Students of Indian School of Businesses (ISB) will now have hands-on training in trading.

ISB, in association with the National Stock Exchange (NSE), has set up a trading laboratory at its campus here.

The lab, with 34 trading terminals, would offer a real-life experience to the students besides taking up research on developing markets, Ajit Rangnekar, Dean, ISB, told newspersons after inauguration of the lab here on Wednesday.

Chitra Ramakrishna, MD & CEO, NSE, said the collaboration with ISB was first of its kind for NSE with any business school. "We will see how this works before scaling it up," she added.

Apart from students, the lab's risk and governance initiative would also help investors, executives, bankers and fund managers to improve their skills, the dean said.
