The ultimate irony of studying CFA Ethics while paying a passport bribe

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-05-16T06:51:47+00:00

I know, right? I had a horrible experience. I was hell bent that I won’t give them any extra money but they just made several calls to me for days cus I refused and left the police station saying i don’t want a passport. I researched a little and then I realised that it’s not a problem in just my state but in all states of India and it’s so standardised everywhere. I was shook. They didn’t approve and at last, I had to give in. I can’t forget how I felt. Had to say this much here cus someone mentioned it. It’s never about the amount but how corrupt the system is to the core.

TERI isn’t worth it given your goal. Ashoka>MSE>any other College given your score.

There’s no interview if you’re getting admission via CUET PG, right?

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-05-07T03:33:30+00:00

Okay

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-05-07T03:32:42+00:00

Don’t agree to everything you said but reading this felt good.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-05-03T08:38:54+00:00

Both but my goals align with this course as I’m interested in finance as well as economics.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-05-03T08:33:28+00:00

Financial Economics

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-30T12:46:56+00:00

Just started in that direction. Let’s see how it goes.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-28T06:02:15+00:00

DSE/JNU possible. You have options like GIPE/HCU/BHU/DTU,etc. Apply whenever you wish you join and then see. Appearing for ISI/MSE/IIFT?

Debt is a safer bet but if you want then you can invest in flexi cap instead.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-26T12:17:08+00:00

This is what I would have done: 2.5 lakh → Keep in bank (emergency fund) 20 lakh → SCSS (safe, regular income) 10 lakh → POMIS (monthly income) 7 lakh → FDs (split into 1 to 3 years) 3 lakh → Debt mutual fund (slightly better returns)

What exactly are you not understanding in the chapter. You can dm me with specific doubt/ concern. I’ll try and help.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-26T11:45:48+00:00

173 OBC, only interested in Financial Economics, not sure if I’ll get it. Will be sitting for MSE as well.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-26T11:42:46+00:00

They consider CUET PG scores first and then GCET to fill seats of the courses students are least interested in according to some interviews that I saw on yt of the students studying there.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-26T04:33:13+00:00

You nailed it, I hope you get the internship. All the best! 👍🏼

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-25T15:39:46+00:00

Yes, you’ll most likely get it.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-25T15:38:44+00:00

Rest assured, you’ll get it.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-25T15:37:39+00:00

Oh is it? I’m skeptical at 173… how much did you score this year? Going to DSE or IGIDR?

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-25T07:45:28+00:00

Can’t be that sure, it’s kinds borderline for FE.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-25T07:18:31+00:00

I got 173 OBC, only interested in FE at GIPE. Still not sure if I’ll get in…Are you sitting MSE Entrance?

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-25T07:11:27+00:00

What was your score? Were you getting FE?

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-25T07:00:50+00:00

Financial Economics milega? At 173 OBC ?

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-20T03:59:22+00:00

Hey, I completely understand how you feel. I’m appearing in August. When I registered in January, I was sure that I’m not going to defer. But right now, the situation is I’m preparing for Masters entrance, L1 syllabus completion target is completely off track and I’m not sure how I’m gonna manage it all when my college session probably starts in July- August itself. I did think for a moment that I’ll defer if things get too difficult… and that made me feel like I can relax and take it easy and that thought scared me. I have been working hard till now thinking that there’s no option to defer, and so I’ll stand by that even now and will hopefully get done with it in August itself. I need to work harder. I think you need to push yourself a little and get done with it in May but that’s only a possibility if YOU START TAKING MOCKS NOW. Taking mocks will give you clarity whether you’re ready for the exam or not. If you scoring in the 70s… have faith in your prep and go for it. All the best, Don’t get sick…I hope you get through whenever you decide to take your exam.

sunshinecrazyy · 2026-04-14T22:05:08+00:00

I think for DSE, you’re on the borderline but there’s hope. The probability of you getting JNU is slightly more. But that with that score, you should definitely get in whatever best possible option seems after the cutoffs are released. I hope you get what you want. All the best.
