Garbage

Garbage, dont waste your money please. Had they spent an iota of the money they spent on ads on their actual courses, it would have been at least ok.

Dear Arpan, we take all feedback very seriously and we strive to provide the best learning experience. However, we could not find any record of your enrollment in our courses or any enquiry for any of our courses. We have tried reaching you through this platform but we have not got any reply. Please reach out to us so we can understand your concerns better. Authentic feedback from real students helps us improve, and we encourage genuine reviews. However your lack of communication indicates that your feedback is not genuine and has been posted with a malicious intent which not only harms out reputation but also harms the make in India initiative of the Government.

What is IIQF to me?

As far as financial engineering is concerned IIQF is debatably the only Institute in India capable of ably equipping learners the right skillsets to thrive and/or even break into Quant finance, mainly for three reasons, according to my humble observation:
(A) Sufficiently mathematically rigorous syllabus coupled with the most concrete and practical of course exercises using SOTA quant risk methods mainly in python programming language (with PoC excel models to always fall back on)
(B) Taught by a team of faculty members who not only are already at the pinnacle of academia but also well-seasoned industry practitioners themselves and very passionate about quant finance education in general.
(C) Last and most important concern for many i.e. job placements. Although this is the only part I cannot guarantee a 100℅ on, but if it makes you feel any better, I myself broke into the industry with a quant finance profile (Market risk model validation in Big 4), that too as a fresher, through IIQF job placement opportunities.

One can get (A) or (B) or (C) seperately and add them all up from anywhere else including the top elite tech/business schools (Yes! not even kidding!) but they wouldn't get ABC.
The whole (ABC) is better than the sum of the individual parts (A+B+C)

PS: I am forever indebted to this Institute, to the finest of teachers who are as approachable and yet amazing human beings, and last but not the least to Nitish, the person who deserves much more credit than this short review can possibly give. He is someone who actually, I mean actually gets and understands what concerns/requirements do quant finance aspirants have and would so much as go out of his way to address and fulfill each and every need.

Rest assured IIQF is not doing it for the money, that I'm 100% confident of saying. What sets apart IIQF perhaps from the rest is, they are driven by a strong passion (including passion of teaching) and zeal to bridge the quant finance education gap, not just in India but across the board.

Thank you once again IIQF!

Kindest regards,
Siam

IIQF knows the real stuff, and are very practical.

I wanted to learn Algo-Trading, So I inquired and found IIQF's approach very satisfactory among others. They guided me after listening and understanding my needs, rather than just rushing to sell their course like others.

I have started learning Python with IIQF, as coding knowledge is must before diving into Algos. This people really know the stuff and are very practical.

I was looking for courses on financial engineering and algo trading and found IIQF. On going through the same, I would it quite unique and different from what others were offering. Had enrolled myself for the PGPAT course and it really helped me in my bank treasury functions to devise new and innovative ways to trade this complex world of currencies. Thanks to IIQF.

Great Going IIQF

I got to know about this institution through a Google search on financial engineering. They have many courses which can help a working professional to reach new heights. I have enrolled one of them. After attending few classes I have made my mind to enroll for few more courses available with them. They make things so simple to understand. Great going IIQF.
