Meet Kanishkaa Balakrishnan, an exceptional 18-year-old student currently pursuing her A/Levels at Ladies College Colombo 7. In May 2013, she achieved the remarkable feat of ranking No. 1 in Sri Lanka and 19th in the world for the Performance Management (P2) subject in the CIMA Exams.
Kanishkaa embarked on her CIMA journey while studying for her O/Levels at Hindu Ladies College, Bambalapitiya. Her ambition is to complete the CIMA qualification while simultaneously tackling her A/Levels in 2014.
Mercury CIMA Plus, renowned for its commitment to excellence in CIMA education, recognized Kanishkaa's exceptional talent and awarded her a scholarship. She now has the opportunity to pursue any of the prestigious international courses offered at Mercury, including ACCA, University of London Degrees, and CFA programs.
Choosing Mercury as her CIMA tuition provider has become a unanimous choice among discerning parents and students seeking the highest standards in CIMA education. Mercury's personalized one-to-one coaching methods, led by the country's most recognized professional lecturers, have been the cornerstone of success for many of its students.
Mercury's unique approach encourages students to aim for first-time passes at every level, allowing them to complete the CIMA qualification in just two and a half years or even less, giving them a significant head start in their careers. Notably, Mercury CIMA Plus has introduced a "Fast Track" program, enabling students to complete Level 1 in just three months instead of the usual six-month duration.
The journey begins with Level 1 of CIMA, the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting, commencing in September after the A/Level examinations. Students can enroll with pending results, regardless of their A/Level field of study—be it Commerce, Arts, Maths, or Biology.
Full-time weekday classes begin on September 3rd, with Mercury's 3-month Fast Track program allowing successful students to move on to Level 2 by January 2014. For those with other commitments, part-time weekend classes commence on September 7th, providing flexibility for working students or those pursuing additional courses alongside CIMA. Mercury CIMA Plus also offers scholarships to high-achieving students, including A/L and O/L scholars and awardees.
Kanishkaa Balakrishnan attributes her success to Mercury Institute of Management, saying, "One of the wisest decisions I've made so far in my life is selecting Mercury Institute of Management to pursue my CIMA qualification. I enjoyed each and every lecture at Mercury from the day I joined the foundation level. Thanks to Mercury, I was able to excel in every examination comfortably, and today I am grateful to Mercury for their guidance in achieving the Sri Lankan prize and the world ranking. Experienced lecturers, small class sizes, and a friendly environment are the standout features that set Mercury apart from the others."
