Joint Management Development Programmes (MDP) on the financial / derivatives market, educational conclaves on commodity derivatives inviting participation from other business schools & universities, and events like CONQUEST are some of the initiatives that the MOU manifests.
On the academic front, the MOU agrees that SRM University-AP may launch full/part-time Postgraduate Executive Diploma courses in the Financial /Commodity Derivatives Market with significant input from MCX on the curriculum.
