CSEET AIR 5 Kratika Agarwal Success Story with PW: Scored 314/400 Marks in June 2026

A good CSEET result requires students to stay consistent even when the examination pattern and difficulty level feel challenging. For CSEET AIR 5 Kratika Agarwal, the June 2026 examination brought an unexpected result as she secured the fifth rank across India with 314/400 marks.

Her journey stands out because she did not expect an AIR before the result. Instead, she focused on regular preparation, followed her study material and practised questions consistently. Her experience also shows how she approached a difficult Accounts paper without allowing the initial difficulty to affect her overall performance.

How Kratika Agarwal's CSEET Journey Led to AIR 5

Kratika Agarwal secured AIR 5 in CSEET June 2026, scoring 314 marks across four subjects. Her subject-wise performance was:

The result was particularly meaningful because Kratika did not expect to secure a rank before the result was announced. When asked whether she expected an AIR, she said:

“AIR ka to nahi mereko to paas ka bhi nahi lag raha tha mereko to lag raha tha Accounts mein ludak ke gaye is baar.”

Despite her concern about Accounts, she scored 73 marks in the subject. Her overall performance remained balanced, with no subject falling below 73 marks.

Kratika Agarwal's Approach to a Difficult Accounts Paper

Accounts was the subject Kratika found the most challenging. She explained that the actual paper was more difficult than she had expected based on the available material and sample paper.

When asked about her approach, she said:

“Toh utna hi jitna module mein diya tha expectation usi ke hisaab se thi but but question paper bhi aaya difficult hi tha but thoda agar aap common sense lagana padta paper mein agar aap dar jayenge to phir toh nahi hoga.”

She also described her initial reaction after seeing the paper:

“Mere abhi paper dekh ke thodi der ke liye dimaag mein pakka tha ki ye toh kya pooch liya hai but karne pe aao toh phir ho jata hai. Thoda-thoda karo kuch toh ban jaata hai.”

Rather than letting the difficulty of the paper create panic, she continued attempting the questions. Her experience highlights the importance of staying composed and continuing to work through questions during the examination.

Kratika Agarwal's CSEET Preparation Strategy: Consistency

For students preparing for their upcoming attempts, Kratika identified consistency as one of the most important parts of her preparation. When asked about her strategy, she said:

“Consistency is the key agar aap chhod-chhod ke padhoge toh nahi hoga. Padhna padta hai lagatar toh ho jata hai. Consistency mere khayal se is the thing ki aapko maintain karni hai.”

Her CSEET preparation strategy was therefore centred on maintaining continuity in studies instead of studying irregularly. This approach helped her stay engaged with her preparation and handle the examination even when one subject proved difficult.

How PW DPPs Supported Kratika Agarwal's Preparation

Along with her classes in PW's Sanjeevani batch, Kratika highlighted the role of regular DPPs in her preparation. When asked which feature helped her apart from classes, she specifically mentioned the practice questions.

She said:

“DPPs regular DPPs questions jaise module mein hamare itne questions the, nahi toh humein questions ki hi need hoti hai mainly. Toh DPPs jo timely aate the, that were very help.”

This shows that, for Kratika, regular question practice was an important part of her preparation. She found the timely DPPs useful for getting additional practice beyond the questions available in the module.

What Kratika Agarwal's CSEET Success Story Shows

Kratika Agarwal's CSEET success story reflects a preparation approach built around consistency, continued practice and a calm response to difficult questions. Her 314/400 marks came from balanced performance across all four subjects, including 73 marks in the Accounts paper she found challenging.

For students preparing for CSEET, her experience offers three practical takeaways:

• Maintain consistency instead of leaving preparation for long gaps.

• Continue attempting questions even when the paper initially appears difficult.

• Practise regularly through additional questions to strengthen preparation.

Kratika has also started preparing for the next stage of the Company Secretary course and plans to appear for a single module in December, as discussed during the interaction.

Her CSEET AIR 5 Preparation journey shows that students do not always know how their result will turn out before the result day. What they can control is the consistency of their preparation, regular practice and their response when the examination becomes challenging.
