strong in the theoretical concepts; and second, encourage the students to apply them
in solving various financial problems. On the whole, the driving force behind the
pedagogy will be learn and apply. Students will be exposed to and be encouraged to
use software like MS-EXCEL, and SPSS for necessary processing of data using
Mathematical and Statistical Techniques learnt in the Course. A number of real life
problems and cases will be discussed to equip the students with application-skills.
Students have to devote lot of time in self-study and practice the techniques learned
