FinAGG School
For colleges

A programme your peers cannot copy, because they cannot convene this room.

A school of financial services built inside your existing BBA and MBA — 500 hours of industry-delivered training in lending, more than half of it practical, with a job offer from FinAGG for students who complete it. Launch campus: SRMS CET, Bareilly, from October 2026. One cohort of 40–50 students to begin.

01 · What it is not

Not a certificate course. Not a bolt-on. Not a placement arrangement.

It is a restructuring of the final phase of the degree, taught jointly by college faculty and practising lenders, under UGC apprenticeship-embedded degree guidelines. Students are admitted to your institution, taught partly by your faculty, examined by your machinery — and hired by the industry that wrote the syllabus.

02 · What the college gets
  • A flagship BFSI degree with an industry-written syllabus and named practitioner faculty, at no curriculum-development cost
  • Placement outcomes underwritten by job offers issued before the first student enrols
  • An admissions proposition no regional peer can match: 500 hours of industry training inside the final year, no programme fee, a scholarship route, and a job offer before graduation
  • NEP and apprenticeship-embedded alignment, with industry-linkage and employability metrics that support accreditation and ranking
  • Permanent faculty development — management faculty co-teach with practising credit heads and retain the capability after the pilot
  • A live-case pipeline for case development centres, and real data for financial modelling labs
  • An executive-education channel: short programmes for working BFSI staff, on the same faculty, on campus
  • Co-branding as founding academic partner, and first-mover position in a category no Indian college currently occupies
03 · What the college brings
  • Degree-granting standing and the apprenticeship-embedded filing — you lead it; we fund and staff the paperwork
  • 40–50 ring-fenced seats, with admissions criteria agreed jointly. Students are admitted to you, not to us
  • Campus, core academic faculty, student services and examination machinery
  • A named programme director with authority over the timetable, who sits on the Curriculum Council
  • Academic freedom for the council to set the assessment bar on the practice half
  • Calendar alignment, so work blocks are scheduled into the timetable rather than squeezed around it
  • Selection logistics — circulating student instructions, sharing the final-year list, a computer lab with reliable internet for the test days, and rooms for the discussion panels
  • One nominated faculty coordinator as single point of contact for the selection process
  • Custody of the student Fixed Deposit receipts, lien-marked in the college's favour
  • Two or three management faculty seconded into the modules, so the capability stays after the pilot
Not on the list: money.

The college is not asked to fund the practitioner faculty, the sandbox systems, the case corpus, the scholarships or the confirmed offers. No capital, no equity.

04 · How it pays for itself

Employers pay on outcome. The college does not fund it.

Per-hire placement fee

Paid by the employer per graduate hired, on joining — priced below a recruitment fee plus their own ramp cost. The core revenue line.

No programme fee to the student

Students pay their standard degree fee to the college and nothing more. There is no programme surcharge.

Tuition

Standard degree fee, to the college. No programme surcharge to the student.

Scholarship pool

FinAGG academic scholarships for EWS students who scored above 80% aggregate last academic year, with the amount linked to marks — so no capable student in the catchment is priced out.

Module sponsorship

Technology suppliers and investors sponsor named modules, the sandbox, and the case-writing budget.

Executive education

Short programmes for working BFSI staff on the same faculty — a shared margin line from year two, run on your campus.

Pilot funding for cohort one is sought as grant or CSR — not from the college, and not as equity in anything.

05 · Governance

Worth settling in the term sheet, not later.

Exclusivity, narrower than it sounds

Reciprocal, region-scoped, category-limited to embedded apprenticeship degrees, and time-boxed. Placement exclusivity is not sought — other recruiters retain full access to the cohort.

A Section 8 vehicle holds the standard

As further employers join, the standard sits in a not-for-profit vehicle, industry-governed, with no single member — including FinAGG — able to bend the syllabus to its own hiring.

06 · What could go wrong

The four risks we would raise if we were sitting on your side of the table.

"What if FinAGG cannot absorb the cohort?"

The cohort is sized to our actual hiring plan, not to your seat count; the confirmed offer is contractual, not a statement of intent; and we are recruiting a second and third member employer specifically so this does not rest on one balance sheet.

"What if approvals take longer than planned?"

Then the pilot runs a year later. We would rather move the date than launch a cohort whose degree standing is uncertain. We fund and staff the filing work either way.

"What if the practice half disrupts our academics?"

It is scheduled into your calendar by your programme director, and the academic core stays with your faculty. If a block cannot be accommodated, the block moves — not the exams.

"What if the students are not good enough?"

There is a designed three-step selection — a self-introduction video, an 80-minute aptitude, GK and psychometric test in your lab, and a panel discussion with a live sales pitch. It deliberately weights aptitude, communication and attitude over board percentage, because that screens for coaching access rather than aptitude.

07 · The ask

Ninety minutes, and a term sheet for one pilot cohort.

Six things we would want to understand in that session:

  1. Which approvals govern the BBA and MBA respectively, and what an apprenticeship-embedded structure requires from each
  2. Whether the final-year structure has room for the practice component alongside your calendar
  3. Current management intake and likely take-up for a lending-specific track
  4. Where your management graduates place today, so the offer is benchmarked honestly
  5. Lab and room availability for the selection days, and who invigilates
  6. Who would serve as named programme director and selection coordinator
