1) Tell us about yourself, your background, why did you join BMS and what do you plan to do after BMS?

My name is Shauryasingh. K . Chowhan. I am 19 years old. I did my schooling at H.V.B Academy. I am presently doing BMS course from K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce. I am from a conservative Hindu family. I joined BMS because it helps us in building up confidence and helps us realise the talent in us which we are not aware of. It also expertise us in a proper and systematic management, which is very essential in today’s life. After my BMS, I am planning to start a textile business.

2) How does it feel to be a Topper of the college in Semester exams?

It is always a special feeling to be the topper of the college in Semester exams. At the same time it motivates us to perform better in future exams.

3) Whom will you credit your success to?

           I credit my success to my parents, especially to my father. It is because of him that I am able to achieve this success. He has given me some tips from his life experience and his tips have helped me overcome the difficulties.

4) Did you start preparing from the first day of your SYBMS?

No. I have never started preparing from the first day, except for practical subjects. If you attend lectures and understand the basics of all subjects, you have prepared yourself 40%.

5) How did you study for Sem III? (Share some tips / advice for each subject)

Firstly, I understood the basic concept of each subject. This is very important as it makes our further preparations very easy.

Secondly, I underlined the important points, it helps us in framing our answers systematically.

Students should never learn by rote as they are not able to understand the concepts. They should always understand the answer. As far practical subjects are concerned practice maximum problems.

Time Management is very important during exams. We get very less time to answer the paper. Subjects such as Managerial Economics, Management A/C and Marketing Management are very lengthy. It is important to have a good writing speed, say answering one question in 30 minutes.

 6) Which are the easy subjects in Sem III?

 From my study experience till date, all subjects are easy for you if you are able to understand it and vice-versa.

 7) Any special way of writing the answers? Do you write answers in bullet points or in paragraphs?

I write answers systematically. I write answers in bullet points along with necessary diagrams. Both quality and quantity should be seen while writing the answers.  It is mandatory to write answers in bullet points. Marks are deducted if the answers are written in paragraphs.

 8) How do you crack case studies in theory and practical subjects?

In case studies the practicality of the students are tested. The concepts of a particular topic play a very big role in solving the case study. It is important to first understand the case study and then solve it.

9) Did you draw any diagram in any paper? Is it mandatory? Does it help to get more marks?

I have drawn diagrams in almost every answer. Diagram is a must in every answer. You get around 2-3 marks for the diagram itself.

10) Any specific study pattern adopted i.e. timetable / how many hours per subject per day etc.?

Well, my study pattern is different. I study for half-n-hour and then take a 5-10 minutes break and so on. This way I am able to fresh up my mood and able to study better. I cannot study continuously for 2-3 hours. I also don’t study every day, except for practical subjects.

11) How do you fight against mood swings and distractions during exam preparation?

I take a 5-10 minutes’ walk in my building or I listen some songs in order to fresh my mood.

12) If you are made the Vice Chancellor of Mumbai University, what changes would you like to initiate in BMS education system?

If this happens then the only change that I will do in BMS education system is I will bring back the 60-40 format of examination.

13) Many students prepare sincerely but constantly live under fear that they are not from big college / not from English medium and eventually lose confidence. What message would you like to these students?

I would like to tell them never lose your confidence. It doesn’t matter you that you are from a big college or English medium. You are known by your talent. You should have self-confidence in yourself to succeed in life.

14) Through this struggle and success, what have you learned? What is the wisdom of life and competition? What is your message to the upcoming BMS students?

I have learnt from this success that if you give your 100%, you will always be a successful person. Without hard work you never succeed. I always have a simple motive, ‘enjoy every moment of life’. I would like to advise the upcoming students, work hard and at the same time enjoy the course.

15) Your feedback for BMS.co.in?

There is always room for improvement.
