BBA Thammasat University had once again secured the winning trophy from CFA Institute Research Challenge, Thailand. In fact, this year marked the third consecutive winning year for the BBA Thammasat.  The result was announced on January 14, 2012 after the final presentation at the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
