* Certification test for any course under competition is a combination of objective and descriptive questions, and it is untimed, and open book (open book because in real life you will have resources at your disposal to understand and answer anything and if it
is open book then our understanding is that cheating motive should go away and you will understand and then attempt the test). The overall time taken to finish this should be somewhere between 1.5-2 hours. You can choose to give the test anytime in the
slot given to you and also attempt it in different sittings. If slot is 25-28 August then that means you can try and attempt few questions on 25th Aug, again on 26th Aug and so on. Choice is completely yours. You can take exam from anywhere (from home, college,
hostel anywhere). We don’t charge anything for re-exam. However, during the championship you are allowed to take exam only once. After championship, which is post September you are free to appear for re-exam in any slot.

FinShiksha Learning Championship – FAQs 16
1. What benefits do we get when we enroll for this competition

One of the key benefits is the application of what you learn in the courses in real life situations. If you would like to build a career in
finance, and want a deep practical understanding of the subject, but are not sure where to start, this is a good starting point. In
addition to the Certification process, and the benefits of learning the course, you also get help in a guided live project, and a mock
interview and career counselling session with FinShiksha. Of course there are cash prizes too!
2. Are FinShiksha courses better than other courses?

Well, our answer would be biased 🙂 However, what we can say is that there are two definite salient features in our courses. Firstly,
the application of the learning to a real life scenario using a guided live project. Secondly, one of the key differentiating factors at
FinShiksha is that we assume that participants come from differing backgrounds and have different expectations from courses. So
while the standard content remains the same, we try and give some exercises/additional videos to participants that help them with
weaker areas. So there is a degree of hand-holding even in a self paced online program. And most importantly, the best part about
our programs is the final online test. Its open book, and untimed. You can use all resources available to you. By doing this, we are
making this as close to real life as possible. Do not know a concept – use a book, use internet, ask a friend, but in doing all this,
ensure that you learn a new concept, even as you are attempting the final test. In all, we can vouch for a unique learning experience!
3. Can I enroll for more than one course?

Yes, of course. There is no limit to learning. However, should you really do well in both those, and get Certified in both those, you still
get a chance to win a prize in both courses. More of your learning increases, so your chances should improve for sure.

FinShiksha Learning Championship – FAQs 17
4. Can I take part in the competition without enrolling for a course?

Well, we are sorry but that cannot happen. Ideally, we are looking at someone who want to learn the analysis part and apply it in the
project. The Learning is the primary reason, and the competition itself is a by-product of the learning. Hence it is primarily for those
who would want to learn and apply. If you already know the stuff, no real reason for you to prove it.
5. Is this a team event or individual event?

This is an individual event. But students from same college do collaborate while analyzing a company during live project. This enhances
learning as one students is exposed to multiple sector and the team can use the same analysis in college projects or other outside
competitions as well. Just to give you a perspective, last year students who pursued some of our courses and completed the Live
project won competitions like HOLT Valuation Challenge, HSBC Investment Banking Challenge, Finalist in MOSL QGLP Challenge, CFA
Research Challenge.
6. Can you participate in competition via other listed courses?

No. Because the companies which will recruit from us will require the skillset of Analysis and Modelling. Hence curated courses are part
of Championship. That doesn’t stop you from learning other topics. You could choose any topic, pursue it and we will provide the same
support as we will provide to championship participants.
7. Will this course be good in terms of exposure?

Again, we are going to have a biased answer. Just to cut short here, you could go through some of our blogs and YouTube channel
videos. If you think the above two things did add any value then course will definitely add value.
