Unique Sharma

NBS has helped me grow beyond the boundaries of my commerce background. The mentorship, projects, and constant encouragement from the placement team was good and I transformed my passion for data into a career at L&T. My advice to future NBSians – stay consistent and make the most of every opportunity NBS offers.

Batch 2023-25

Rajshree Patel

I got placed as a Data Analyst at S&P Global. With strong faculty support, I overcame interview challenges confidently. The summer internship parked a passion for finance. I Also run a bakery startup, and I would say “Never forget your passion – it builds valuable skills”.

Batch 2023-25

Khushi Shah

Without the constant support and guidance of placement cell and the faculties of NBS, I would not have been able to crack the 5-step interview process of Zomato. I am grateful to NBS for their mentorship.

Batch 2023-25

Muskan Rathee

NBS got me the best summer internship which was later converted into a full-time role. I now work as a business analyst India’s Top Print Media Company i.e., Divya Bhaskar. Forever grateful to my faculties.

Batch 2022-24

Yash Surana

I’m thankful for the two years I spent at NBS. It all started during my internship at ITC Limited. The lessons I learned were valuable. Today, as a Data Analyst at S&P Global, I get to apply those skills every day.

Batch 2022-24

Dushyant Singh

I’m grateful that my time at NBS Ahmedabad had already equipped me with the skills and mindset to tackle these challenges. I still miss my time at NBS.

Batch 2022-24

Sikha Singh Chauhan

I grew up in a traditional family in Rajasthan, where the expectations were narrow. When I first joined NBS, I was like, “Whoa, there’s a whole world out there beyond what I’ve always known!” Meeting mentors, talking to industry people, and just being around others was so good. Today, I’m loving every moment of my career in marketing.

Batch 2023-25

Ali Akbar

The targeted placement mapping of NBS is what I benefitted the most from. I always have had a keen interest in finance and NBS played a key role in getting me my dream placement. Now I am a senior analyst at PwC.
