Many aspirants have to juggle work, family, and other responsibilities while preparing for the exam. But the key to success isn\u2019t having the perfect schedule or unlimited time it\u2019s about staying focused, making the most of the time you have, and never giving up. Top scorers aren\u2019t always the ones with the ideal conditions, but the ones who keep pushing forward, no matter what.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this journey even more inspiring is that it didn\u2019t end with just one IIM call. CAT topper Aditya didn\u2019t just crack the exam with a 99.63 percentile but also he converted calls from all three <strong>top IIM ABC: Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta<\/strong>. As a working professional, managing a job alongside CAT prep is tough enough, but getting into all three top IIMs is something only a few manage to do. So here is a CAT Topper Aditya Prasad\u2019s story showing that with the right mindset, even a busy life can lead to the top B-schools in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><mark>Join this free WhatsApp group to get the latest information about CAT exam along with the strategies by CAT experts<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/li.iquanta.in\/3FagB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-1024x476.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61202\" style=\"width:636px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-1024x476.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-300x140.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-768x357.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-903x420.jpeg 903w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-150x70.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-696x324.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM-1068x497.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-10-13-at-4.06.56-PM.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_77 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/my-journey-to-iim-ahmedabad-aditya-prasad\/#Who_is_CAT_Topper_Aditya_Prasad\" >Who is CAT Topper Aditya Prasad?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/my-journey-to-iim-ahmedabad-aditya-prasad\/#CAT_Topper_Aditya_Prasads_Journey_9963ile_IIM_ABC_Convert\" >CAT Topper Aditya Prasad&#8217;s Journey: 99.63%ile &amp; IIM ABC Convert !<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/my-journey-to-iim-ahmedabad-aditya-prasad\/#CAT_Topper_Adityas_Suggestion_to_CAT_Aspirants\" >CAT Topper Aditya&#8217;s Suggestion to CAT Aspirants<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-is-cat-topper-aditya-prasad\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_CAT_Topper_Aditya_Prasad\"><\/span><strong>Who is CAT Topper Aditya Prasad?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aditya Prasad is a CAT topper who secured an amazing 99.63%ile and his journey of getting admission in B-School began when he was in third year of Engineering. According to the educational background, Aditya has done B.Tech. He got placed in a core manufacturing company  that is NBC Bearings as a Production Engineer. In the first attempt, he got 97.5 percentile and had applied only for top 6 IIMs but did not get a call from any of these colleges and later got interview call from NITIE Mumbai. Aditya has decided to go for another try to CAT but this time with better preparation and started taking iQuanta&#8217;s sessions. With the helpful sessions and a focused attempt, Aditya got an outstanding score 99.63 percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-topper-aditya-prasad-s-journey-99-63-ile-amp-iim-abc-convert\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Topper_Aditya_Prasads_Journey_9963ile_IIM_ABC_Convert\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper Aditya Prasad&#8217;s Journey: 99.63%ile &amp; IIM ABC Convert !<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CAT topper Aditya&#8217;s journey for getting admission in B-school began when he was in his third year of engineering. There was a seminar conducted by his seniors regarding the future possibilities after B.Tech. That day after having a lot of thoughts Aditya felt that MBA from a premier B-school is what he want. Then came the placement season in college\u2019s 7th semester and he got placed in a core manufacturing company i.e, NBC Bearings. Soon his other friends too got placed and had an awesome final year of college and somehow the dream of cracking CAT took a back seat, though it still was his dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then in July he started working as a Production Engineer. He started preparing for CAT by mid- August and got 97.5 percentile in CAT. Aditya had applied only for top 6 IIMs and so he didn\u2019t get a call from any of these colleges. Later got interview call from NITIE Mumbai but he didn\u2019t go for it fortunately because he had decided to give another try to CAT with better preparation this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aditya&#8217;s work required him to work in different shifts every week. So, joining a coaching institute was only option left for him. So, he took an informed and thought out decision of joining iQuanta&#8217;s course. The possibility of attending classes and seminars as per his timings was a major advantage that he had with iQuanta. The Quant sessions were always fun and taught something that would prove to be the turning point during that decisive hour. These sessions helped in boosting grip on the concepts and taught to apply these concepts to maximize effect and thus in quant he secured 99.63 percentile in CAT (from 92.95 in CAT\u2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark>Join the Largest CAT Preparation Community in India<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1024x648.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44397\" style=\"width:568px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1024x648.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-300x190.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-768x486.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1536x972.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-664x420.jpeg 664w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-150x95.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-696x440.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM-1068x676.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-25-at-12.09.45-PM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the CAT results were announced half the battle was won and the real battle was staring at the face. The preparation for interview has really taught him a lot and it was then that he realized the importance of perseverance. He was frequently travelling from Jaipur to Delhi and also within Delhi metro (to such an extent that now he can guide people on which metro lines to take for reaching their destination). This was a phase that was a lot tiring both physically and mentally. But, it\u2019s all worth the feeling of getting into your dream B-school. It\u2019s all worth the happiness that you see on the faces of your parents and your dear ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cat-topper-aditya-s-suggestion-to-cat-aspirants\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Topper_Adityas_Suggestion_to_CAT_Aspirants\"><\/span><strong>CAT Topper Aditya&#8217;s Suggestion to CAT Aspirants<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He have just a few things to say to all those who wish to crack CAT and get into a B-school. Firstly, never give up on your dreams. Everyone is bound to face hurdles during lives. It is how we face them that will decide our fate. Secondly, it is never too late and never too early to begin preparing for CAT. Third and most importantly have faith in yourself and your abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were days when Aditya felt completely drained, balancing work and studies wasn\u2019t just hard, it was exhausting. What pushed him forward was the hope that it would all pay off in the end. He didn\u2019t have a perfect routine or endless hours to prepare, but he made the most of what he had. His schedule was not perfect and he didn\u2019t have a lot of time, but he used whatever time he got. And slowly, things started falling into place. This journey taught him that you don\u2019t need to be extraordinary to achieve something big you just need to keep showing up, even on the tough days. So, this was the journey of Aditya someone who started just like you, with doubts, a busy schedule, and a big dream. With the right support and dedication, he made it to the top IIMs. And he\u2019s not the only one. At iQuanta, we have helped many others like him, with <strong>10,000+ IIM calls<\/strong> and <strong>1,000+ converts<\/strong>.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iQuanta&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-2026\">CAT Course 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cat-2026\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Blog-CAT-26-1600x900-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAT is one of the toughest exams out there, and it can feel overwhelming, especially when life keeps throwing obstacles your way.
