A dream doesn’t become a reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination & hard work.
This is a story of the hard work of Rasleen Kaur, alumni of Akal Academy and Akal University.
Rasleen Kaur, who studied at Akal Academy Bhai Desa and Akal Academy Baru Sahib and graduated from Akal University, is all set to pursue her further studies in USA, where she has received a scholarship.
Starting from a humble background
Rasleen is the daughter of Farmer Mewa Singh Ji; her mother, Kuldeep Kaur, is a homemaker.
She has a brother, Nobeljeet Singh, who also studied at Akal Academy.
Rasleen was schooled at Akal Academy, Bhai Desa. She was always determined and wanted to achieve high and make her parents proud.
She scored 82% in Grade 10th and 74.5% in Grade 12th. She was also the Top Scorer on the Akal Management Test, an entrance test to the MBA at Akal University, and scored 95% in MBA.
Pursuing MBA at Akal University
After schooling at Akal Academy, she went to Akal University and did B.Com ( Hons.). Here the environment was very good, peaceful, and safe, which helped her to grow and develop. After completing her graduation, she wanted to pursue an MBA.
She checked out many universities, However, the other universities only offered specializations in Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources, and the fees were also relatively high. On the other hand, Akal University offers an MBA specializing in Business Analytics, which is in very high demand and not readily available; the fees are also low as compared to other universities.
The curriculum of the MBA at Akal University is goal-oriented, and it prepares students with essential skills to make them future-ready. Students work on real live projects through which they get valuable experience and insights into working with communities.
The curriculum of MBA in Business Analytics at Akal University has specially been designed by an eminent personality Dr. Gurpreet Dhillon, who is a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and is currently the G. Brint Ryan Endowed Chair of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity and also Honorary Dean and Founder of Akal Business School
The program has greatly helped Rasleen grow personally and professionally.
Stepping out into real-world Experience
During her MBA, she was also awarded 2 internships. The first one was at the IIVP London for 9 months, where she made around 150 presentations. Her second internship was at Grand Thornton Delhi, the seventh-largest company in the world, where she performed very actively and was appreciated by the seniors.
Nurturing Confidence: Impact of Akal Academy and Akal University on Rasleen’s Life
Rasleen shares her experience at Akal University, which she remarks as Outstanding.
The day started there with mediation. Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji loved the children a lot and used to take out time to meet and spend time with the students. She became punctual and gained confidence as she participated in extracurricular activities.
Most of her cousins studied at Akal Academy, and only a few studied at Convent Schools. She always felt that the communication skills and confidence of the students of Akal Academy are better than others, which reflects in their personality and gives them better opportunities in life.
Education is provided at 129 Akal Academies and 2 Universities running under the auspices of The Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib is a blend of modern scientific education and spiritual education essential to create good human beings and make the world a better place.
Mentor Support and Role in Her Success
The faculty members at both School and University institutions played a vital role in her success as they are not only highly skilled but also very supportive, hard-working, and always ready to help the students by solving their queries.
She feels grateful to Parimder Singh Ji, H.O.D. of the Department of Commerce, who supported her;
Amanjeet Singh Bhandari, who guided her in pursuing an MBA in Business Analytics;
Dr. Gurpreet Dhillon, Honorary Dean and Founder of Akal Business School, Akal University who drove her to pursue Master’s in the USA;
and Prof. Somedra Pant, Director of Akal Business School, who always supports the students emotionally and motivates the students to study.
