Value-Added Courses Helped me to Learn Basic and Advanced Concepts, says ISBR BCom + ACCA Student

I am Ajay Kumar currently pursuing BCom in Finance and ACCA at ISBR. I’m interested in Capital Markets and Finance and want to make my career in Investment and Banking field. My hobbies include locating good stocks for investing and backtesting various fundamental and technical strategies of different markets. 

• How did you choose your course of study in school (class XI-XII)? What made you choose your current college/course (undergrad/post-grad)?

I have completed my PUC in Commerce and Computer Science (CEBA) My teachers had a broad knowledge of the industry and subject and they supported me to learn basics and advanced concepts. One of my teachers suggested pursuing a professional qualification along with BCom as it harnesses technical and soft skills. That is why I chose BCom +ACCA from ISBR. 

• How you cracked admission to your current college? What all entrance test(s) did you give? Any coaching classes that you took for preparation? Any other colleges that you were trying out for? What challenges did you face while opting for this college?

Taking admission at ISBR was an easy task. I had a conversation with a teacher and discussed my goals. One of my reasons to choose ISBR was the courses they were offering. Few colleges/universities offer BCom + ACCA combination and ISBR is one of them. 

• How do you spend your time at college? Which classes do you like to attend? Which extra-curricular activities are you a part of in college? If given a chance, what else would you want to do? How has your college experience changed you as a person? What opportunities do you see in future? 

I had very good memories in college starting from friends to faculties. All of them were supportive and helped me to learn new things. Many of them give detailed notes on each and every small thing. Our faculties helped us to improve our communication skills and other interpersonal skills by conducting various fun and exciting activities. I attended accounting classes regularly as our accounting faculty is very experienced and expert in teaching and I would always excited to learn in a systematic manner. Subjects like Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, and Finance as an elective. Selecting a Finance elective was one of my good decisions as the teachers are very practical and make us understand various live examples in the market. I would like the college to add many more practical and important curriculum activities for students. The college helped me to improve my knowledge and skill and had a great circle of people around me. I am passionate about finance and analytics. I will build my carrier in roles like financial analyst, data analyst or investment banker.

• What do you plan for the future?

I have a keen interest in Finance and want to make a career in the same field. I'll be an investment banking or finance analyst. I will leave no stone turned to make a successful career in Finance/Fintech.
