FROM DIRECTOR
Dear Student

The National Institute of Financial Management, established as a premier centre for imparting
training and for education in the field of financial management, is today on a steady path of
growth and development. Having established itself as one of the premier Financial Institutes in
the country, it is seeking to scale new heights in this domain.

A critical facet of this endeavour is keeping pace with change. The past few years have
witnessed phenomenal change in global as well as domestic financial markets. As new
structures emerge and regulatory mechanisms evolve, those aspiring to work in this area need
to be well-positioned to meet the industry’s wide-ranging needs in the coming decades. We,
at NIFM, are constantly striving to update our pedagogy to keep pace with the change and to
ensure that students leaving our portals are fully equipped.

The Institute, being the only one of its kind in the field of Financial Management, is also the
leading institute to impart knowledge and training to senior level Government officials across the
country in all the newly developing areas and initiatives, such as the Government e-Marketplace,
the newly introduced GST, Advanced Public Procurement and so on. The presence of senior
officer-trainees on campus also provides a parallel platform for interaction and multidirectional
expansion of outlook for young minds.

The Institute has its own campus on 42 acres of delightful greenery, adjacent to the famous
Badhkal Lake at Faridabad on the outskirts of the National capital. This houses the main institute
building, student accommodation, mess and a sports complex, with all modern day facilities.
The campus also houses faculty and staff quarters. Lush green lawns and open spaces covering
over eighty percent of the campus provide an additionally enriched atmosphere for learning and
imbibing the ever changing financial evolution with life-turning experiences which will enable the
students to reach new heights in their professional life.

We strive to ensure that each of our students can and does achieve high academic levels.
Targets are methodically set and worked towards by encouraging students to raise the bar, set
higher expectations for themselves and then by closely mentoring and monitoring the progress
at each stage. The students also benefit from industry exposure through guest lectures by
luminaries of the Industry and established professionals from the financial world.

The parents/guardians of prospective students may rest assured that your ward would spend
very enriching and fruitful time with us.

I wish the students a bright future ahead, filled with joy and success.
