It seems a different world now, I never expected a rank before and when the hard work is paid off well it feels good.

I called my home and told my parents and they are so proud of me.

It is very important part of the whole CA course, good marks at this stage than you get good companies for training, and articleship. This is a very important stage for a CA career.

No I wasn’t expecting a rank. I was expecting around 65-70 percent in this examination but never thought of a rank.

My roommate Rahul Jain, he also got all India 11th rank. He was a constant guiding force for me; we studied together that was the main secret. We both were inspiring each other. Main core to the success was my roommate without him it wouldn’t have been possible. My teachers always motivated me.

When I was down he helped me and when he was down I helped him.

Tuitions were over 1 month prior to the exam. So till the tuition it was very much fluctuating, we studied according to the coaching timings. But in the last 1 month it was around 10-11 hrs a day, mainly we tried studying at night or morning, we did not follow a fixed schedule. We tried doing everything. Firstly tried studying late night and then tried in the morning and it depends upon person to person.

Staying away from home without any facility is the main challenge and at the motivational level my roommate was there so everything went off well.

One should have faith in teacher, whatever you study should be revised again. One shouldn’t go for more and more books for the same subject or studying from here and there. Instead of studying 3 different books for the same subject one should study same book 3 times, it makes learning easier and in the last 1 month they should study what they have studied, should not try anything new.

Everyone says that CA is tough but in reality it isn’t its more about understanding. If you understand it then there is nothing that can stop you, there is nothing hard for you, its very much like other courses. They should prefer giving both the groups because it helps a lot in building confidence.

I like reading and in sports I like playing volleyball, table tennis and all. Also I like to hang out with friends.

Result day was a celebration and the very next day I came home, I am still here. Tomorrow will be reaching Delhi and there again we will have a party.

I am honoured!
