Hello Aspirant!

1. MBA

Hi aspirant,
The best course in finance is a degree in B.Sc. Finance, which is a relatively newer course in India and is offered by only few colleges and universities. There are other good courses which have combination of finance with other subjects like B.Sc. Finance and Economics or B.Sc. Finance and Accounting.
