Interview with Anjali. R. Singh, TYBMS Sem 5 Topper 2013-14, Tolani College of Commerce who scored 79.14%.
How does it feel to be a Topper in the university exams? Whom will you credit your success to? What was your success mantra?
It feels like being at the top of the world. I am very very happy that I topped this semester. It feels really good when you are acknowledged for your hardwork.
The credit goes to my college professors who really put in a lot of efforts to make the concepts clear ..They made things understandable. My college professors gave a lot of real life examples which helped me remember things better….
YOU GOT TO WATER THE SEED TODAY TO RELISH THE FRUIT TOMORROW…. This is what I believe in and is my SUCCESS MANTRA….We have to work hard from today itself to be a successful personality in the future.
Did you prepare any timetable and please share your study strategy/exam tips to crack each subject of sem 5?
No. I didn’t prepare any timetable as such.. I feel rather than sitting at home and trying to byheart answers..it’s better to understand the concept and remember it throughout our life..
My strategy is to study very sincerely 10 days before the exams..Make sure that you atleast go through the entire portion once before the exams.
Do you think BMS student require coaching classes or is self-study enough? Had you joined any coaching class for a particular subject?
I don’t feel any need of joining any coaching classes..Self-studies are far more better than joining a class. Self-study is the best thing u can do to score well. But for u must concentrate in your college lectures..
I never joined any coaching class.
What was your specialization subject? Why did you opt for it?
I specialized in finance because in the previous 4 semesters of BMS I learnt a lot about marketing….so I wanted to diversify my knowledge that’s the reason I specialized in finance.
Can you list the textbooks you referred for all subjects?
Service sector- sunny fernandes: rishabh publication
Financial management- Arvind dhond: vipul
HRM- rishabh publication
Logistics- Dr. Vinay Pandit: sheth publication

Which was your worst paper? Why? Which was your best paper? Why?
My worst paper was financial management. The questions were really tough. The questions from certain chapters were not found in the paper.
My best paper was HRM.
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?
This is a really sad problem which most of the teenagers are facing. Students who will read this article please understand that if u fail in your university exam that’s not the end of your life. Life is very beautiful and blessing of god. So never ever think about suicide or get depressed. If u feel that your interest is not in studies, do something which you are passionate about. You can make a career out of your hobby and passion as well.
To reduce my stress I use to read harry potter books and watch its movie also.
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.
Yes. The black book project has really helped me to learn a lot. Black book project commands a lot of research so it helps us to know about new facts. My experience was amazing during the preparation of the project. I spoke to different people about my project. Did a lot of research and it was fun.
Did you pursue any additional courses/ internships alongside BMS? What are your future plans?
I took classes for CMAT and CAT exam but didn’t appear for it this year. I am planning to do MBA after getting a job experience of 2-3 yrs.
Any tips and advises for your juniors?
Tips for the juniors will be to not worry about exams…just try and learn things..be curious to know about new topics or subjects..this is the age of learning..so get as much knowledge as you can so that you can apply it in future.
