Scope of the program (R Studio Stock Analysis)
- Financial modeling of equity prices in the Indian Stock Market and study fundamental papers on the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
- Apply case study methods to test individual stocks for consistency with the CAPM model, and to evaluate relative risk of individual stocks to that of the overall market.

- He would like to deep dive into further mathematical concepts to analyze Indian stock market
How did our program help him?
- Our mentor worked hard with the student in using R Studio for stock analysis to plot different types of graphs such as time series and clustering.
- Our mentor will be happy to write a letter of recommendation for the student for his undergraduate application.
