Interview with Manjiri S.Bhosle, TYBMS Sem 5 Topper 2013-14, Shri Bahusaheb Vartak College of Arts, Commerce and Science who scored 72%.
How does it feel to be a Topper in the university exams? Whom will you credit your success to? What was your success mantra?
Definitely I will thank my parents for their continuous support and guidance. Also, I would like to thank My Professors for helping me every time for Encouraging me to study well.
Did you prepare any timetable and please share your study strategy/exam tips to crack each subject of sem 5?
Basically students prepare study timetable but they fail to follow it right from day 1 to the last day of exam. I did not focus on any timetable. To study was the only thing in my mind and nothing was strategically done by me.
Do you think BMS student require coaching classes or is self-study enough? Had you joined any coaching class for a particular subject?
NO Coaching is required. Self Study is important. I did not join any classes. Unless and until you study you will not get marks for free.
What was your specialization subject? Why did you opt for it?
I opted Special Studies in Marketing. The reason was myself being good in theory and marketing was something which you see in your surroundings. It is more lively study.
Can you list the textbooks you referred for all subjects?
I preferred Vipul’s textbook for all subjects. For marketing yes i supported my answer with some live examples.
Which was your worst paper? Why? Which was your best paper? Why?
Worst paper was Business Ethics. Reason could be I studied less and hence was the effect. Best Paper was Special Studies in marketing.
Today, we often come across students committing suicide out of failure, depression or tension of exams. What do you have to say about this? Did you use any special techniques for stress management?
Stress and tension is something which kills ones energy or ability to perform well.i would only advice failure is the key step to success. Simple advice “STAY CALM DURING EXAM DURATION AND DON’T GET PANIC”
The Black Book project contributing a significant part to the percentage, please share the experiences you had during the preparation of the project and how has it benefited you.
Black Book Project contributed to a great extent for my success. My topic was CRM, again it was live study and I enjoyed doing that.
Did you pursue any additional courses/ internships alongside BMS? What are your future plans?
NO I did not pursue any additional course/internship along with BMS and about future plans let it remain Secret of me.
Any tips and advises for your juniors?
Study sincerely from day one. Please do not blame teachers for your failure. About FM then yes try to solve as many problems as you can. Once you solve or just go through different sums you yourself will be confident of writing FM paper. If u give your 100% then at the end of the day success is yours.
All the best to all my friends…Study hard and let your results come with flying colors. God Bless.
