An Interview with Veronica Fernandes, TYBMS Sem 5 Topper, Tolani College of Commerce (78%)
I’m a fun loving and outgoing person. As a student I am very regular and education driven. I believe that study is a small part but knowledge is must. “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” I expected the percentage I secured but didn’t expect to top and the credit goes to my family, professors and me. I began studying around more than a month before the exams as I had an overview of most of the topics because of my internals. I followed a self made time table where I gave 3-4 days per subject and 5 hours per day. I write my paper backwards and I write the case study in the end. I allot suitable examples wherever required. All subjects were not very difficult except for FM as I’m not a finance student, so practice is must there. I had not joined any coaching class but I would like to suggest that for subjects like financial management joining coaching class would help. I am a part of Rotract club and was also in the creative team of Eureka which is a fest of self financing of Tolani College. So it is not very difficult to manage both together.
I believe –
· “Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.”
· “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.”
I feel that IV’s should be increased for bms students as it gives a lot of exposure and also acts as a stress buster. I have visited Plastic bottles manufacturing industry at Thane. I feel bms students are always flooded with so much going on all together. The education system is not very sorted out and contains many loopholes. They need to overcome them. Take your internals, presentations and assignments seriously. Do not emphasize on important questions as everything in the syllabus is important when it comes to your boards. After BMS, I would go for a 1 year job to gain exposure and then MBA. Thank you BMS.co.in for letting me share my views and experiences.
