• Good at socializing and building relationships.

• Always look for opportunities and love sharing my bad and good lessons of life.

• Prof. Vinay Pandit and his one comment has changed the way I looked at myself “Very good work, keep it up” for my 2nd year research report.

Does KTs/Marks really matter to a recruiter/interviewer?

• No ATKTs or marks have been asked in the past 5 interviews which I have cleared for jobs.
• Companies look for Effective Communication Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Knowledge of the field, Confidence and Past extra-curricular activities in a fresher.

• If someone wants to be an entrepreneur then work for startups. It will help gain lots of cross-functional experience.
• If someone is looking for a good job in best companies then MBA from good college is recommended.
• If someone wants to work after BMS then  join as an intern in good company and there are very good chances to become an employee of the same company.
• There is a lot of scope to work with E-commerce and social media companies for BMS students.
