There's this craze among some of our ppl at NITIE to take up certifications in finance to add to the CV's. To get into a finance job, some certifications might help.....generally since that is the view, i followed too...
Yeah, promptly went to NSE applied for one of the basic modules.......(yeah, had to shell out 1000 bucks too). The initial enthusiasm somehow did not translate into hardwork or real interest in finance! Somehow, may be because of summers and other pressures had no time to prepare for side events like certifications....
So, started preparin for the NCFM test yesterday night(yeah, today was the test...) did get a lot of insight into finance from the nice booklet the NSE people handover during registration, but i guess studying for one night is not enough to pass the exams........oh yeah, flunked...by a whisker! Pass marks was 60, and i got 59.25....was hoping against hope that i would somehow get through! well, as fate would have it somethings are bound to happen....
But the stranger thing is, went out to have a party with IMPRESS teammates...(lemme give u the background--i am part of a committee called as IMPRESS, which does media management work at NITIE....we had a successful event called 'Media Samiksha', a panel discussion organised today, with some big shots from media coming down to our campus...).... No, doubt the party was to celebrate the success!
So, the moral of the whole episode is: "In a B-school, you can flunk in some things and still have parties", or....... am i wrong??
Ciao till next time...Harsha
