In this race of marks and examination, the preparation for future ready skills remain untouched and suddenly when they go for higher education and enter the corporate world, most find it difficult, especially to manage their personal finances. I strongly believe that a student should be proficient to manage their personal funds and learn basics of business-oriented communications before they enter the professional world.
