Hardwani tops CA Final from city
Hardwani took a six-month leave from work to prepare for the examination.
"Every week, I took a day off just to dance, catch up with my friends, or unwind. It kept me mentally aligned," said Hardwani.
As per the list provided by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Prabhav Mude is the second topper in CA Final from Nagpur with a score of 433. Aayush Bansod, on third place with 424 marks in CA Final, opted for only self-study. "I didn't enrol in any coaching class. What helped me was discipline and breaks that included music and podcasts, even ones unrelated to academics," he said.
According to ICAI, 196 out of 995 candidates from the city cleared the Foundation level, a result that educators say reflects a healthy mix of discipline, innovation, and good support systems.
Ishant Vikram Tejwani is top scorer in the Foundation Exam from Nagpur with a score of 328 marks. He said, "I focused on understanding rather than memorising," he said. Tejwani dedicated 7–8 hours daily to study, structuring his routine around concept clarity and mock revisions.
Kartik Gokhale and Piyush Lakhani, who ranked second and third with a score of 326 and 325, respectively, cleared the exam in their first attempt. Their formula: a mix of coaching guidance and disciplined self-study, backed by emotional reinforcement from families and mentors. "It's more than just an exam result. It feels like the start of something significant," said Gokhale.
