Finance for Non-Finance course

Finance for Non-Finance is a 40-hour online course for people who want to build a career in accounting and finance.

It is open to Simandhar students and alumni, and to students who did not study at Simandhar. The course is paid. Its fee is stated as inclusive of taxes and is valid for one year.

Placements and corporate relationships

The website describes a Simandhar Recruitment Portal. It lets aspirants sit for interviews with the institute's corporate tie-up employers, with training to prepare them for those interviews. The site says it has corporate relationships with the Big 4 firms, naming Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC, and with other large companies. These are the institute's own statements and have not been independently verified. Its workshop page says that 49 CMA and CPA students sent to EY for internships have been offered full-time roles.
