Interview with Ashwini Milind Mhatre, TYBMS Topper 2013, CKT College

I am fun loving person. I like to chitchat with my friends and family. I just love what I do.

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

While selecting elective subject I considered my strengths means I am not good at finance but I love marketing related subjects. So rather than taking any risk I selected RM.

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

Yes. For the pure theory subjects like IMTP and Ethics notes by BMS.co.in helped me a lot.

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

My only mantra is first and foremost getting your concepts clear. Just love what you are doing. While preparing for exams I always think about my family and how much they love me without any expectation. Whenever I feel that I am getting down in my studies I always remember one line said by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, “Don’t take rest after success because outside there are people waiting to say ‘last victory was just luck’”. These thoughts and continuous reminder by my teachers act like energizer for study.

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 were those people in your case? Any specific incidence that you would like to share with the readers?

Whatever good I am today is just because of my family, my teachers at CKT College and God. A small talk with my mother, sister and father is always like tonic during my bad times. My friends also have great contribution in my success. Because I didn’t join any coaching for IF and OR. They are the people who helped me to come out of the fear of these subjects. It was last day of our college. Each of our teachers and some of my friends gave small speech. That time I realized that how much they trust us. I was not expecting 1^st rank in 6^th sem but it was that moment I decided to put my 100% from my side.

5) What is your message to the aspirants?

Believe in your hard work. It will definitely give you something fruitful in return. Just love your course. Don’t take it as burden.

6) What was your study plan?

There was no specific study plan except for IF. I studied religiously for IF since the day we got our study leave. About OR it is all about group study and same with IF sums. In case of remaining subjects concentration in lectures and study for tutorials helped me for getting marks in both internal and external exam. I always believe in fact that if you are cleared with basics of any concept then you can write pages after pages without any prior preparation.
