Learning the application of concepts

FinShikshaWhat the last year students say

Rakshit Vora, NMIMS Mumbai

FSA according to me was just looking at trends in ratios and some figures in the financial statements.But after the course, I realised that it is much more than that. FSA just doesn't mean numbers, itmeans understanding the complete business, the meaning behind each number, going through thenotes of each figure to deep dive into the. It goes upto even knowing the kind of corporategovernance the company has.The course is better because you open up the recent reports in the videos and explain the things fromthere directly. Linking things to reality gives us a better understanding of things

Ankit Goel, XLRI Jamshedpur

The faculty linked the theoretical concepts with the real world applications and gave a more realisticflavour of things that we study in classroom. Though you can find everything on internet but it isdifficult to find quality content at one place. Finshiksha does that and saves time and effort. Thefaculty explains difficult concepts in a very lucid manner.

Abhishek Tyagi, XIMB

Finshiksha helped me to apply the concepts in a better way. The college sessions help us understandthe theoretical concepts but that understanding is improved if we apply them in the market. Myinterviews with HSBC and Motilal was mainly on the application part. Their questions were "why" andnot "what". FSA course with Finshiksha helped me perform better in these interviews.

Sameera Boyinapalli, IIM Shillong

Financial statement analysis of companies operational currently and not fictitiousones of textbooks etc, macroeconomic analysis relating to everyday news andcurrent happenings etc are all real world application based. The course stronglybacks explanation of concepts with decoding the companies, their financials andevents, of today; thereby making the course more easily applicable. The coachesbeing present all the time to give personal guidance and support is highlycommendable.

Ruchit Shah, NMIMS Bangalore

The highlight of the course was Infosys model being prepared right after explainingthe concepts. I was able to make the same model simultaneously and keep it as thebase model for all my future valuation excercises. The course and the FinShikshaLearning Championship helped me get placement in the Investment Bankingdomain. Furthermore, the concepts and real life examples help even today in myjob. Finance was never this simple before FinShiksha. The real life examples that areshared in the course and the constant help from FinShiksha to rectify doubts relatedto the course makes a huge difference as either of the above is often missed inother internet courses and college.

Aayush Jain, Christ University, Bangalore

The use of examples in videos is phenomenal. It makes you actually imagine the whole scenario andconnect the dots. Once, you are able to connect dots, one can make out of financial events, news etc.Firstly, self paced videos and secondly, methodology of explanation using exceptional examples,enables you to connect the concepts with day-to-day scenarios. Thereby, widening your thoughtprocess.

Krishnakali Vaishnav, SIIB

The videos introducing the concepts have lucid explanations and take examples from annual reportsof different companies lending a realistic as well as practical touch to the understanding the concept

(It is) Difficult to understand the various nuances of analysis through reading. Needs to be explainedin a holistic well connected manner which Finshiksha does through its perlucid videos.

Kunal Jain, Goa Institute of Management

It has been very helpful. I felt more confident and gained clarity on the subject. It was indeedinsightful. Made me more confident in facing interviews and during my job. I pretty much knew thebasics beforehand.
