Nirma University girl tops Ahmedabad in CAT results

For 22-year-old Aditi Kaviya, an engineer, appearing for CAT 2017 was a cakewalk. With impulse reading as her hobby and strong background in Quantitative Aptitude, Aditi scored 99.98 percentile, and the only girl who topped the city. Aditi, who is currently in her 4th year of B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from Nirma University was expecting a good score however never expected to top the city.

Speaking to DNA, she said: "My exam had gone very well. This score comes to me as a surprise. I think what worked for me was strong vocabulary, thanks to reading and my background in Quantitative Aptitude."

While she played Tennis before her graduation, she could not pursue it as a hobby as engineering and preparing for CAT did not allow her time. She said, "My university is very strict with attendance so attending college from morning till 6.00 in the evening and then CAT coaching classes did not allow much time for me to do any other activity. To take a break, I used to read fiction novels."

PIECE OF ADVICE

While many say do smart work and not hard work, my success mantra is that hard work is extremely important. Short cuts do not help. I worked for the test for 1.5 years and everyday would prepare for 3 hours consistently.
