Although, this is the first time that SWAHA Hindu College had entered the Students’ Investment Game, and competed against 40 other schools in the country, one of our teams was able to win one of the monthly prizes. This was the monthly prize for November 2010. The team comprising of Reshma Dial, Sasha Dindial, Akheela Guerra and Sashanta Indoi, are now ranked 2nd in the game, amidst other schools such as Queens Royal College and St. Mary’s College. Members of the Marketing Department of Unit Trust Corporation visited SWAHA Hindu College on Tuesday 11th January, 2010 to personally congratulate and distribute prizes to our students. The team is eagerly awaiting the completion of the investment game on January 22nd where they hope to be one of the top four winners of the competition.
The successful students were elated when the representatives from the UTC announced that they are also eligible in attaining training positions in the company for the summer vacation, in an attempt to expose students to an environment which deals with investment on a daily basis.
We wish our students and the other competitors the best of luck!
