Akanksha Jha secured AIR 6 in CS Executive June 2026 with 410 marks, clearing both groups and earning exemptions in five subjects. The result came as a surprise to her, especially because she had been unsure about passing after the Tax examination.
Her preparation focused on a simple but consistent approach. She revised topics alongside her classes, marked multiple rounds of revision in her books, practised answers regularly and relied on the ICSI module for subjects such as Tax.
Akanksha did not wait for the entire syllabus to be completed before beginning revision. As she studied new topics, she continued revising what had already been covered.
She marked her first and second revisions directly in her book and continued adding further rounds as she progressed. By the time of the examination, she had completed around three to four revisions. This approach also helped her manage a syllabus that was completed later than she had initially expected.
Some subjects required more effort for Akanksha, particularly ECIPL and parts of FM. She used the guidance and classes from PW faculty to strengthen these areas.
She mentioned Mehndi Ma’am’s charts for FBI and Labour Law, which she incorporated directly into her study material. For FM, she also found Devashish Sir’s problem-solving sessions useful for improving her speed.
“Sir easy mujhe CAFM mein CA lagta tha, kyunki wo pehle se accounts jo tha wo thoda strong tha mera 12th ka aaj se, to wo similar pattern lagta tha, to easily ho jaati thi. FM thoda mujhe solve karne mein time lagta tha, aata tha but solve karne mein time lagta tha. To Devashish sir ki na video dekhi usme unhone jaldi-jaldi solve karwaya...”
The difference in difficulty across subjects meant that she could spend more time on areas that needed additional revision and practice.
Writing practice was another regular part of Akanksha’s preparation, especially for Law and other theory-based subjects. She started practising answers before the examination instead of leaving answer writing for the final stage.
“Ma'am writing paise jaise pehle ka koi bhi PYQ utha liya, to do question likh ke usko dekhna ki usme kya module waale words aa rahe hain nahi aa rahe hain, aur ek na self satisfaction mil jaati hai answer dekh ke ki kya ye presentation sahi hai ya nahi hai, utna pehle pata hota hai, phir second step pe jaate hain ki guideline answer se kitna match ho raha hai.”
Her method was to pick a PYQ, write answers and then compare them with the expected answer. She looked at the use of module-specific words, presentation and how closely her answer matched the guideline answer.
This allowed her to gradually understand what needed to be improved in her written responses rather than simply practising answers without reviewing them.
Akanksha’s result was very different from what she had expected after the examination. She had even been worried about clearing the paper after her Tax exam, but the final result brought her AIR 6 and 410 marks.
Her subject-wise performance included 63 in JIGL, 59 in Law, 60 in SBL and 48 in TFM, while she secured 60 marks in each of the three Group 2 subjects. She received exemptions in five subjects.
For Tax, she relied heavily on practice from the ICSI module.
“Bahut baaki subject pe dhyaan dene ke liye zyada time mil jaata tha. Tax pe to — Tax to maine bahut solve kiya tha, CA ki module bhi solve ki thi.”
She also emphasised that students should focus on learning what has already been taught instead of waiting for the syllabus to end before beginning self-study.
“Mujhe lagta hai sir syllabus complete hone se zyada na pehle se bachchon ko padh ke rakhna chahiye. Jitna padh liya utna aapko aana chahiye.”
For Akanksha, the preparation was not based on an unusual strategy. It came from doing ordinary preparation tasks consistently—revising, practising answers, solving the module and keeping up with what was taught.
Her AIR 6 with 410 marks in CS Executive June 2026 shows how regular preparation can build into a strong result. Her journey also gives future CS aspirants a practical reminder: don't wait for the syllabus to end to start revision or writing practice.
