Yugal Paunikar secured AIR 20 in CSEET June 2026 with 290 marks in his first attempt. His preparation came at a time when he had just completed his board exams and had limited time before the CSEET examination.
Rather than postponing the attempt, Yugal decided to appear for the exam and prepared using the free classes available on PW’s YouTube channel.
Yugal’s CSEET preparation began after his board exams, leaving him with relatively little time before the examination. With others suggesting that he could take the exam in a later attempt, he still decided to give it a try.
“Actually mere khud mein hi boards hue the na, to phir zyada time bacha nahi tha, to phir sabne mujhe wahi bola tha lekin maine socha de dete hain, dekh lete hain, pass hoga kya pata ya.”
Instead of waiting for another attempt, Yugal went ahead with the examination. His decision eventually resulted in not just a pass but AIR 20.
With limited preparation time, Yugal used the free batch taught on YouTube by PW for his CSEET preparation.
When asked which batch he had used, he said:
“Free batch tha jo aapne YouTube pe padhaya tha.”
His result shows how he used the available free learning resources to prepare for the examination. He scored 87 marks in Accounts, 75 in Law, 66 in Business Communication, and 62 in Economics, taking his total to 290 marks out of 400.
Yugal initially checked only his result and did not know that he had secured a rank. He was sitting on the stairs of a metro station when he first saw his result. After sharing his marks with a friend, his friend suggested that he check his rank as well.
Yugal had not expected to secure a rank, making the discovery of AIR 20 an unexpected result. He has already started preparing for the next stage and plans to continue his studies for CS Executive with greater focus.
After clearing CSEET with AIR 20, Yugal had already started preparing for the next stage, although he planned to increase his preparation further after the result.
“Haan haan karenge karenge, abhi matlab chaalu kiya hai maine, start kiya hai but abhi aur achhe se karenge, result abhi aa gaya.”
His next goal is to continue towards the CS Executive stage, carrying forward the confidence gained from his CSEET result.
Yugal Paunikar’s journey to AIR 20 in CSEET June 2026 started with a limited preparation window after his board exams. He chose not to postpone his attempt, used PW’s free YouTube classes, and secured 290 marks. His story highlights the value of making the most of available preparation time and resources, even when the timeline is short.
