Daughter of a textile trader from Surat, 22-year-old Radhika Beriwala topped the Chartered Accountancy finals (new course), results of which were declared by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Thursday.
All for physical classes, Radhika told The Indian Express, “In the offline classes, we can raise our doubts before the coaching faculty members but online classes are marred by connectivity issues. Another major issue is the mobile screen is too small and does not help us concentrate well.”
She recalls how she had a standard practice of calling up her tutor after every online class during the pandemic, to get doubts cleared.
“Weekdays were spent on studying and weekends for revision. I am thankful to my parents, grandparents and my coaching centre. I am the first in my family and relatives to do CA,” said Radhika from Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan, where the family is attending a wedding.
She was among the four from Gujarat who were among the top 50 ranks, of which three are from Ahmedabad.
From Ahmedabad, Saloni Gulechha who is originally from Surat, secured sixth rank while Kamlesh Gupta secured 33 and Bhautikkumar Jakhaniya, originally from Botad district, secured rank 48.
The four students have a common aim — crack the the Common Admission Test (CAT) exams and pursue MBA.
The Beriwala home had another reason to celebrate as Radhika’s younger brother Ansu cleared his CA foundation course, results of which were also announced Thursday.
