The BFIA Degree Program

 

The BFIA program is novel in nature. It is a partly self-financed three-year professional degree program, which has been designed keeping in mind the requirements of the Indian Financial Markets. Besides 30 compulsory papers spread over three years, the students are required to undergo six to eight weeks summer training at the end of the second and fourth semester in the companies approved by the placement cell.
