Student from Guwahati failed engineering entrance exams twice but cleared CA on the first attempt

• Hi, I am Kamal Mour, a practicing Chartered Accountant based in Guwahati, India.
• Being born in the small town of Rangia which is 50 km from Guwahati (the Capital of Assam), educational facilities were very average.
• I wanted to be an engineer but failed the entrance exams twice.  
• Fast forward, I went on to take the CA route and qualified in 2009 on the first attempt. Here is my journey.

Back Story

I studied in an Army School till grade 5 and post that in a private English medium school till grade 10.

My grades since childhood were always bright, with me topping the class from KG to Class X. Much of it was attributed to my parents who always inspired me to do well in my studies and in life.
