CA Darshan Munot (All India 20th rank and first in city): I studied for 8-9 hours daily. I would increase the duration when examination dates are nearer. The goal in life is to be the best at whatever I do with utmost passion and sincerity. My inspiration is my parents. I don't think I have seen anyone work harder than them (CAs) so consistently. They are not only my inspiration but also my motivation. I like to listen to music, play keyboard and play cricket. My father, Atul Munot, is a businessman, while my mother, Nisha Munot, is a housewife. I decided to pursue CA in 2020 after my Class 12th. I decided to pursue this course because it gives a all-around exposure of various fields related to finance, like audit, taxation, accountancy, and core finance as well.

CA Atharva Nadgauda: I spent around 12 hours daily for the final year examination. I wanted to be a successful career in finance and time to devote to my hobbies, interests, family and friends. My hobbies are singing and playing sports. My mother, Archana Nadgauda, is a high school teacher while my father, Milind Nadgauda, is a retired high school teacher. Those who want to prepare for the final year should pay attention to concepts and solve old question papers. My teachers also inspired and guided in study time and again.

CA Shruti Jadhav: During my Articleship, I studied around 4-5 hrs along with lectures and during my study leave. I gradually increased study hours upto 10–12 hours daily. I focused more on discipline and quality. Regular revision and self-assessment to ensure conceptual clarity.

Becoming a CA was my primary goal. Going forward, I want to contribute to the nation through ethical financial practices and responsible decision-making. My biggest inspiration has always been my parents.

Dance is my biggest passion. It always healed me during my break times. Also, I enjoy observing people and understanding behavioural patterns, which enhances my interpersonal skills. I decided to pursue CA in 8th grade after learning about the profession from my father and teachers.
