Hi Dhillon,
Most of the successful Investment Bankers in India are either finance professionals like:
1. CA.
2. CS.
3. CWA or
4. Management Graduates.
It would be recommended for you to register for a professional course like:
1. CA.
2. CS.
3. CWA, etc. while doing graduation and complete it successfully.
Thereafter, if time and budget permit, you may get yourself enrolled for Management course with a reputed B-School which will help you to get an entry into Investment Banking sector.
There are many degree programs to prepare individuals for careers in Investment Banking. Common majors include:
1. Accounting.
2. Business or
3. Finance.
Although Bachelor's degrees are suitable for many positions, higher level positions in this field may require job applicants to hold Master's degrees in Business Administration or Finance. Many business administration programs provide actual field experience, which employers prefer. Both undergraduate and graduate programs in these fields provide instruction on developing proper professional behavior and understanding the importance of business ethics. Some potential job titles to consider include:
1. Investment Banker.
2. Floor Broker and
3. Financial Manager.
Many financial sale agents are referred to as Investment Bankers. This position involves connecting businesses with investors. Investment bankers advise companies on which stocks or bonds to pursue, and they sell securities to investors to try and ensure that investors are protected. Most employers require applicants to hold the minimum of Bachelor's Degrees.
Investment bankers usually must be licensed or registered through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). In order to do so, a worker must be employed for a minimum of four months before passing the General Securities Registered Representative Exam. Many states also require the completion of a second examination, which is the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination.
Feel free to raise more questions.
Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.
