Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Ishaan Mukesh Mangal has topped the CA Intermediate Examination from the Bhopal centre with AIR 15. He scored 79.33% marks in the exam.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) released the results for the examination on Wednesday. Ishaan told Free Press that he was expecting a good rank but never expected AIR 15.
He said that consistency is his success mantra and he did a target-based study, devoting around 10 hours every day to studies. He mostly focused on multiple revisions after completing classes.
“I had made a clear plan for my preparation after the Foundation results. I divided the time of around 9 months into phases. In the first four months, I completed all the subjects and taxation of Group-2.
After this, the revision started with the preparation of Group-1 subjects. In the last two and a half months, I focused only on revision,” he said.
Besides, Manya Goswami (64.50%) secured the second position in Bhopal, while Mohit Kachhwani (62.83%) and Nandini Gupta (62.83%) jointly got the third position.
Saksham Agrawal (58.67%) stood fourth. Successful students will now prepare for the CA Final examination and simultaneously begin their two-year articleship.
Bhopal results surpass national average
At the Bhopal centre, 379 students appeared for Group I, with 32 passing (8.44%). In Group II, 42 out of 217 students passed (19.35%), a figure that exceeds the national average (16.11%), stated Aditya P Srivastava, chairman, ICAI Bhopal branch.
“Out of the 215 students who appeared for both groups, 13 cleared both groups simultaneously. I wish the successful students a bright future and encourage those who did not pass to continue their efforts and move forward with determination,” said Srivastava.
