Competition within the investment banking industry has risen significantly, and as such, freshers often find it challenging to gain a foothold in the industry. We spoke to Anmol, a student of the investment banking training course to get his take on the course and understand how this course could help freshers become investment bankers.
Hey, my name is Anmol Indurkhya, and I am a B. Com graduate and an aspiring investment banker.
Finance has been a part of my life ever since I could read numbers. It has always fascinated me because I enjoy working with the share market, derivatives, fund accounting, equity derivatives and the like. After graduating, I began looking for an avenue into the investment banking industry and came across Imarticus Learning.
Based on your experience, what’s your opinion of the Investment Banking course?
The investment banking operations program at Imarticus is a short-term course but has long-term prospects. The course transforms freshers into job-ready investment banking professionals through the comprehensive curriculum, hands-on learning, and mentorship. Moreover, the course offers placements at leading banks, and this is one of the most essential aspects of the program according to me.
How has your personality changed since you joined Imarticus?
Before I joined Imarticus Learning, I was an introvert and couldn’t interact confidently with my peers and colleagues. This drawback was a challenge to overcome, however, during the course, the many presentations I gave, and the interactive sessions helped me open up. My communication skills have also improved because of soft skills training and mock interviews. Overall, my experience has been a great one.
Would you recommend the Investment banking course at Imarticus Learning?
Well, I already have recommended the course to two of my friends who want to enter investment banking! So yes, I definitely would recommend the course and would give 5-star to Imarticus Learning review
What, according to you, is the best part of the course?
First – I have been placed at BNP Paribas through Imarticus Learning. So yes, the placement services are one of the best things about the course.
Second – the trainers at Imarticus are exceptional, knowledgeable, and incorporate practical learning to a great extent. Kalpesh Sir and Lourdes Ma’am deserve special mention because they have been approachable and immensely supportive throughout the course.

How to Get a Data Science Job After A Career Gap?
Deepti recounts her journey from a career gap to be a stay-at-home mom to a landing a data science job after Imarticus’ data science course.
It’s always challenging – getting back into the job market after an extended break. A business venture that went bust, prolonged illness, family responsibilities, the possible reasons are many. In my case, I wanted to take a career break for a couple of years to focus on raising my child who is now 9 years old.
My name is Deepti, and I am a mathematics graduate with 6 years of experience in the IT industry, specifically Oracle applications and data warehousing. After my break, I experienced first-hand the challenges involved in restarting my IT career. The jobs I wanted were out of reach; the available jobs didn’t pay enough, and the jobs that paid decently pronounced me as overqualified.
Imarticus’ data science course fit my needs perfectly!
In the midst of all this, I came across data science and realized that this industry is growing and, considering my background in IT and mathematics, would be the perfect fit for me. I began researching institutes with the right curriculum, faculty, infrastructure, and other pre-requisites you’d generally look for. I zeroed in on Imarticus’ data science course because it was the perfect blend of theoretical learning and hands-on industry-relevant practical experience.
One worry at the back of my mind was ‘how do I juggle between a full-time data science course and taking care of my 9-year old son?’ A quick call with Swapnil, the head of Imarticus’ Thane center, put my mind to rest. I spoke to him about my concern, and without a second thought, he offered to let my son accompany me to class. With my son in the room beside me, I was able to concentrate entirely on my lectures and complete the course successfully.
The course itself is outstanding and warrants a 5-star rating.
What I liked most about the course was a learning management portal – Learntron – that I was given 24/7 access to. I remember going back home at the end of a day of classes to put in some time working on the day’s assignments. I could always log on to the online platform, re-watch the lectures & videos, refer to the notes and clear any doubts & queries that arose. The learner was a great aid to my entire learning journey.
I also want to make special mention of the faculty, Ms. Ritu Singh and Ms. Prachi Samant, who are amazing trainers. Being data science professionals themselves, they are incredibly proficient in every aspect of the industry and were able to help me relate the projects and case studies I worked on to real-world data science business problems.
The final step was crucial: building my resume and preparing for interviews.
Because of my career break, my resume was outdated and needed a complete overhaul. Imarticus’ career services team helped me hone my resume to reflect my new skills and turn it into a job-magnet. They also helped me run through the most probable data science interview questions through mock interviews.
The professional transformation I’ve undergone is a testament to Imarticus’ data science program, and I am thrilled that I took up the course.
