Sakshi Tanna from Junagadh, Gujarat, secured AIR 21 in CSEET June 2026 with 289 out of 400 marks. She prepared for the exam through PW’s two-month Fast Track Batch after completing her Class 12 board exams.
Sakshi was already familiar with PW. She had studied Accounts through PW in Class 11 and continued with PW in Class 12. After her boards, she joined the Fast Track Batch for CSEET.
Her preparation was focused on attending classes, completing modules and DPPs, following revision sessions, and using faculty notes. Despite initially expecting an average result, Sakshi's preparation helped her achieve a top rank.
Sakshi's association with PW started during her school years. She had already used PW for her Class 11 and 12 studies. After completing her boards, she decided to continue with PW for CSEET preparation.
She joined the PW Fast Track Batch for two months. At that point, she did not expect that this short preparation period would lead to a top rank.
"Maine to do mahine ki Fast Track Batch li thi aur usmein itna achha rank aa gaya. Maine 11th aur 12th mein bhi PW se kiya tha sir. Maine 11th mein Accounts kiya tha batch se aur 12th mein bhi PW se kiya tha aur phir pata hi tha ki PW se bahut achha hota hi hai. Aur baad mein boards ke baad start kiya tha, Fast Track Batch li thi aur itna achha result to matlab expect bhi nahi kiya tha."
Her previous experience with PW made it easier for her to continue with the same learning approach after Class 12. She then used the two-month Fast Track Batch to prepare specifically for CSEET.
Although Sakshi prepared seriously, she was not very confident about her performance before the result. She expected her Accounts marks to be much lower than her final score.
She was more confident about Economics and Law, as she felt those papers had gone well.
"Mujhe to aisa tha ki Accounts mein 40-45 jitne marks aayenge aur Eco mein aur Law mein achhe marks aayenge kyunki bahut achha gaya tha."
Her uncertainty was not limited to academics. She was also worried about the final result and had already told her parents that she might only manage to pass.
"Main do-teen din se yahi bol rahi thi ki mushkil se pass hone wali, mushkil se pass hone wali hoon. To parents bhi ye keh rahe the koi baat nahi, pass ho ja. Koi tension nahi hai, aaram se, koi chinta nahi hai. Aur agar fail bhi ho gayi to koi itna bada loss nahi ja raha hai. Do mahine mein jitna hota hai utna hi hoga."
Her parents' response gave her emotional support without adding pressure. The result, however, turned out to be much better than she had expected.
Sakshi followed a simple strategy during her two-month preparation. She focused on her PW CS Classes and completed the practice material given to her.
She solved the modules and DPPs and also attended the One-Shot and Marathon sessions. Instead of creating a complicated strategy, she followed what her faculty recommended.
"Sir strategy to yahi thi ki sirf classes attend karni achhe se aur module aur phir jo DPPs thi wo solve ki thi aur jitne bhi One Shot, Marathon ye saare sessions, matlab wo achhe se kiye the. Sirf ki jitna aap log bol rahe ho sirf aur sirf utna, khud se zyada dimaag nahi lagaya."
This approach helped Sakshi use her limited preparation time effectively. She focused on the material covered in class and kept her preparation aligned with the faculty's guidance.
Revision was an important part of Sakshi's preparation. She specifically used Sumit Sir's One-Shot sessions and attended her classes regularly.
Economics was one subject she had been worried about before the examination. However, her experience during the paper was much better than she expected.
"Maine Sumit Sir ke saare One Shot dekhe the aur classes achhe se attend kiye the aur Eco mein bhi mujhe bahut dar lag raha tha but Eco ka paper mera itna achha achha lag gaya tha."
The One-Shot sessions gave her another way to revise the topics she had already studied. Regular classes and revision helped her approach the examination with better preparation.
Sakshi's result was a surprise not only for her but also for her family. After spending the days before the result expecting that she might only pass, she finally saw her name among the top rankers.
She shared how her family reacted when they found out about her result.
"Phir result aaya, mamma ko call kiya to wo bhi bahut zyada khush the. Papa aa gaye ghar pe. Papa ko bataya, wo bhi khush. Mera bhai CA kar raha hai. Usko bataya, wo bhi khush."
Her mother, father and brother were all happy about her achievement. The result gave Sakshi a much bigger outcome than she had expected from her two-month preparation.
Sakshi's preparation did not end with attending classes. She also focused on revising the notes provided by her faculty before the examination.
For her final-day revision, she specifically relied on Sumit Sir's notes. This helped her revise the material she had already studied instead of trying to cover new topics at the last moment.
She shared this advice while explaining what worked for her:
"Aur Sumit Sir ke notes achhe se kar lena. Maine last day pe to wahi se revise kara tha."
Her last-day strategy was therefore focused on revision rather than adding more resources. She used the notes she was already familiar with to quickly revise before the exam.
Sakshi believes CSEET aspirants should keep their preparation focused and follow their faculty's guidance. She does not recommend making the preparation unnecessarily complicated.
Her advice is to pay close attention during classes and complete the modules covered during the preparation.
"Bas jo faculty kahe aur jitna wo kahe utna karna aur class mein bahut achhe se attention rakhna aur to kuch zyada zaroori nahi hai. Module se bhi sab class mein wahi jaata hai cover. So uska to koi tension nahi hai."
Her approach can be summed up simply: attend classes carefully, follow the faculty's instructions, complete the practice material and revise properly.
After securing AIR 21 in CSEET, Sakshi has moved ahead with her Company Secretary journey. She has started her CS Executive classes and plans to take her preparation forward one group at a time.
"CS Executive ki classes start kar di hain."
Her next step marks the continuation of the journey that began with her CSEET preparation. After securing a top rank, she is now preparing for the next level of the Company Secretary course.
Sakshi Tanna’s CSEET journey shows how she approached a short preparation window with a focused routine instead of trying to use too many resources. Her AIR 21 result after two months of preparation reflects the preparation approach she described: attending classes consistently, following faculty guidance, practising through modules and DPPs, and revising from familiar notes.
