1)    Which factors were considered in mind while selecting the Sem 6 Electives/Optional subjects?

Firstly, choose your interest whether you want to do specialization in the field of finance.

Secondly, the electives that I had got were either portfolio or retail. So I prefer myself over numerical subjects than in theory subjects which are competitively hard to score.

2)    Did you use BMS.co.in for your exam preparation? Which sections of BMS.co.in helped you?

Yes Bms.co.in surely helped with my preparations. The sections of mock papers and how to prepare for various subjects and the study material also gave good guidance.

3)    How do you feel to be a consistent topper in both Sem 5 and Sem 6 exams?

Yes, it’s a moment which everyone desires to be the topper in their college and it feels great for being consistent topper and making your parents proud.

There is no success mantra, except for the fact that you must be updated with the college notes as well as in classes, understanding all the concepts. It’s not necessary to be in books all day because I have always prepared myself just 1 month before the exams. Especially the numerical subjects must be practiced once a week and theory could be done fortnightly. Keep yourself motivated throughout the year and you can achieve your goal.

4)    Behind one topper are many people who stood by him/her during those uncertain times when he/she was merely an ‘aspirant’. Would you like to tell the world, who was those people in your case? Any specific incidence that you would like to share with the readers?

Yes there had been many people to thank for. Starting with my parents who had been the ultimate guider and gurus for consistently being there for me when I lose my morale at times, My Mother her prayers have always worked for me throughout my life and my teachers and special friends whose motivation were the building pillar throughout my BMS course.

5)    What is your message to the aspirants?

 I would like to say that this is the final year of your college. The three years spent together with friends comes to an end. I would like to say that enjoy your final year but not at the cost of your studies because both plays an important role ahead in your life. Be updated with studies and have a good time with friends.

6) What was your study plan?

  6.1 = Being a theory subject, it becomes difficult to study everything so be aware of the concepts and later part you can do.

6.2 = it’s one of the challenging subject. Operations research requires constant practice of the sums otherwise you will lose the touch. This must be practiced regularly.

6.3 = in international finance, focus mostly on the numerical part because there you could score full marks and the theory is tuff so you must study this theory subject first because it’s hard to remember.

6.4 = it’s one of the easiest subject to prepare. Not much to be studied. So this could be the plus point but writing speed is emphasized upon.

6.5 = nothing to prepare much in this subject.

6.6 = one of the tuff subjects. Be updated about the practical part by solving sums and theory to be focused as we think only practical part would come but that dint happened this year.

7) Marks of every subject

6.1 = 46  + 35

6.2 = 48  + 34

6.3 = 51  + 36

6.4 = 44  + 38

6.5 = 40 +  38

6.6 = 38 +  35

Total marks = 483
