This Year, after the CA Results were out today, Shahdab Hussain, a 23-year-old student, son of a tailor of Kota, Rajasthan, has turned out be the CA Topper for the Chartered Accountancy Exams conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountancy of India in November and December in 2018. Hussain has scored 597 out of 800 with a 74.63 percent marks.

Hussain holds a B.Com Degree from Kota University. His Father is a 10th passed man and his mother is a school drop out, also he is the only brother among his four sisters. His Father, being a tailor, managed to provide him with the best schooling possible to his reach.

“I studied day-and-night to earn a job so that my parents do not have to bother about their old age. I thought of Chartered Accountancy (CA) to be a niche profession where one can learn throughout their life. After due consideration and research I set my mind to become a CA,” Hussain told.

He reported 14-15 hours of studying every day for self-studying and expected himself to be the topper. “This is the biggest achievement in my family. I was expecting a good rank since I was also among top scorers in the Integrated Professional Competence Course (IPCC) exam,” he said.

“I used to take a break of 30-40 minutes after three hours of study. I also made sure to walk two-three kilometers every day. It de-stressed me,” he said. “As the exams approached, I reduced the hours devoted to study in order to keep my mind alert,” he added.

Talking about his exam strategy, he said, “I read the paper and find out three-four questions which can help me attain 40 marks and tried solving them in an hour. Thus, I spent the rest two hours scoring more marks and helped me increase my total score, it gave me an edge over others.”

Advising other fellow students, he said “I advise everyone to have at least half-an-hour of me-time. During this, one can think about the day spent in retrospect. It would also help one manage time better during the day and gives the sense of pride and at the same time act as a quick revision.”

His Hobbies include playing badminton and cricket and found audit to be the easiest and interesting subject. He is yet to decide which path to choose.
