004-2005)

  • I feel that the programme is highly educating, knowledgeable and gives a wider scope of the topic 'FINANCE'. The quality is perfect, to the point and interesting. Up till now, whatever I have learnt is above my expectations (especially from excel practical). Excel practical has given me an insight as to how to work actually in the real world on computers. The quality of teaching is amazing. I feel our teachers have helped us by increasing our thinking capacity. - Vritika Jain (Finance 2004-2005)

  • The practical inputs were essential and extremely well run! The course content was extremely relevant to my subject. The quality of the programme was high. I gained a lot of knowledge. - Suranjan Banerjee (Finance 2005-2006)

  • The various activities that I took part in the Foundation helped me understand the role of Mathematics in every sphere. I really admire the dedication of the teachers involved with MSF. I was not clear of what I wanted to do in life, but the Finance course and the ICICI internship did make it clear for me. - Neha Bhargava (Finance 2006-2007)

  • The quality of teaching and reference material were amazing. Within limited time, a lot of syllabus was covered without hampering its quality. - xx (Finance 2006-2007)

  • It is compact and apt for a short term course. I think it was a really educative experience and gave me a perfect flavour of what finance really is. - Nimarata Chugh (Finance 2006-2007)

  • I have gained significant knowledge of finance and statistics which has perhaps given me an upper edge over my contemporaries. - xx (Finance 2006-2007)

  • The Programme in Mathematical Finance is comprehensive, structured and well delivered. Not only does it enhance our knowledge concerning the technicalities associated with finance, but also builds our analytical skills. The concepts that we learn can directly be applied in today’s financial world. - Shiv Thukral (Finance 2006 – 07)

  • The Programme in Mathematical Finance…was very well taught and even though I come from a science background, I never had difficulties in understanding the finance concepts. I feel the kind of questions we did in finance were very tricky and needed good understanding of the concepts. This, in turn, helped us a lot and motivated us to work harder. In all, I gained a lot during these 6 months. - Ipsita Arora (Finance 2006 – 07)

  • The course content was interesting, well designed and probably covered all the relevant topics in the field of Finance. The notes provided by the faculty were concise and lab work ensured that we learnt how to design macros and apply theoretical models using data. The faculty was exceptional especially Dr. Habib and Dr. Aggarwal who explained concepts in a succinct manner giving ample emphasis to the intuitive idea behind any theory which further enabled me to get a good grasp on the subject. I used several models and concepts that I learnt in the course during my internship at the Global Investment Division of HSBC, particularly the CAPM and discounted cash flow models. The course also helped me to participate in the Inter-College Paper Presentation Competition on 'Application of Mathematics and Statistics in Finance', 2007 held at Hindu College where I won the first prize. I am also thankful to Dr. Habib who gave me guidance for my presentation and internship. Overall the course was excellently conducted. - Anupriya (Finance 2006 – 07)

  • When I got to know about this course, and then got through the interview, I faced a classic trade off. Doing this course would mean slightly less attention to my graduation and mba preparation. But again, doing the course would mean a valuable add on to my CV and exposure to the real corporate world through the internship… Thinking about the course after the internship, I would say the teachers have done a really good job in the extremely limited time period…Looking back , overall the course was very good and the teachers (each one of them) were fantastic. - Abhishek Sahay (Finance 2006 – 07)
