He secured third rank in the All-india chartered accountant final examination, results of which were declared on Wednesday by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

Mittal, an alumnus of Delhi University’s Shri Ram College of Commerce, said he had drawn up a careful study plan when he decided to take up chartered accountancy for higher studies.
“I think it is important to plan everything. I had a plan for preparing each subject, which I followed diligently. After college finished in 2015, I took up articleship with Pricewaterhousecoop- ers (PWC) in Gurgaon and purposely took up coaching in south Delhi so that I could reach office on time,” he said.
Mittal, a resident of Pitampura, said he used his long commute in Metro to prepare for the exam. “I used to take Metro from Pitampura for coaching and then to office in Gurgaon. I used to spend a fairly good amount of time travelling via Metro and I utilised it to study,” he said.
