How did you feel when you got the news of placement? What is the position you joined?

I felt extremely joyful when I learned I had been placed. Late-night study sessions, case studies, and mock interviews all of the difficult work—appeared at last to be valuable.

I will be joining  as a Branch Manager Trainee. Managing a portfolio and heading a little team of staff, I will be learning daily branch operations . It offers the ideal starting point to use my financial knowledge while honing people-management abilities in a practical context.

How did you prepare for the placement ? How did your teachers at Apeejay help you pass the process?

I started by understanding  the job roles and companies that were visiting the campus which helped me identify  the specific  skills  I need to strengthen . I practiced aptitude questions, improved my communication skills and regularly revised important  concepts related to my fields.  Throughout this journey .

My teachers at Apeejay played a major role in my success . They guided me at every  stage-right from helping me plan my preparation to conducting mock interviews, group discussions and aptitude  practice sessions . Their detailed feedback after every mock session helped me understand my weakness and improve continuously . The teachers also shared valuable  insights  about industry expectations, interview strategies and the right way to present myself professionally. Their constant motivation and personal mentorship boosted my confidence, especially during the actual placement  round.  Because of their support ,guidance and encouragement.  I was able to clear the placement  process Smoothly and perform to the best of my ability

Finally ,professional etiquette, which includes dressing appropriately, arriving on time, using direct eye contact ,and listening  well – reminds the interviewer  of a positive  first impression.  

Which skills are important to develop if planning to join the finance sector?

Concentrate on enhancing financial modelling  and analysis  including proficiency  in Excel, valuation  modelling  and financial statement Interpretation,  in case you want to pursue  a career in finance.  Credit appraisal and risk management should similarly be done, for which you have to understand loan underwriting, borrower credit risk assessment, and portfolio monitoring.  

Tips to stay calm during a placement interview

To feel composed during a placement  interview: first create a short pitch that connects  your finance and HR experience to the job in question, rehearsing this one – minute introduction ensures you’ve covered the key points  and reduces anxiety.  Right before going into the room, do some simple breathing -inhale for four seconds, hold  for two, exhale for six-to drop your heart rate. Visualise  yourself answering  with confidence  and  answering the panel with confidence.
