Interview with Elza Amy Thomas, SYBAF Student, Pillai’s College

1.Tell us about yourself?
Hi. I am Amy Elza Thomas. I am in second yr. B.com (a/f). When it comes to achievements, I am trained classical dancer. I am interested in learning new forms of dance. I like singing reading, playing badminton, throwball, basketball etc. I hate sitting idle.

2. When did you join BAF?
I joined Baf in 2013 I am in 2nd yr. I choose Baf because I love accounts and maths. I see it as my strength as other courses have these subjects but I wanted to opt for a specialized course in accounts and finance.

3. Tell us about your college
Our college, I can say that it is the best in Navi Mumbai where they provide almost all types of courses. I love their infrastructure, their faculties, their management etc. There is no favorite teacher because every teacher is different from each other and good in what they teach. Happiest moment in BAF will be our fest  Emphzer where we all come together. And saddest will be that that fest got cancelled.. And memorable will be everyone working as one team during the fest.

4. Who in your life has influenced the most?
My parents have influenced me the most.

5. According to you what is BAF?
BAF is all about how a company maintains its accounts. It makes you aware of how the outer world works. And prepares us for that world so that when we go out to work, things will be easy for us. As a student I think there is no need to change the Indian education system because the things we should know is what they are teaching us. But I would like to change one thing i.e we should have more practical knowledge than theory

6. What would you advice someone planning to do BAF?
In my life if some one is planning to choose BAF, I would advise him/her to think and choose because people think its easy but it is not. And if you choose BAF it will be very helpful if you are planning to get a job in a bank

7.  3 questions you would like to ask an MBA?
Do you think before doing MBA, it is better to have a work experience?
After doing BAF, MBA in which specialization will be better?
How difficult is it to pass the MBA entrance exams?

8. What are your future plans?
My ambition is to get the best post an MBAian can get and fulfil my parents wishes and my dreams too.
