When I had to change my curriculum after Class 8, I was slightly skeptical. But, I knew it was the right move for my career. So, in Class 9 I moved into the Cambridge curriculum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">As soon as I made the change, I could see the difference. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/guide-to-cambridge-curriculum-board-for-your-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cambridge curriculum<\/a> is based more on our understanding of subjects and enables us to apply concepts learned. This proved to be such an advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">In fact, before I had to choose and finalize my subjects for Class 11, I could attend demo classes- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/new-education-policy-2020-impact-on-your-child-curriculum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">something unheard of in national boards right now<\/a>. After all of that is when I finally chose my subjects- Business, Economics, and Mathematics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>An All-Rounder With A Flair For Finance<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">In school, I have always been an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/extracurricular-activities-for-the-21st-century\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">all-rounder<\/a>. While I am not very academically inclined, I am a trained dancer and I love sports. So, when I started thinking about universities, I knew I had a good profile to start off with. But, I needed to make it impeccable. Moreover, I wasn\u2019t entirely sure what I wanted to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">My father is in the Finance industry and there have always been talks of me pursuing a similar career. But, I needed to be sure that I would do well in it and enjoy it. I didn\u2019t want to blindly follow my father\u2019s footsteps. The only question on my mind was, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/career-guidance-for-students-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How do I get started?<\/a>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Univariety Story<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">My school, Nahar International, is partnered with Univariety. They have always been very proactive in reaching out to high school students and assist them with their career concerns. I decided to take a couple of <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/products.univariety.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">psychometric tests<\/a><\/span> offered by them- Ideal Career Test and Branch Selector Test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">It was no surprise to find that my strengths indeed lay in finance. I do enjoy Maths classes and have an interest in numbers. So, now I knew I was sure of a career in finance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">But what next?\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">That\u2019s when I had a session with Muskaan Ma\u2019am. She was the best! It was almost as if she could read my mind and give me tips without me having to even ask her. She took a look at my reports, asked me a few questions, and gave me great advice on what to do next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>We Have A Winner!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Considering my tryst with Finance, she asked me to stick to the field. But where she really helped was in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/promap-one-of-the-leading-career-guidance-tool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">streamlining my path<\/a>. She cut down the excess options and I was able to finally zero in on the BBA+MBA degree from IIM Indore. I didn\u2019t even know such a degree existed! So, a big thanks to Muskaan Ma\u2019am. I also added NMIMS, SP Jain, and a few other universities as a backup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">To help me build my profile, she also suggested that I do a few virtual internships through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univariety.com\/blog\/virtual-internship-program-impacting-student-career-decisions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virtual Internship Program<\/a>. So, I did the Family Business, Chartered Accountancy, and Fund Management internships. The simulations were very real and gave me a good insight into what the real world would be like.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>The Power Of ProMap\u2019s Videos And Research Tools\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">She also guided me to the ProMap videos and research material. Boy, were they helpful! I learned so much about various colleges, fields, industries, opportunities and all this information only strengthened my decision to go to IIM Indore. In fact, I was also able to freeze on India as my study destination. Before watching the videos, I was also looking at the National University Of Singapore as an option but not anymore!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.promap.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ProMap<\/a>, Muskaan Ma\u2019am has also sent me a few more profile-building activities. She also told me about the weight that my non-academic profile would carry in my applications. Once I finish my examination, I am going to finish those off and start preparing for my integrated BBA+MBA program at IIM Indore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">I owe so much to Univariety, ProMap, and most importantly, Muskaan Ma\u2019am for helping me so sincerely through this journey. I definitely recommend this service to other students. We might not always know what to do with our aptitude and interest and we are also likely to be confused when we are of this age. Seeking help is always better in the long run!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first, Vidhi seems like a shy teenager but very quickly she changes your mind.
