Islamic Banking is growing at a faster pace than conventional banking industry with an annual growth rate of over 17% registered each year.
Thus, Islamic banking assumes alarming importance in the Indian economy with an optimistically promising outlook of financial possibilities in the Indian financial market. For a start, about 100 students will be taking the under graduate and post graduate courses in Islamic Banking and Finance , on a full-time or part-time basis. Lecturers from IIUM’s Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance would be involved in conducting the programme at Ma’din Academy.
Students will be trained one month per year at International Islamic University Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. Upon successful completion of this program, a prospective student will be exposed to wide ranging placement opportunities in the Islamic Banking sector, which is well established in the Gulf and ASEAN countries. International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) Rector, Dr. Zaleha Kamaruddin and Ma’din Academia for Research and International Studies Director General , Dr. K.K.N Kurup signed an MoA to commence Islamic Banking courses in India and in the Gulf countries.
