Test. Select. Train. Certify. Hire.
The FinAGG Finance School as a single journey — from a self-introduction video to a job offer, with 500 hours of industry-delivered training in between. More than half of it is practical: mock pitches, live-style simulations and hands-on credit, PD, disbursement and collections mocks on real worked examples.
Six stages. One candidate.
In any language: yourself and your family, your plans, your role model, why finance. Released 21 Sep, due 22 Sep, 11 PM.
23–25 September in the college computer lab, in batches — one question set per day.
Saturday 3 October, with the FinAGG panel, including a two-minute mock sales pitch. Final list follows.
On campus, Fridays and Saturdays, taught by practising lenders. No programme fee.
Successful completion, assessed on the mocks, the pitch work and the practical record.
Graduate Trainee (BBA) or Management Trainee (MBA) at FinAGG, on a two-year commitment.
Students are selected on quantitative aptitude, communication and attitude. The first cohort is limited to 40–50 students across final-year BBA and MBA.
Three steps, weighted — and nothing to cram for.
- Quantitative aptitude — 20 questions, 20 marks, about 25 minutes
- Logical reasoning — 10 questions, 10 marks
- English language — 10 questions, 10 marks
- Finance and business GK — 15 questions, 15 marks
- Work situations, psychometric — 10 questions, 10 marks
- Written task — about 120 words, in English or Hindi, 10 marks
- Online in the college computer lab, in 90-minute batch slots across 23–25 September, one question set per day
- No negative marking. Questions in both English and Hindi, except the English section
- At least 50% in Quant — 10 of 20 — to be shortlisted for the Personal Discussion
- About 100 students, roughly twice the seats, are called for 3 October
- The three steps are consolidated into one ranking: video 15%, test 45%, discussion 40%
Selection deliberately weights aptitude, communication and attitude over board percentage — because board percentage screens for coaching access rather than for who will be good at this.
More than half of it is practical.

Sales and customer handling takes 40–50% of training time — mock pitches, build-your-own-pitch assignments and live-style simulations. It is the part of lending a degree never rehearses, and the part a hiring manager can judge in ten minutes.
What the practice actually involves — and the guardrail around it.
- 01Mock pitches and build-your-own-pitch assignments, graded by practitioners.
- 02Hands-on mocks in credit, PD, disbursement and collections, on real worked examples.
- 03Live-style simulations of the full loan journey, from first contact to closed account.
- 04Supervised customer exposure and field visits alongside a mentor, as the cohort progresses.
- ALLAssessed on quality of reasoning and conversation, never on volume of activity.
- A student speaking to a borrower is conducting regulated outreach on FinAGG's behalf. Conduct training is completed first, in induction.
- Each student identifies themselves and the entity they represent, every time.
- No student commits a limit, a rate or an approval. Ever.
- KFS and APR disclosure obligations apply to a student conversation exactly as to an employee's.
- Recording, consent and data handling under DPDP — covered in induction.
Twelve blocks, Fridays and Saturdays.
Practical work ramps as competence builds. Conduct and disclosure training is signed off in induction, before any student speaks to a borrower.
What the certificate actually certifies.
- 500 hours completed, with attendance logged
- Passes in the credit, PD, disbursement and collections mocks
- A minimum standard on GST reading — nobody certifies who cannot read a GST pull
- Sales assessments, including the build-your-own-pitch assignment
- The written work assessed on reasoning, not on format
- Capstone defended to a panel of practitioners
- A certificate, co-issued by the academic partner and the FinAGG Finance School
- A job offer from FinAGG — ₹4 LPA for the BBA cohort, ₹5 LPA for the MBA cohort
- Credit files read end to end, several worked independently
- Graded mocks across credit, PD, disbursement and collections
- A capstone artefact and its defence
- A practitioner attestation a hiring manager can read in ten minutes
A certificate says someone attended. A worked record — files read, mocks passed, pitches defended — says someone can do the job on day one.
Eleven modules, written from member job descriptions.

People who have lost money getting it wrong.
Seven named tracks — Credit, Tech & Product, Ops & Data, AI & ML, Sales & Distribution, Risk & Collections, Documentation & Legal. Whoever writes a module teaches and grades it.
The regulatory perimeter, digital lending directions, consent and data rights, conduct and recovery practice. They review teaching material annually, because regulatory content dates fastest.
Credit heads, risk officers and collections leaders — on how a book is actually built and defended.
LOS/LMS, bureau, Account Aggregator and rule-engine vendors, whose systems become the teaching environment.
Distribution, unit economics, licensing, and building a lending business from zero.
A ladder, not a slot: angel on founding teams, seed on the wedge, Series A on scaling risk, growth on the capital stack, PE on how a book is underwritten by capital.
An offer letter, on terms stated at admission.
Students who complete the programme successfully receive a job offer from FinAGG, subject to degree completion and verification. Selected students sign an agreement to join and to serve for at least two years, with a ₹50,000 Fixed Deposit in their own name lien-marked to the college — released after two years, interest kept by the student.
Hire on 500 hours of observed work, not on a forty-minute interview.
Test, select, train on real material, certify on evidence, and hire the ones who earned it.
