CA Inter results: Four Hyderabad students secure top 50 ranks on first attempt
Mohammed Qutub Riyan led the group with All India Rank 11 as four candidates from the city cleared the demanding examination at their first attempt.
Four students from Hyderabad have achieved top 50 positions in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) CA Intermediate examination, with each of them clearing the national test on their first attempt.
Mohammed Qutub Riyan led the city cohort, securing All India Rank (AIR) 11 by scoring 473 marks out of 600. Saanvi Sharma secured AIR 29 with 455 marks, while Jhanvi Goel and Shrishti Tayel earned AIR 40 and AIR 41, scoring 444 and 443 marks respectively.
How Hyderabad students performed in CA Inter
| Candidate | All India Rank | Marks (out of 600) | First Attempt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mohammed Qutub Riyan | 11 | 473 | Yes |
| Saanvi Sharma | 29 | 455 | Yes |
| Jhanvi Goel | 40 | 444 | Yes |
| Shrishti Tayel | 41 | 443 | Yes |
Preparation strategies and overcoming setbacks
For 18-year-old Riyan, who previously ranked fourth in Telangana in his Class 12 state board examinations with 98.6 per cent, the preparation required clearing a significant backlog of lectures in auditing and financial management midway through the year. He cleared around 20 days worth of recorded sessions by mid-July through disciplined daily revision schedules.
Saanvi Sharma built on her previous academic success, having already secured AIR 11 in the CA Foundation examination with 333 marks out of 400. During her final preparation phase, she dedicated 14 to 16 hours daily to structural revision and mock examinations.
Jhanvi Goel focused on conceptual clarity over rote memorisation, particularly in taxation. She broke the complex syllabus into smaller units and targeted the underlying logic behind statutory amendments.
Shrishti Tayel achieved her rank despite physical challenges during her study period. A minor accident in April required her to transfer to online classes, and she subsequently developed tennis elbow, causing severe pain in her writing hand. She maintained consistency by combining intensive 12 to 14 hour study cycles with short rest breaks.
Next steps for the qualifying candidates
With the Intermediate stage complete, all four candidates are now preparing to begin their mandatory practical articleship training before registering for the final CA examination.
