"I gave up my phone, stayed alone in a flat, and focused solely on studies and mock tests. For five months, I did nothing but revise. Staying consistent and stress-free helped me score better," said Shreyansh, who now plans to pursue an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad. Shreyansh moved to Indore when he was in Class 11. The results, announced on Sunday by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), brought 150 new Chartered Accountants from Indore, with six students securing spots in the All India Top 50 merit list.
Among them is Disha Kaul, who stood second in the city with 420 marks. Daughter of an auto-rickshaw driver, Disha is the first in her modest family to become a CA. "I never even heard of CA until Class 10. A career session in school changed everything. I studied for the foundation exam through YouTube and funded my final coaching with the stipend from my scholarship," she shared proudly. Disha cleared all three levels—Foundation, Intermediate, and Final—in her first attempt.
Disha's parents both studied till Class 8.
CA Anand Jain, Regional Council Member, said, "ICAI's AI chatbot now helps students identify frequently asked questions using past papers, making preparation more focused. Indore's performance stands out in the entire Central Region with six All India ranks this year."
Out of 1,357 candidates, 343 cleared the CA Final exam in Indore—a pass percentage of 16.78%. The Intermediate results were equally encouraging, with five students securing All India ranks.
