Shubham Malhotra from Delhi topped Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) IPCC examination scoring 657 out of 800.
While most students aspire for degrees from top universities and colleges, the 19-year-old topper of CA’s Intermediate (new exams) never even tried to get into a conventional course.
“From my childhood, it was in my mind to become a chartered accountant (CA). So I started preparing for the examinations in addition to my school studies. The determination to become a CA ends with a good performance,” said Malhotra, reported Indian Express.
Currently, Malhotra is pursuing graduation from the School of Open Learning, Delhi University. He prepared for the examinations by studying for 10-12 hours every day and followed the ICAI study materials and guidance from the tutorial.
