From scoring 9 marks in a mock to crossing 120+ in a few mocks, it has been a journey full of ups and downs. I am extremely grateful for the progress, there\u2019s always scope to push a little further, and in hindsight, a slightly higher score would have been ideal but the learning and growth from this journey have been far more valuable..

Even, he came from the non-engineering background where re-learning all the mathematical concepts was challenging for a CAT topper. <br>The application classes always made sure that whatever concept were taught by the expert mentors made immediate sense and felt relevant. So, initially he scored very less with 9 marks in mocks to crossing 120+ marks which has been a journey full of ups and downs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-shadow\" style=\"margin-bottom:30px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-orange-to-vivid-red-gradient-background has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\/permalink\/3394215500746128\/?_rdr\" style=\"border-radius:35px\">Read CAT 2025 Topper Full Journey<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-80.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68574\" style=\"width:694px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-80.png 520w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-80-228x300.png 228w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-80-319x420.png 319w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-80-150x197.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-80-300x395.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-shadow\" style=\"margin-bottom:30px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-orange-to-vivid-red-gradient-background has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/\" style=\"border-radius:35px\">CAT 2026 Course<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-420x420.png 420w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-696x696.png 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74-1068x1068.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-74.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAT 2025 Topper Kushagra Barai, who secured an amazing 99.33 percentile overall, is a true example of how structured guidance and consistent effort can lead to exceptional results.
