Ajinkya Deshmukh is one of only nine people in India who scored a 100 percentile in the CAT exam.
How did he do it?
What makes Ajinkya Deshmukh's achievement extraordinary is that he cracked CAT without taking a break from work.
"I prepared for CAT while I was working," he says.
At 7 am each morning, Ajinkya -- who lives in the satellite town of Ambarnath, located a little over 50 kilometres from Mumbai -- woke up to study for CAT uncomplainingly, though he had only arrived home at 11 pm the previous night.
"Focus," he emphasises, is what helped him clinch his goals each time -- be it pursuing a computer science degree at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras or scoring a 100 percentile at CAT 2011, only one of nine toppers in the country.
Over 200,000 aspirants took the CAT last year. Over 1,700 scored in the 99th percentile.
Only 9 scored a perfect 100.
