FAQ :
Anil Shah felt a mix of disbelief and immense relief. He initially couldn't believe the news, as ICAI rarely releases results early and securing AIR 1 was unexpected. He learned about his rank from a Central Council Member and only truly believed it after checking the results himself.
Anil Shah gives 100% credit to his mother, sister, and brother-in-law. He highlights his mother's role in ensuring he had timely meals for proper study and his sister's constant motivation during setbacks. He considers their behind-the-scenes support crucial to his achievement.
Anil Shah realised that CA Final success requires long-term preparation. He started his CA Final classes shortly after his articleship began, focusing on staying in touch with books for the first two years. In the final six to seven months, he engaged in planned, intensive preparation, studying 10-12 hours daily, which sometimes increased to 15-16 hours during exams.
Anil Shah stayed off social media entirely, using only newspapers and Google News for outside information. He relied on his family for motivation during difficult times, learning to accept setbacks, update his timetable, and learn from mistakes rather than dwelling on them.
The COVID-19 lockdown presented both opportunities and setbacks. It saved him commute time and reduced social distractions, allowing him to focus more on studies. However, the shift to online classes was a setback, as he preferred face-to-face learning, but he adapted by increasing his self-study efforts.
Anil Shah opted for international assurance during his articleship, which gave him exposure to US and international accounting standards alongside Indian ones. He found this experience invaluable, particularly for his elective paper on Global Financial Reporting Standards, and believes practical exposure from articleship is essential for both clearing exams and practical life.
