Kushagra Roy, a young mind from Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, has secured the All India Rank (AIR) 1 in the CA Intermediate examination. With an impressive score of 538 out of 600 marks, equivalent to 89.67%, Roy has proven his hard work.
"I knew from class 11 that I wanted to pursue commerce and never considered Science as an option," Roy shared with the Free Press Journal.
His father, a semi-qualified chartered accountant and single parent, has been his only support and guide in life. "When the results were announced, my father was travelling, but he was overjoyed when he heard the news," Roy said with a smile.
Roy's study routine was rigorous, with 12-13 hours of dedicated study time each day. He credits his coaching classes from Physicswallah for his success. "Coaching is essential for intermediate levels, and I suggest it to everyone," he said.
To take breaks and refresh his mind, Roy turned to cricket, his favourite sport. "Playing cricket helped me clear my mind and come back to my studies with renewed energy," he added.
