NCFM- Financial Market Preparatory Workshop (Foundation

Workshop)

Introduction

Taking into account international experience and the needs of the Indian

financial markets, National Stock Exchange introduced in 1998 a facility

for testing and certification by launching NSE's Certification in Financial

Markets (NCFM).

NCFM is an online testing and certification programme. It tests the

practical knowledge and skills required to operate in the financial

markets.

Tests are conducted in a secure and unbiased manner and certificates

awarded based on merit of the candidate to qualify the on-line test.

The entire process of testing, assessing and scores reporting in the NCFM

is fully automated. The system is operated through an intranet facility by

using a central World Wide Web server with terminals located at each of

the designated test centres to be used as an examination front end.

Communication between the central server and the test centres is

achieved through VSAT/leased line network.
