Jagran Institute of Management, Kanpur signs LoU with NISM to Integrate SEBI-Certified Financial Courses into Curriculum.

JIM and NISM aim to establish a dynamic platform for academic cooperation, knowledge exchange and skill enhancement. The partnership opens avenues for faculty development, student training programs, curriculum enrichment and research initiatives across AICTE and UGC-approved institutions in India.

With this partnership in action, advanced educational resources and industry-aligned initiatives will be promoted while capacity building for students and faculty through specialized training programs will also be organized for the evolving demands of the global market.

NISM is an institution established by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) with the objective of capacity building in the securities market. The securities market is a growing industry that offers ample opportunities for both employment and self-employment. Students aspiring to build careers in the financial markets would benefit greatly from studying securities market-related subjects. Hence, the primary objective of this LoU is to train students in these subjects and help them earn NISM certifications, thereby enhancing their knowledge and employability.

Under this LoU, NISM will offer its certification and e-learning programs as regular Certification Examinations and Skill-Oriented Courses for students. This collaboration will also enable JIM faculty to teach NISM courses, with NISM providing market related inputs and necessary training support.

NISM will also develop a dedicated portal or collaborate with a business and employment-focused social media platform to connect recruiters with JIM, thereby offering placement support to students who successfully complete NISM certifications. In addition, NISM will periodically conduct online Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) and facilitate internship opportunities for students.

This collaboration marks a significant step towards integrating market-relevant knowledge into management education and strengthening industry-academia linkages. For More details: National Institute of Securities Markets | NISM
