adminNot every success story begins in elite schools or metropolitan cities.
Some rise from the most humble beginnings — powered by determination, hard work, and the right mentorship.
This is the remarkable journey of Surinderpal Singh, an Akal University alumnus who went from a small farming village in Punjab to becoming an Economic Analyst in Halifax, Canada.
A Turning Point — Finding the Right University
After completing his schooling from Vidya Bharti and a Government School, Surinder searched for a university that aligned with his academic goals and vision for higher education abroad.
He chose Akal University, Talwandi Sabo, for two life-changing reasons:
- A peaceful campus that encourages academic focus
- A robust B.A. (Hons.) Economics program designed for strong global opportunities
From that point onward, his transformation began:
- Scored 80% in his first year
- Earned the prestigious Akal University Merit Scholarship
- Received constant guidance and mentoring from faculty
- Developed confidence and a clear roadmap for international studies
From Talwandi Sabo to Halifax — A Fast-Track Global Leap
Because of the strong academic foundation he received at Akal University, Surinder’s Master’s program in Canada was reduced to just 1 year instead of the typical 18–24 months — saving both time and financial investment.
He successfully completed his Master of Applied Economics from Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, along with a $5,000 international scholarship.
Today, he is working as an Economic Analyst at ASBB Economics and Research, Halifax, Canada — a living example of how far dedication and the right support system can take a student.
Why Surinder’s Journey Matters
His success proves a powerful truth to students everywhere:
You don’t need privilege to build a global career.
You need:
- A focused mindset
- Supportive mentorship
- A university that believes in your potential
- Surinder found all three at Akal University.
His rise from rural Punjab to the global industry stands as a beacon of hope for thousands of ambitious learners — especially those who dream beyond their circumstances.
