Mumbai University plans to introduce a three-year B.Com degree course in Financial Markets. The proposal, if approved, will be applicable from the current academic session. The course will emphasise practical interaction. Students will interact with stockbrokers, mutual-fund agencies and carry out studies in the financial industry.
Vijay Khole, Vice-Chancellor, Mumbai University, says, "The commerce faculty is very vibrant in this industry - the economy is booming and several sectors in commercial transactions are increasing and emerging - we need to provide trained professionals/manpower because the industry demands it.
