Every program has its challenges. B.Voc is no exception. But most mistakes are avoidable if you know what to watch for.
1. Ignoring Software Training
Many students treat Tally or Zoho as “optional.” Big mistake. Employers care more about your tool skills than your grades.
2. Not Taking Internships Seriously
Doing the bare minimum won’t cut it. Go beyond—ask for more tasks, offer suggestions, take notes.
3. Skipping Soft Skills Development
Finance isn't just numbers. Practice writing, speaking, and presenting—these are often tested in interviews.
4. Avoiding Certifications
Short-term courses in GST, Income Tax Filing, and Excel modeling are inexpensive and hugely valuable.
5. No Online Presence
A simple LinkedIn profile showcasing your skills, certifications, and projects can be the difference between getting shortlisted or ignored.
How to Get Back on Track
Set small goals for each semester: 1 project, 1 internship, 1 certification.
Join finance groups or forums to stay updated.
Seek feedback from mentors and improve continuously.
Avoiding these traps will not only save you time but also set you on a much more confident career path.
