How does it feel to be a Topper in the university exams? Whom will you credit your success to? What was your success mantra?

I am so happy to being a college topper, it’s like my dream come true. all credit goes to my subject teachers and my parents. 

Did you prepare any timetable and please share your study strategy/exam tips to crack each subject of sem 5?

• Set a daily target of theory chapter and study them properly.
• Daily revision of practical subject like fm.
• Logistics is very easy subject when we understand the concept. My favorite subject is HRM and marketing.

Do you think BMS student require coaching classes or is self-study enough? Had you joined any coaching class for a particular subject?

It is necessary for practical subject like FM. But if, I have join the coaching classes I may have obtain much more marks than what I have obtain right now.

What was your specialization subject? Why did you opt for it?

My specialization subject is HRM and Marketing because like that subject and in future I want to build my carrier

Can you list the textbooks you referred for all subjects?

• HRM- Vipul publication
• Service Sector- Rishab publication
• FM- No specific text book
• Logistics- Rishab publication
• Ethics-Vipul and rishabh publication
• SSM- vipul and rishabh publication

Which was your worst paper? Why? Which was your best paper? Why?

My worst paper was FM because paper framing of questions in the paper itself was tuff and not from our syllabus and my best paper was marketing because its questions were easy to answer.

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?

I say that committing suicide is not the only solution to come out from the failure, depression or tension of exam. I suggest to those students who are thinking for such step like committing suicide that failure is always a stepping stone for success. Whenever I feel like stress I go for 5 to 10 minutes relax and again after feeling relax I go for my study.

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.

Project marks is very important for me. The experience of doing project is memorable. 

Did you pursue any additional courses/ internships alongside BMS? What are your future  plans?

I am doing work in coaching classes its help me a lot. I want to work in HR department or marketing department in future.

Any tips and advises for your juniors?

• I must tell to all just think positive about all subject and study them properly.
• Give equal importance to subjects like Service Sector mgmt. and Logistics, Ethics as they are not easy subjects.
• My tips are be sincere, believe in your hard work and keep on trying till you succeed.

I would like to wish everyone all the best to my juniors. Do well…
