Priyanshi Gupta secured AIR 23 in CSEET June 2026 with 286/400 marks, despite starting her preparation late and facing a backlog of more than 100 lectures. Alongside her regular college studies and examinations, she followed PW classes, used the provided notes, revised repeatedly, and sought guidance from her teachers whenever needed.
Her journey stands out for how she managed a limited preparation window without abandoning her attempt. By staying consistent with classes and focusing on revision and teacher guidance, Priyanshi turned a challenging start into a strong national-level result.
Priyanshi’s preparation did not begin with months of planning. She decided to pursue CS at the last minute and soon realised how much work was already waiting for her. With more than 100 lectures pending, she had to find a way to cover the syllabus quickly while also managing college.
She recalls how she approached the situation after starting late:
“Kyuki jab maine dekha mere 100 se bhi zyada backlogs hain, toh Ab October attempt dekhte hain. Kyunki ab maine start kar hi diya hai, toh already bahut late ho chuka hai. Ab mujhe karna hi hai. Main ek-ek din mein 10-10 videos dekhti thi. Poora din bas aadha ghanta khana khaane ke liye break leti thi aur roz videos dekhti rehti thi.”
Rather than postponing her attempt, Priyanshi accepted that she had started late and concentrated on making up for the lost time. She also chose to begin with Accounts because she came from a Commerce background but did not feel confident in the subject. This gave her a way to establish a base before moving ahead with the rest of her preparation.
The limited preparation window became even more challenging because Priyanshi’s regular college examinations were also scheduled in June. She therefore had to divide her attention between two academic commitments while continuing her CSEET preparation.
Her strategy was not based simply on counting study hours. Instead, she focused on completing the classes and revisiting topics repeatedly, especially when she felt she was forgetting them.
She explained the limited time available to her:
“Honestly, bahut kam tha, kyunki mujhe college ki padhai bhi karni thi saath mein. Phir bhi, agar main days mein poochun, toh matlab ek mahine pehle mujhe laga tha ki jitna aap logon ne karwa diya hai, utna syllabus main ek baar toh kar hi lungi. Jo bhi syllabus aap logon ne padha diya tha, woh maine ek baar poora kar liya tha. Jo bacha tha, woh main saath ke saath kar leti thi.”
This approach helped her complete what had already been taught and then focus on revision. Instead of trying to cover everything at once, she repeatedly worked through the material she had studied.
Once Priyanshi began attending PW Classes, consistency became an important part of her routine. She made it a point not to let lectures accumulate into another backlog, even when she was away from home or had other commitments.
She described how seriously she followed the classes:
“Phir maine live classes kabhi miss hi nahi ki. Mera tha ki main kabhi function mein hoon, kabhi kahin bhi hoon, kuch bhi ho, chahe raat ko 12 baje aake class karni pade, lekin main recording lecture dekh ke hi soungi.”
PW’s notes were also an important part of her preparation. Priyanshi specifically recalled using the notes while preparing outside the examination setting:
“Exam ke bahar khade hoke bhi main wohi notes padhti thi jo website pe the. Bahut achha lag raha hai.”
For Economics, which required repeated revision for her, she relied heavily on the class material and revisited the explanations multiple times. Her focus was less on constantly adding new resources and more on completing and revising the material already available to her.
Priyanshi’s experience with PW was not limited to completing lectures and using notes. She also highlighted the support she received from her Business Management teacher, who remained connected with her even after completing the course. This continued availability helped her get support throughout her preparation.
Priyanshi specifically expressed her gratitude for the teacher’s support:
“Business Management wale sir ko toh mujhe bahut thank you kehna hai. Woh meeting mein nahi aaye, but I wish hote. Unhone meri itni help kari hai. Unhone SIP ko regarding, apne form ko regarding, itne saare messages kiye hain. Throughout the journey, unhone meri bahut help kari hai. Unki classes jaldi khatam ho gayi thi, but uske baad bhi woh mere saath connected rahe. Unhone meri bahut help kari hai. ”
The support mattered to Priyanshi because the teacher continued to stay connected even after the classes had ended. Her experience shows how teacher availability and continued guidance can complement classroom learning, particularly when a student is preparing within a limited timeframe.
Economics was one of the areas where Priyanshi felt she needed extra effort. She repeatedly studied the subject, revisited videos, and worked on remembering concepts and details that did not stay with her after a single reading.
She shared how intensely she worked on the subject:
“Eco maine itni zyada padhi thi, main bata bhi nahi sakti, kyunki mera college regular hai. Toh mere college ke exams bhi June mein hi the. Aur mujhe bas ye darr tha ki kahin Eco clash na ho jaaye. Jab main college ka bhi padhti thi aur ek ghante ka break leti thi, tab bhi mujhe lagta tha ki Eco padh leti hoon. Kyunki Eco mein mujhe woh jo WD wagairah yaad hi nahi hote the. Main Eco padhti rehti thi, wapas videos dekhti rehti thi. Jab aapne A, B, C, D likhvaye the na, maine unko itna padha hai.”
The repeated revision eventually paid off. After the examination, Priyanshi felt that her paper had gone well, but an All India Rank was still beyond what she had expected.
Priyanshi entered the result phase expecting to know whether she had cleared the examination, but she had never seriously imagined that she would receive a national rank. When she was informed about her result, her first reaction was disbelief.
She described the moment this way:
“Jab unhone mujhe call karke bola na, ‘Priyanshi, aapki rank aayi hai,’ toh mujhe laga ki Priyanshi toh bahut common name hai. Shayad unhone kisi aur Priyanshi ko call kar diya hai.”
After confirming her roll number, the result finally sank in. Priyanshi had secured AIR 23, with 286 marks out of 400, among the students who appeared for the examination.
Her result was the outcome of a preparation journey that had started late, included a substantial backlog and had to run alongside regular college studies. Instead of allowing those constraints to disrupt her preparation, she focused on completing classes, revising difficult topics and staying consistent until the examination.
Priyanshi Gupta's journey to AIR 23 in CSEET June 2026 shows how consistent execution can help students make the most of a limited preparation window. Despite starting with a significant lecture backlog and managing college studies alongside CSEET preparation, she stayed committed to completing her classes and revising regularly.
Her experience highlights three key lessons for future aspirants: stay consistent after a late start, revise the material you have already studied, and use teacher guidance when you need support.
