Student's Feedback

I would like to thank IIQF. Without your guidance I couldn't have ventured to this space. I gained a lot from the CPFE program, helped me answer at quant interviews and I'm now in credit risk model development team here.

"The course on Financial Engineering that I attended at IIQF is one of the best courses available in the Indian market. Much more rigorous than CQF and more Quant Finance orientated than a CFA. It has a wonderful faculty most of whom are former PhDs from Stanford or Professors in Indian Statistical Institute (ISI). The course offers various insights and allows multiple programming languages. It allows Open book Testing culture which allows students to focus on applying the theory to very real problems. This course overall has provided me with a solid mathematical foundation, enabled me to understand how the theory translates to practical problems and finally to get a great offer in a equity quant research team."

Thanks entire IIQF team.
Specially Nitish Ji for a wonderful support and coordination throughout the programme and all the faculty members: Rishabh, Rajat Bhatia Ji, Edelbert Ji, Sanjay Ji, Milan Ji, Ujjwal Ji, Prashanth Ji
Highly recommended for the next batch
It has been a great learning experience!
At the end of the programme, we are enriched-not only by learning but also by our experiences of knowing each other a little more closely! Fostering friendships across the hierarchy and age.....building a curious, inquisitive and vibrant community!!
Once again, thanks to all the faculty members (teachers) and fellow learner
Let's keep in touch

"I recently pursued the certificate program in financial engineering course from IIQF. Structuring of topics was focused and also in order to enable one learn from the primary to the advanced concepts. Faculty members were very good and offered to assist at all points and covered the aspects of the curriculum in a concise manner. Primer for this course is very helpful for beginners as a prerequisite. The program as a whole was very nice and useful and all the faculty members were very good. My sincere thanks to all faculty members namely Edelbert, Rupal, Vivek, Ritesh, Srijoy, Ujwal."

"I had enrolled for the CP-QFRM course at IIQF. It was six months of pure pleasure learning cutting edge, current market relevant Quant and Risk Management practises, philosophies and techniques. Brilliant team of lecturers coming straight from leading market entities in the Investment and Risk space. After completing this course I was able to successfully realise my desire to effect a career change towards Risk Analytics and Risk Modelling, after almost 13 years of experience. It has given me a successful start and also equipped me to consolidate my career as a result of hands on skills acquired. Not just CQFRM® but other courses also I would say are very apt and highly recommended!!"

"I had attended the Certificate Program in Derivative Valuations and Risk Analytics conducted by Indian Institute of Quantitative Finance. I was previously working with a Registered Investment Advisory (proprietary firm) as a Quantitative Analyst. This program is very relevant for risk professionals with a specialization in OTC valuations. The content of he course is very practical for various asset class derivative valuation models and the codes and resources of the model can be utilized to build a foundation for Derivative Valuation Modelling. Lectures are very interactive with its content being useful for python modelling from scratch and prepare for Valuation and Model Validation quant roles. Further, the faculty and Mr. Nitish Mukherjee (Course Coordinator) has been quite helpful in providing required guidance and connections to get familiar with the industry practices."

"I am thankful to IIQF for helping me achieve my goal to move to quant risk role. What attracted me to Financial Engineering course at IIQF was the content of the program.

"I had attended the program in Certificate Program in Advanced Financial Modelling using MS Excel and VBA Programming by Indian Institute of Quantitative Finance. I would highly recommend it not only for its content, which is very relevant for professionals in finance, risk and statistics, but also for the sincerity and passion with which Mr. Abhijit Biswas taught us.

I have gained immensely from the program and like to thank IIQF for the same. I wish them success in all their future programs."

Glad to inform you that I have cleared FRM® Part II examination held in May 2013, with better quartiles as compared to Part I. Indeed IIQF has been of great help in the preparation of Part II exam. Without its help it would have really been difficult to cover such a vast syllabus in such a short time, which got further complicated by delay in publication of study resources. I would, through you like to thank each and every lecturer of IIQF who have shared, not only their knowledge, but also their practical experience, thereby adding value to the study. Also thanking you all who are tirelessly working behind the scenes. The timelines demanded lectures to be structured such that it was both hectic as well as demanding for you as well as us, the participants. However I enjoyed those 3 months as it has added a lot of value in terms of knowledge through interaction with your team of lecturers who are stalwarts in their own fields.

I would like to express my appreciation for VBA programming for Finance conducted by IIQF. The content of this course is industry relevant and suitable for aspirants who want to learn programming for developing applications related to their work in finance. Even though I didn't have any prior knowledge of programming; I could understand it because of their excellent teaching pedagogy and expert faculty. The faculty was very considerate & enthusiastic in solving queries and made sure that we understand the concept before moving on to the next topic. I would highly recommend the Programme to candidates who wants to learn and enhance their understanding of VBA or build up the knowledge to apply VBA techniques in areas like Fixed Income, Derivatives, Risk Management etc.

"My experience with IIQF has been extremely satisfactory. Coaching is imparted by committed, confident and honest tutors, who are experts in their own domains. Special Thanks to "Abhijit Biswas" he was excellent very useful and enjoyable. Covered all we needed to know about the subject, it will help a lot in my job. Definitely recommend to others, it was very informative and easy to understand."

I am happy to inform you that I have received an Interview call from LSE, NYU Courant School and IE Spain. Your AMFE course course has helped me a lot and really improved my profile. I thank you for the same. You have been very helpful in the past few months.

I am Amit Shah from the FRM® L2 batch. And I am happy to announce that I have cleared the Nov 2012 FRM® Level II exam. This was my second attempt for Level II as for my 1st attempt I had done classes elsewhere and I couldn't clear. Your classes has amazingly helped me improve my caliber. The faculties were really nice and the mock test were good enough to test my knowledge and make me realize my weaknesses.

Thanking you, Best regards.

I was an IIQF student for FRM® Level 1 exam (Nov'12) and now I am planning to appear for Level 2 in November 2013. I am based in Dubai now and trust me, without IIQF I feel handicapped. I bought a video series of Bionic Turtle but the guy is just busy reading slides. No proper explanation, no examples. I really need your advice on how to prepare for Level 2. Is there any online classroom training kind of a facility or a Video series that IIQF offers?

First of all I would like to thank you for providing me a chance of being part of Derivatives Valuation and Risk Analytics program offered my IIQF .It is indeed incredibly informative and value added program for people like us, who are aspiring to make career in the field of risk analytic's and Quantitative Modelling .The personal guidance given by Abhijit Sir and other faculty members are rarely found and was extremely helpful.

I would like to thank IIQF team for the excellent training and guidance they provided me for clearing the FRM® exam. The extensive support helped me a lot in clearing the FRM® part 1 and 2 exam.

It is with great pleasure that I wish to tell you that I have cleared FRM® level - 1 exam that I appeared on 18th May,2012. This success would not have been possible without IIQF.

One good decision I took was to join IIQF for FRM® 2009 training. Certainly the guidance I received from IIQF was just superb. The faculty team was very knowledgeable and also very very helpful, if you have any doubts you can call them up or go and meet them in person or send an email they are always available. For any exam individual effort matters a lot but if you have a guidance like that from IIQF it certainly helps a lot.

The IIQF lectures were very informative and helped me strengthen my concepts for the FRM® exam. Abhijit was extremely helpful and often went out of his way to clear any doubts we had. He was highly knowledgeable about the subject and his lectures were lucid and enlightening.

IIQF is one of the best training institutes in India for clearing FRM® exam. Last year, I attended all the classes at IIQF and just followed IIQF materials & GARP Handbook for 2008 exam, and cleared the exam. Relevent experts from the corporate world take the classes, and not only follow the required topics, but also extend it with real world scenarios. I recommend IIQF for all FRM® aspirants from India.

Studying at IIQF has helped me in many ways in cracking the most challenging test in Risk Industry i.e. FRM®. This intitute has provided me with the educational building blocks needed to succeed in this rewarding industry. The small class size and the personal attention that I received at IIQF from the instructors like Mr. Abhijit & Basesh, made me feel more comfortable and confident in my preparation for FRM®. Also, the materials & the course at IIQF is very well-presented and constructed - each module building on the next. Hence, I personally recommend everyone who is preparing for FRM®, to join IIQF.

Thanks & Regards
