I was always good at dealing with people, hence the MBA and as far as finance is considered, it interested me from my childhood.
Tell us about the AIMETC days now?
All the teachers there were so supportive and Rahul sir motivated me so much. I participated in many competitions and I got second position in a business quiz held in a different college.
I also participated in Pinnacle and Spark, both prestigious college festivals. I was the coordinator of the Bhangra team and painting team there.
You were campus placed right?
I got placed in a few companies. I chose HDFC Life as it was in Jalandhar. I did not wish to join ICICI bank, the other good opportunity for it was based in Delhi and I wanted to stay in my hometown.
Any advice for current Apeejay students?
AIMETC is a great place for great beginnings. Just keep working on yourself
