Exploring the Intersection of Psychology and Business at ABBS: Hemanth's Academic Journey and Campus Experience
Hi, I'm Hemanth, currently pursuing a BA degree in psychology from ABBS. Despite my science background with PCMB combination in PU, my interest in psychology led me to join this course. My hobbies include traveling, reading books, and thoroughly enjoying movies. Additionally, I have a keen interest in business and the stock market.
Q1. How did you choose your course of study in school (class XI-XII)? What made you choose an BA at Acharya Bangalore Business School (ABBS)?
Since my time as a school student, I had a keen interest in human anatomy, and I consistently performed well in my academics. Therefore, I opted for PCMB in my pre-university studies, a choice that brought me much happiness. However, as I completed my pre-university education, I gradually became introduced to the subject of psychology, which captured my interest. This led me to decide to pursue a career as a psychologist, as it offers insights into understanding myself better. I learned about ABBS through Google, and upon visiting the campus, I was greatly impressed by its ambiance, structure, and overall environment. These factors played a significant role in my decision to choose ABBS for my academic journey.
