Careers360: What is the course you are pursuing at IBS and what made you choose this specialisation?

Siddhant: I am pursuing a major specialization in Finance with minor specialization in Analytics. Since childhood, I used to hear my father talk about his business performance, the profits and losses, turnover etc. This slowly and gradually developed my interest in finance. Analytics is what the global industries are currently demanding and looking for, hence the combination of the two would be the best for me in my opinion.

Careers360: Summer internship is mandatory in all IBS campuses. Where did you pursue it and what was the duration? What were the steps to get into it?

Siddhant: I pursued my summer internship at AZ Capital, an investment advisory firm. The duration of the internship was 14 weeks. In the selection process, 3 rounds of selection were conducted- - the resume screening, the group interview with the business head of AZ Capital, and the personal interview with the founder himself.
