edZeb understands the importance of having a great mentor as the students’ whole life is dependent on their mentors. So the right guidance plays a crucial role and today we are in talks with our esteemed ACCA aspirant Vanshika. She has well-balanced her academics, extracurricular activities, and professional certifications. We know that it sometimes becomes overwhelming, especially for a student who is still in high school. But Vanshika, a 12th grader, took on the challenge and emerged victorious by clearing two of her ACCA Knowledge Level exams, all while managing her school responsibilities. Her journey proves her determination, smart planning, and our right mentorship. The ACCA Course structure played a significant part in helping her stay organized and focus on her key goals without compromising on other commitments.
In this interview, we asked Vanshika to share insights into how she navigated her ACCA journey with the guidance of edZeb’s experienced faculty, specifically her mentor Akhil sir, who helped her strike a balance between her studies and other commitments.
So, Vanshika, congratulations on your success! Which ACCA exams did you clear, and how do you feel about passing them?
Thank you for having me here, and I am so happy that I’ve cleared two exams at the Knowledge Level-Business and Technology (BT) and Financial Accounting (FA). I recently cleared the FA in June, but it took me two attempts. Given that I’m currently in 12th grade, managing both school and ACCA was a bit challenging at times, but I feel really proud of this achievement.
Managing your school studies alongside ACCA must be tough. How did you balance both?
Yes mam, it was so tough as I am in school and actively participating in activities. Akhil sir always encouraged me to do that but yes at times it was burdening, especially with my other responsibilities like I was the head girl of my school, so managing studies with activities and my ACCA coaching was tough. However, I received great support from Akhil sir, who never discouraged me from taking up opportunities. He made sure I stayed on track by helping me manage my studies alongside extracurriculars at school, which helped me live my life fully. Otherwise at some point of time in my life, I would have regretted it.
Speaking of Akhil sir, how has he supported you in your ACCA journey?
Akhil sir is an incredible mentor. He never asked us to just focus on the books. He used to explain concepts through real-world examples, like the famous Satyam case study. He encourages all of us in the class to explore and take advantage of every opportunity. I started ACCA in 11th, and he helped me plan my studies so I could focus on my 12th board exams without stress. It is commendable how he understood my strengths and weaknesses and planned out a schedule well suited to me. I lived my school life at best and yes very well managed my ACCA coaching at edZeb. All thanks to Akhil sir.
You mentioned balancing school with ACCA exams. Did Akhil sir provide any special guidance for your study plan?
Yes, absolutely! Since I started in 11th grade, he advised me to make the most of that year because 12th would be intense with boards. He made sure I was well-prepared in advance and always supported my decisions, took suggestions, and gave the best advice possible like not taking up more exams right before my board exams. So, I think that he personally planned out everything for me.
How was your experience with the classes at edZeb? Did you attend online or offline?
I attended offline classes, both on weekdays and weekends. The classes were engaging and fun, especially Bhalla sir’s sessions. Even after a long day at school, I never wanted to miss his classes because they were so enjoyable and interactive.
Would you say the course fees at edZeb are justified given the quality of education and exposure?
Yes, mam because it’s not just about the knowledge; it is about the exposure also. I’ve told all my friends that the opportunities and experiences we get at edZeb are worth it. I was even involved in an event inauguration and got to work closely with the team, for a better overall experience. The team at edZeb is so friendly that I can approach them at any time related to ACCA.
Has Akhil sir shared any insights on placements and industry trends?
Yes, Akhil sir keeps us informed about industry insights, including placements. For instance, we recently learned about upcoming KPMG recruitment drives for ACCA students graduating this year or next. All students share their views and opinions in his class, it is so motivational to speak in front of everyone and yes that has boosted my confidence as well.
Would you recommend edZeb to others who are just starting their ACCA journey?
Yes mam, definitely, I have already told many of my friends about edZeb. The institute does not only help you with studies but also prepares you for the professional world, with exposure to events and networking opportunities.
Finally, how would you sum up your ACCA journey at edZeb?
Mmm, my ACCA journey with edZeb is amazing! As a 12th class, it never felt like a burden. I got the right guidance from my mentors, everything has been manageable. My parents also trust Akhil sir’s advice completely, which has been reassuring throughout this journey. So I think edZeb is doing a great job, it is the best ACCA coaching center in Delhi, no not in Delhi only but all over India.
In the end, we hope Vanshika’s story is an inspiring example for you, of how, with the right support and guidance, balancing school and ACCA is possible. edZeb has not only helped her excel academically but has also provided opportunities for holistic growth. We wish Vanshika continued success in her ACCA journey and beyond.
