<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Inspiring Story of Nishtha Bothra</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-43dd6d7736db7005c3cf3c2a444f36e2" style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>AIR 2 CA Final May 2025 TOPPER INTERVIEW</strong></h2>



<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aec6bb3861c2d879195aeccc87324f6c wp-block-paragraph" style="color:#f10ecf"><strong>Congratulations on securing All India Rank 2 in the CA Final May 2025 exams! Could you tell us about your educational journey so far and the factors that shaped your decision to pursue Chartered Accountancy?</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">I did my schooling in Guwahati and later pursued B. Com (H) from St. Xavierโs College, Kolkata, graduating with a GPA of 8.35. I began my CA journey in 2020, scoring 80.75% in Foundation, AIR 2 in Intermediate with 82.25%, and AIR 2 again in Final with 83.83%. CA was always close to my heart as many in my family, including my father, pursued it but could not complete. Losing him young made me determined to fulfil his dream of becoming a Chartered Accountant.</p>



<p class="has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-86345bf00db3c108d41ea1279f5ac6da wp-block-paragraph" style="color:#f910f6"><strong>How did you design your preparation strategyโdid you rely on long-term planning, short-term milestones, or a mix of both?</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">Iโve always believed in consistent study rather than slogging at the end. From May 2024, I gave 2 hours daily to one subject, aiming to finish 3 subjects before study leave. During leave, I studied audit for 3โ4 hours along with another subject, completing first revisions in 10โ12 days. Each day I set clear targetsโ whether chapters or questionsโfocusing on weaknesses while strengthening subjects I was confident in.</p>



<p class="has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-34a607cd1096be3fab97e06d72cff3eb wp-block-paragraph" style="color:#ea16e0"><strong>How useful were ICAIโs Study Material, RTPs, MTPs, and past papers in strengthening your exam readiness?</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">I followed the ICAI material like a bible. It is exhaustive and, for subjects like IDT, the summaries at the end of each chapter made revision much easier. RTPs, MTPs, and PYQs were an integral part of my preparationโI used them after each chapter to test my understanding and exposure to different questions. They also gave me a clear idea of exam trends and the presentation expected.</p>



<p class="has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7185ef31f6b07eb732602a4514bdb5bc wp-block-paragraph" style="color:#f006dd"><strong>CA Final requires balancing multiple subjects. How did you prioritize your studies, manage time effectively, and approach time management during exams?</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">For a CA Final student, balancing articleship with studies is crucial. I focused on prioritiesโavoiding social media for a year to dedicate time only to studies or activities that improved productivity. I even used travel time for revision lectures or reading. I solved three mock tests to simulate exam conditions and built strategies for reading time, tackling difficult or lengthy papers, and staying calm.</p>



<p class="has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aa4d38f25d84a0c57a1318c41b254f6a wp-block-paragraph" style="color:#fa0bf8"><strong>What techniques did you personally adopt to keep your concentration intact and maintain a calm mindset during preparation and exams?</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">I meditated daily for 15โ20 minutes to stay calm and focused. Pressure and negativity are natural in the CA journey, but patience and consistency are key. Meditation reminded me that every aspirant faces such challenges. Whenever I found chapters too difficult, I took short breaksโtalking to family, peers, or listening to musicโand then shifted to topics I was confident about. This restored positivity, helping me revisit tough concepts with a fresh mind.</p>



<p class="has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-65f6acc01ca46bce881f377ed2c08dd0 wp-block-paragraph" style="color:#f80ded"><strong>What advice would you like to share with students preparing for their examsโany study habits, routines, or guiding principles that proved to be game-changers in your journey?</strong></p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph">The CA journey is about consistency, positivity, and hard workโ there are no shortcuts. Give your 100% so you never regret results. Surround yourself with people who bring out your best. Identify weaknesses, work on them, and balance time across subjects. Attempt mock tests and maintain a mistake sheet for tricky points. Lastly, practice meditation or calming activities to stay focused, productive, and composed throughout your preparation.โ</p>
