The School of Management & Commerce (SoMC), Medhavi Skills University, participated in the NISM–SEBI National Financial Literacy Quiz (NFLQ) 2026 – North-Eastern Regional Round, held at Cotton University, Guwahati, on 11–12 September 2026. Organised by the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) as a capacity-building initiative of SEBI, the quiz aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of financial literacy, investment awareness, financial markets and responsible financial decision-making.

Four students represented MSU across the undergraduate and postgraduate categories. BBA Semester III students Purobita Hajong and Ranjit Gurung, representing Team E, successfully qualified from the proctored round to the stage round, securing a place among the top 24 teams from 60 participating colleges. MBA Semester II students Dipti Mondal and Rahul Sharma also participated in the postgraduate category, gaining valuable exposure to the regional-level competition.

The participation provided students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge beyond the classroom while developing teamwork, analytical thinking, problem-solving, time management and quick decision-making skills. The successful performance of the BBA team reflects the students’ preparation and competitive ability, while the overall participation reinforced the importance of financial literacy as an essential life skill and an integral part of students’ academic and professional development.
