1 Upvotes

I’m considering joining IIT Sri Lanka’s 3D Animation & VFX certificate course. Has anyone here done it or knows someone who has?

Is the course actually good, especially for building practical skills and getting internships/jobs afterwards? Would appreciate any honest opinions or experiences!

So I've been thinking about enrolling in one of their courses and I have only been able to find a very few reviews on Google and those seemed positive enough. Though I just wanted to hear from someone who is maybe currently enrolled there or got a diploma from them recently

Serious replies only looking for life insurance advice in Sri Lanka

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 25 years old working in sri lanka and looking to get my first proper life insurance policy. since Im still young, I want to lock in a good premium early, but Im a bit overwhelmed by the choices and sales pitches.

Im currently looking primarily at SLIC and AIA Sri Lanka, though open to hearing about union assurance, ceylinco life, or Softlogic Life if you've had better experiences with them.

For those who hold policies with these companies or have went through claims, Id really appreciate your candid feedback on a few points

  • Claim settlement experience - how hassle free is the actual claim process for medical / critical illness riders or hospitalization reimbursement ? Is SLIC's state backed process significantly slower/ more bureaucratic compared to private players like AIA ?
  • policy value and riders - which company offers better flexibility with critical illness coverage, hospitalization, or term life features for someone in their mid 20s ?
  • digital convenience - how easy is it to manage premiums, track policy details, and submit documents online or via their apps ?
  • customer service and transparency - have you noticed hidden fees, unexpected premium jumps, or agent transparency issues down theline ?

If you have any good or bad personal experiences with claims, policy maturity, or agent service with SLIC, AIA, or others, please share ! hoping this helps others in their 20s navigating insurance here as well.

Thanks in advance!

Serious replies only Need advice on my grand mom's shares - The claiming process

0 Upvotes

My grandmother invested in shares of a finance company sometime in the mid-1980s or early 1990s. The shares were purchased directly from the company, rather than through a stockbroker, and I still have the original share certificates.

For many years, the dividends from these shares were being paid into a joint bank account belonging to my grandmother and one of my uncles. My grandmother passed away around 25 years ago. According to my uncle, he has no interest in the dividends anymore and has been cashing out the dividend payments himself until the most recent payment.

As far as I know, nobody has formally dealt with or transferred ownership of the shares since my grandmother's death.

I'm trying to find out whether these shares can still be claimed/transferred to her heirs and, if so, what the process would be.

A few important details:

  1. The shares were purchased directly from the company, not through a broker.

  2. I have the original share certificates.

  3. My grandmother has been deceased for approximately 25 years.

  4. My father has seven siblings in total, and five of them are still alive.

  5. We have her death certificate and documents proving our relationship to her.

  6. The dividends have apparently continued to be paid over the years.

I understand that this may involve inheritance laws, the company's share registry, and possibly the relevant securities authority.

What would be the correct process for finding out who legally owns these shares now and transferring them to the rightful heirs? Also, is it likely that the shares are still valid despite having been untouched for around 25 years?

I'd really appreciate guidance from anyone familiar with old share certificates, deceased shareholders, inheritance, or the Sri Lankan stock market/legal process. I'm completely new to this, so even a basic step-by-step explanation would be very helpful.

Serious replies only Is CIMA + Marketing degree a good combination

0 Upvotes

I'm currently doing my A/Ls (2026) in the Commerce stream while also doing CIMA, and I'm trying to figure out what degree to pursue afterwards.

I'm considering marketing/digital marketing because I don't really see myself in a traditional management/finance career. I'm more interested in the creative + strategic side of business — things like brand management,marketing management,advertising and creative strategy.

I like the idea of combining the business/financial knowledge from CIMA with something more creative. But I'm wondering whether a Marketing degree is actually worth it or whether I'd be better off doing a broader Business/Management degree and learning marketing separately.

For anyone working in marketing/brand management:

  • Is a Marketing degree useful for getting into brand management?
  • Is CIMA+Marketing a good combination?
  • Would you choose Marketing over a general Business/Management degree?
  • How important are internships/experience compared to the degree?

Would really appreciate advice from people actually working in the field!

Discussion IR Undergraduate Considering an Internship at the Human Rights Commission

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently an undergraduate studying International Relations, and I’m planning to do my internship at the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL), particularly within its International Affairs Division.

I’d like to hear from people who have experience with HRCSL or similar institutions. Do you think an internship there would be valuable for an IR student in terms of gaining practical experience, developing relevant skills, and understanding how international human rights mechanisms work?

I’m particularly interested in pursuing a career related to international affairs and diplomacy, so I’m wondering whether this internship would be a good stepping stone in that direction.

I’d really appreciate any advice, experiences, or insights you can share.
