Jyoti Bansal’s Udemy courses

Jyoti Bansal teaches the most reviewed course in this comparison, and her Udemy profile lists eight courses, 210,180 learners and 48,658 reviews on November 1, 2026. The profile describes her as a certified technical analyst from NCFM, the NSE Academy certification in financial markets, and a certified investment adviser from NISM; we did not check those certifications with the issuing bodies. Several of her courses are co-taught with an account named Jyoti Bansal Analysis. The ratings shown on the profile, and on each course page, are not the all-time average: they match the field Udemy’s course data calls the recent average. MasterClass 2, for example, shows 4.6 on the profile and on its own page, against an all-time average of 4.46. The comparison table above uses the all-time average for every course, so its figures are lower or higher than the stars you see on Udemy.

Her Fibonacci and chart pattern courses pair with our free pages on Fibonacci retracement and chart patterns, which give the measured results of each pattern on our bench.
