From 22 Days of Preparation to AIR 4: Samyak Jain’s CS Executive Success Story with Physics Wallah

Securing a top rank in CS Executive can be challenging when you have limited preparation time, multiple subjects to cover, and other professional exams to manage. Students often struggle to decide which topics to prioritise, how to revise the syllabus quickly, and how to make the most of the final days before the exam. When preparation time is short, following a focused approach becomes essential to avoid wasting valuable hours.

Samyak Jain turned this challenge into an impressive result. After completing his CA Intermediate exams, he had only 22–23 days to prepare for CS Executive. By focusing on targeted revision, concise notes, and Physics Wallah’s free lectures and marathon sessions, he secured AIR 4 with 423 marks in June 2026.

Managing Two Professional Exams with Just 22 Days to Prepare

Samyak’s preparation journey was far from conventional. After appearing for CA Intermediate, he had barely three weeks before the CS Executive examination. Instead of following a long study plan, he had to quickly identify what mattered most and make every day count.

Talking about that phase, he shared:

“Mere paas collectively 22–23 days study karne ke liye.”

He initially spent a few days figuring out how to approach the preparation. As he recalled:

“Pehle do–teen din bas browse karta raha ki kahaan se padhun, kaise padhun.”

With limited time and a few subjects already covered through his CA background, his biggest challenge was strengthening the new CS-specific papers through rapid revision.

Turning Limited Time Into a Focused Preparation Strategy with PW

 With only around three weeks available, Samyak had to quickly identify what needed to be studied and what could be revised from his existing CA Intermediate preparation. Instead of trying to start every subject from scratch, he focused on the papers that needed more attention and used the time available to cover them efficiently.

“Mereko sirf CMSL, IIPL wagairah achhe se karna tha aur JIGL achhe se karna tha. Toh Shivani Ma’am, Mehndi Ma’am aur Sumit Sir ke lectures aur jo slides available thi, unko maine kiya.”

He also made sure that his preparation material could support a quick final revision. After going through the available study resources, he created concise notes covering the important topics.

“Jitni bhi slides available thi, sab padh li. Sabki concise notes bana li thi last day ke liye, taaki last day ek baar revise kar sakun.”

This focused approach helped him make the most of his limited preparation time.

How Physics Wallah Helped Samyak Jain with Last-Minute Revision Strategy

Instead of collecting multiple resources, Samyak chose a practical approach. He used Physics Wallah’s free lectures, slides and marathon sessions to revise the subjects that required the most attention and converted them into concise notes for the final days before the exam.

“PW ke free lectures dekhne mile… jitni bhi free slides available thi, sab padh li aur concise notes bana liye last day revision ke liye.”

Reflecting on their impact, he added:

“Free slides aur lectures ne bahut help kiya. Jo marathons the… shayad unhi ke wajah se pass bhi hua hoon.”

What began as a last-minute revision resource eventually became the foundation of his preparation during those crucial weeks.

Samyak Jain’s Advice for Students Preparing for CS Executive

Looking back at his preparation, Samyak believes students should not wait until the final weeks to develop practical understanding, especially in subjects where students may be comfortable with theory but struggle with application.

“CS ke bachche theory mein kaafi strong hote hain, but practical side ki wajah se aggregate ka issue aa sakta hai.”

For students preparing for CS Executive, he recommends giving practical subjects regular attention rather than leaving them for the end.

“Do–teen mahine pehle se agar practical batches wali jo practice hai, woh bahut achhe se ho bachchon ki, toh woh ek cheez hai jo passing rate improve karegi.”

His experience also taught him that practice needs to continue alongside theoretical preparation.

“Taxation and CFM aise subjects hain jo poore practical hain… toh practical ke liye practice karni chahiye.”

For future students, his biggest lesson is to identify the areas that can affect their performance and work on them well before the examination pressure begins.

Samyak Jain’s journey from just 22–23 days of preparation to AIR 4 with 423 marks shows what focused effort can achieve under pressure. His experience highlights the importance of choosing useful resources, revising strategically, creating concise notes and building practical understanding well before the final days. With the support of Physics Wallah’s learning resources and his own determination, Samyak turned limited preparation time into an outstanding CS Executive result.
