To help provide skilled manpower to India’s first international financial services centre in Gujarat, NSE has inked a pact with the state’s Ganpat University for offering degree level programmes related to capital markets.

Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), coming up near Ahmedabad, is expected to be the first such city in the country.

“Keeping in mind that India’s first international finance centre may require a huge skilled manpower, India’s leading stock exchange ? NSE ? has signed an MoU with Ganpat University, Gujarat, for offering degree level programmes,” the National Stock Exchange (NSE) said in a statement today.

Earlier, NSE had signed an agreement with GIFT authorities to set up an international exchange in the city.

NSE had also entered into an agreement with the Gujarat government for school level basic financial education programme.
