How I ventured into the CA journey

Although it was my childhood dream to become a CA, after the 12^th grade, I actually wanted to get into Delhi University instead of pursuing CA. However, unfortunately, that didn’t exactly happen. That’s when I decided that I would appear for the CPT exam.

I hadn’t prepared much for the exam and only studied for a day or two but surprisingly I passed the exam on the first attempt with about 60%! This was so unexpected that it again motivated me to pursue my dream.

So, I consider the CA journey as something which was chosen by destiny.
