Two certifications dominate entry-level BFSI hiring in India: NISM and IRDAI. Here's how to pick.
NISM (SEBI)
Required to sell mutual funds and most investment products. The Series V-A: Mutual Fund Distributors module is the one banks ask for. Choose this if you're aiming for a banking sales role.
IRDAI
Required to sell insurance. Choose this if you're targeting an insurance advisor or bancassurance role.
Can you do both?
Yes — and many top earners hold both, because banks love people who can cross-sell investments and insurance. Our programs prepare you for the certification your target role needs.
