Introduction to Virtual Stocks

“Firstly, I think more knowledge on professional gameplay in terms of stock trading operations is important for anybody and everybody who’s going into the market. Not only should people know how to make money, but they should also know how other people make money. Secondly, people should have some amount of money to spare after a couple of years, which they can invest to make more money. Hence, Virtual Stocks platform contributes on both the fronts – professional as well as personal.”

“An initiative like StockMIND (Virtual Trading Competition organized by ICICIdirect) helps in honing the skills of students such as their analytical and problem solving ability. It also helps them take more risks in life. All these traits are being valued a lot in the corporate world and enhance employability to a larger extent. ”

“StockMIND (Virtual Trading competition) has helped students to gain practical insight into the area of investment theory. Our students have started taking lot more interest in the area of Finance. ”

“StockMIND certainly helps students in their careers, because they have a more hands-on experience on what they are learning from their books. Teachers can also use this virtual platform to give their students a practical learning experience. ”

“All our students felt that they were trading in a real live-market situation, even with virtual money. This is the enthusiasm we are looking for in our students. ”
