== MAYANK KOTHARI == Chartered Accountant by profession A really inspiring person to meet for. ==== Born on 17th June 1990, at Kishangarh, a place near Ajmer (Rajasthan). His dad went to Maharashtra right after Mayank was born and started business at a small village named Mukutban in yeotmal District. ====

Mayank did his schooling there for first three years and then his family shifted to neary place called Wani, and then Till twelfth Mayank was there and cleared his HSC in 2007 Very Interesting,Crazyy guy by nature he loved to play cricket and was almost ready to give everything for that even the education after 12th.

But his father did not agree on that and then Mayank has to give up his dream of becoming of Cricketer.

After 12th most of the friends in class went for engineering and few other to become doctor. When asked to Mayank ,why he did not go for any of them he told that he wanted to do something different and thats why was just sitting for three months after passing 12th at home doing nothing.

One day he got to know about CA from his cousin sister Ranu Surana living at Nagpur His sister told him that she is going to Join CA as her elder brother was also doing CA at that time, named Ravi Surana.

Mayank asked her about CA, and then she replied with some salient and interesting features of pursuing CA in career. CA as the Reputed subject, CA are respected throughout the world, Very hard to clear exams and those are very tough and passing percentage caps at abt 7% max, CA as a career in business and finance world,

Mayank found this really interesting and finally he decided to do CA, For that purpose he went to Nagpur City, Vice Capital of Maharashtra, India and which is around 3hrs of distance from Wani, where Mayank used to stay.

Mayank stayed the first month June 2007 at her aunts home, and he used to go to classes with his sister Ranu for CPT, entrance exam of CA at CAPS Education Nagpur. then after a month he shifted to Jain hostel in Nagpur nearby CAPS Classes.

Mayank did study well but still did not manage to clear the entrance exam and failed in Nov 2007 CPT attempt scoring only 90 out of 200, Passing requirement of ICAI was 50%

It was quite disappointing for him but still he managed easily to get through this and started preparing for the next attempt Feb 2008.

He studied well this time also with some improvements over the mistakes of last attempt. But this time also something left him behind and he again failed with 95 Marks just 5 marks less to clear that exam.

It was so harsh for him that once he decided that its enough and he is not going to continue it further and will go back to Wani leaving all behind,

Still somehow people around him cajoled him and he started studying for June 2008attempt

This time he made it final. He left Cricket from his life, He left watching TV, He left going for hangouts,

He researched on why he is not getting the course in his mind and he found that biggest mistake he was doing till now from the beginning and that was Mugging up instead of Understanding the concepts and logic behind the text in the books. He changed his way, started studying well by understanding each concepts. studied hours for CPT and finally cleared CPT with classic 136 Marks.

and the new journey started here, He joined for his practical training at K.K.Mankeshwar & Co. Chartered Accountants, Nagpur, the oldest firm of Nagpur established on 1933. This is even before the Chartered Accountants Act came.

when asked about PCC, he said that because of the experiences at CPT level he was afraid of failing PCC too, and thats why this fear lead him to start studies from the beginning itself. Though due to time constraints and work at office he end up most of the time with breaking up the link for studies .,

Still he said that he studied till 3 months of leave before the exam as much as possible and the crux studies was done in those 3 months living up the dream of Clearing PCC in first attempt and to be on the top amongst all in his office.

Those three months was really hard for him and he studied almost 10 -12 hours daily. Finally gave the exams and cleared the PCC conducted by ICAI in May 2010 with 321 Marks with 64highest in Accounts paper.

Now it came for the toughest part of his life- CA Final and Senior at Office CA Final is 3-4 times harder than PCC and he knew that from the very begining, he thanked this to his Hostel where he saw his senior struggling for CA Final.

Also, as he became the senior at office he got many responsibilites and extra work too. so thats why Mayank Planned in such a way that he will manage and will be best at both CA Final Exams and also fulfilling his responsibilities at office.

Even before the results of PCC, Mayank had bought the S D Bala text book of MAFA subject and started studying it.

Right from then he said that he studied every day dosent matter time of study was 5 minutes or 5 hrs. he made sure that he has to study every day. Enough if studying atleast 203 lines a day.

He continued with this strategy till and before the three months of exams leaves. and Finally got leaves for exams from Feb 2012 to Apr 2012. he planned this 3 months in such a way that it was thrice harder than what he planned for PCC and too it was little bit of impossible kind of thing to achieve for. and Also he planned that he has to study atleast 1000 hours in these three months, resulting into 333 hrs in a day and approx 10 hrs a day.

He made sure that he completes his revision at least 2-3 times, he studied on an avg. of 12.5 hrs a day, he did not went outside of his house for almost 1.5 months, He went oustide only for 2-3 times in this three months, Left with Chatting, Internet, Calling, hangouts, Movies and everything else, he just wanted to be

Focused,

Dedicated,

Motivated,

because he had set the dream of CA Final clearing in first attempt and that too with Good Rank He lived this dream everyday. Motivated by many people specially inteview of Pawan Sarda, 2nd Ranker in CA Final, Nov 2011 and also he thanks for the support given by his friends specially and most imp. Garvita Agrawal, one of his office friend and the best one too , Mayank Said

Finally gave the May 2012 CA Final exam and Just then waiting for July 15-20 to come when the results were supposed to be announced.

Finally around 11th of July date came that results of CA Final May 2012 conducted by ICAI will be announced on 18th of July.

Mayank told that he was so happy that he got to knew that 18th will be the biggest day of his life ., Lots of hard work going to result that day.,

Some days later notification came and results got postponed on 19th of July For him, it was ok

Finally came the 19th of July 2012 Results were supposed to be declared by the evening. and as Mayank told that his hearbits started beating very fast so by the afternoon around 1 PM he dediced that he will go to sleep for some time and will wake up before the results.

Around 1-30 PM many of his friends started calling him, he woke up immediately and so lots of missed calls. He understood that results were declared.

He put the cell on bed, started computer, connected with Internet and log in on ICAI results site.

This was the time his mom was sleeping in her room, dad was working at the shop, brother was in the college, friends kept on calling continuously,...and Mayank was Excited, Afraid, With increased heartbeats...

He entered the roll no. and verification code and pressed the submit button.
