Why I Chose ASBS – A Journey from Attendee to Intern
Sometimes, the right journey begins when you’re simply looking for direction.
My story with Akademia School of Business Studies (ASBS) started at a career guidance program. I attended it with curiosity, hoping to gain some clarity about my future. I expected general advice about courses and degrees. Instead, I walked into a session that spoke about industry expectations, skill development, confidence, and long-term growth.
That day, something felt different. The focus was not just on academics, but on who we could become.
What stood out to me was the clarity and honesty with which opportunities were explained. It wasn’t about “just getting admission.” It was about being prepared — prepared for interviews, internships, corporate culture, and leadership roles. That first impression stayed with me.
Over time, I began working at ASBS as an intern, and that’s when I truly understood the depth of its vision.
From the inside, ASBS is not just an academic institution — it is a structured and inclusive environment where growth is intentional. I observed how much importance is given to personal attention. Professors ensure that concepts are clearly understood rather than rushed. The focus is on strengthening foundations because strong basics build strong professionals.
The curriculum is aligned with industry requirements. Discussions, activities, and projects are designed to reflect real corporate scenarios. Exposure to Mumbai industries, practical case studies, and continuous career guidance programs show that the goal is not just education — it is employability and confidence.
Working here allowed me to witness how internship opportunities and placement support are carefully structured. Students are guided step-by-step, from skill development to professional readiness. It is not chaotic; it is organized and purposeful.
On a personal level, this internship has contributed immensely to my own development. My communication skills have improved through coordination, interaction, and professional engagement. I learned how to handle responsibilities with accountability and think from a managerial perspective.
One of the most meaningful changes has been in my creativity and writing skills. Being involved in documentation, content-related tasks, and institutional communication helped me refine how I express ideas. I learned to write with clarity, structure, and confidence. Creativity here is not restricted — it is encouraged.
The work culture is professional yet supportive. Faculty members are approachable, leadership is encouraging, and there is a collaborative spirit in everyday functioning. Even policies like flexibility in fee structures reflect an understanding approach toward students’ realities.
Looking back, what began as attending a career guidance program turned into an experience that shaped my professional growth. The journey has strengthened my confidence, enhanced my communication, and polished my creative abilities.
ASBS is not just a place of learning — it is a place where potential is nurtured, skills are refined, and growth is visible. Being associated with it as an intern has been a journey of continuous learning and meaningful development.
