Girls sweep top 3 ranks in CA exam, make history NEW DELHI: Yet another male bastion has been decisively breached. Its a long-held myth that girls struggle with numbers and finance. Well, try telling that to Maitreyee Narayansing Rajaput, Arti Jain and Charmy Suresh Sheth. The three young women have made history by sweeping the top three all-India positions in this years chartered accountancy exam, considered one of the most difficult to clear. Whats more, the pass percentage of girls surpassed that of the boys. While 2,368 (21.9%) of the 10,816 girls who appeared for the CA finals this year cleared the last hurdle, the pass percentage was 19.8% for the boys, with 4,277 successful aspirants out of the 21,603 who took the exam. The top rank has been bagged by 21-year-old Maitreyee Narayansing Rajaput of Pune. Speaking to TOI, Rajaput, the daughter of a retired high-school teacher -- said she was excited that the top rankers were girls. However, she refused to read too much into the girls versus boys debate and said it could be pure coincidence that the top three rankers were females. Rajaput said she was surprised at her achievement, but had always been good with numbers. I hope more and more girls will be drawn towards accountancy as a profession, she said. The second rank went to Arti Jain of Bikaner, while Charmy Suresh Sheth from Mumbai stood third. Back |
