SEBI is expanding its education initiative NISM (National Institute of Securities Markets). Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the new campus of NISM at Patalganga near Mumbai on December 24th 2016.
Presently NISM operates from its campus at Vashi, Mumbai, but the existing infrastructure is not adequate to support the growing requirements of the institute.
The new NISM campus would be spread over 70 acres at Patalganga. The campus can accommodate more than 5000 students. SEBI has invested Rs. 400 crore in the institute.
The main aim for establishing a new campus is to widen the NISM activities and cater the demand of qualified securities market professionals.
The new campus is ready and would be inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 24th Dec’2016.
The institute would cater the demand of the qualified securities market professionals, which is one of the major challenges faced by the securities market in India today.
The demand of qualified securities market professionals is quite high. Market needs professionals who are well informed, competent and have knowledge of securities market.
The institute operates under Six Schools of excellence –
- School for Investor Education & Financial Literacy
- School for certification of Intermediaries
- School for Security Information & Research
- School for Regulatory Studies & Supervision
- School for Corporate Governance
- School for Securities Education
NISM also conducts mandatory certification examinations.
