Islam’s comment regarding this exam: “The exam was very difficult. After the covid pandemic, the Pass rate of the exam dropped from 50% to 36%. I believe that due to the strong base I learned from KBTU's subjects such as Corporate Finance, Research Methods in Business, Investments, Investment Banking, Financial Statement analysis, Financial Accounting, Advanced Financial Management, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics. The process of my preparation was easier and I could successfully pass the exam. I want to thank our university for the scholarship. Due to the scholarship, I saved 1200 USD dollars on the exam. Also, I want to thank all of my teachers at KBTU who gave me practical knowledge.”
