My story with Akshara began in 6th grade, when I joined in as a timid and reserved student. With the right blend of academics and extracurriculars & aided by the constant guidance encouragement of the teachers,
I gathered confidence and moved a step further towards unleashing my inner potential. From CCA activities, annual concerts and sports days to class tests, pre-boards and vivas, the trip down the memory lane is always pleasing to look back on. Being the school topper in 10th grade, was one in which the school and faculty played a significant role. After some introspection, I proceeded to choose commerce as my stream and without any hesitation, I chose to spend my next two years in Akshara. And it goes without saying that I didn’t regret my choice a bit. The process of adjusting to newer subjects like accountancy and economics was a cakewalk, thanks to the lucid explanations and practical insights. Over my years at Akshara, I’ve sharpened several skills namely time management, discipline and self motivation. With the support of everyone, I passed my 12th board examinations securing Rank 1 in the commerce stream. With a plethora of options infront of me, the choice became quite critical and eventually, I settled on the course of Chartered Accountancy.After passing the CA Foundation exam, I didn’t let the low passing percentage or vast syllabus discourage me and with the same level of consistency and motivation, I cleared my CA Intermediate examination in the 1st attempt with a distinction and exemptions in all 8 subjects. As a part of the curriculum, the CA course has made a 3 year articleship mandatory. For the same, I’ll be working at Deloitte (one of the Big4s) in the Statutory Audit department, hoping to implement all the skills and values I’ve picked along the way with an intention to get the best exposure possible. This journey’s beginning dates back to 2015, when I stepped into the premises of Akshara International School and a part of me will forever be indebted, so here’s a heartfelt thank you for the best 7 years of my life!
*Options to explore after 12th (Commerce)*
As a commerce pass out, on one hand there are professional courses such as CA (Chartered Accountant) ,CS (Company Secretary) ,CMA (Cost Accountant) and a lesser ventured into yet lucrative option such as Actuary. If a student plans to settle abroad and wishes to set up his establishment there, ACCA and CPA also stand out, depending on the preferred location. Future MBA aspirants can get a headstart by choosing to pursue BBA. Several IIMs offer a 5 year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM), which is beneficial for ones with a long term vision. On the other spectrum, one can pursue a legal career or a degree in commerce or economics. Several niche areas such as digital marketing, investment banking, supply chain management are also domains which can be explored as per one’s area of interest and liking.
