JAIBEN George, who topped the AIIMS Pre-Medical Test attempted one test series after another. 

CAT Topper Ayush Kedia focused mainly on refining his English language skills by setting up an English conversation group along with his friends, who were also giving the exam. Company Secretary candidate Puneet Gupta used a pet technique - using stories to link one concept to another. He banked on pictures and illustrations to retain and recall answers.

Rahul Garg who topped the Cost and Works Accountant exam, broke up complex theories into simpler ones. Many candidates gave several mock tests before appearing for the exam, and many joined coaching classes. While the test series helped in cultivating time management and simulating an exam, many admitted that the coaching classes helped in inculcating discipline. But all toppers unanimously contended that the road to accomplishment is ultimately paved by the individual’s own effort and drive. Perseverance seems to be the hallmark of all these toppers. Intellect, focus and discipline were the other core contributary factors. Another key element is the approach to the study process, which varied across the board.

But the common factor is the innumerable hours of hard work they put in. And the icing on the cake is the badge of a topper that they earn for life. They share their journey with Careers360.
