STUDENTS SPEAKS
I’m an investment banker who studied
to be an engineer!
Can you believe it? I graduated in civil engineering and after
four taxing years of college, began looking for a job. The
thing is – a small part of my always knew I was passionate
about finance and wanted a career in it, but the transition
was daunting.
I was looking for an avenue to an investment banking
job when a friend recommended Imarticus.
I did not face any major roadblocks and could keep
up because of the exceptional faculty and the
detailed curriculum.
A highlight was the placement services – through
mock interviews and resume building, the trainers
helped me hone my skills. Who would have
imagined that I’d land a job at SS&C Globe Op even
before completing the course? My job involves
much of what I learned at Imarticus, and I couldn’t
be happier.

CAREER TRANSITIONS

Anandh G

With prior Retail Banking experience, I decided to join the CIBOP course at
Imarticus Learning in order to boost my Investment Banking knowledge. I
personally recommend Imarticus to anyone that wants to pursue a career
in IB. Their wonderful faculty members are so good that they can even
explain complex topics on financial instruments and the functions of
Investment Banking to a person with no background in Commerce. They
also closely assist students in getting jobs with leading Indian IBs by
improving their soft skills and through resume preparation workshops.

Dhruv Parekh

I had an amazing educational experience at Imarticus Learning. When I

initially joined their CIBOP program, I was not very familiar with the
concepts and processes of Investment Banking, but now I fully understand
a lot about the subject. The program’s curriculum is up to date and the
trainers are wonderfully helpful. I recently got placed at BNP Paribas,
where I discovered that everything I studied at Imarticus has enabled me
to perform my job responsibilities well.
