December 2024 was a big month for Tarkashastra. They were launching their very first MCA CET Crash Course, stepping into uncharted territory. Nobody really knew what to expect. But sometimes, the best stories come from taking that first leap of faith.
Among the 50+ students who signed up for this brand-new course was Sakshi Pravin Mahajan – a bright B.Sc. Computer Science graduate from Suryadatta College. Little did anyone know that she would go on to create history by securing All India Rank 1 in MCA CET 2025.
The Girl with Big Dreams
Sakshi wasn’t your typical overnight success story. She’d always been a consistent performer – 89% in 10th, 79% in 12th, and an impressive 9+ pointer throughout her Computer Science graduation. But like most of us, she knew that cracking the MCA CET would require something more than just good grades.
“I knew I had the academic background, but the MCA CET required a different level of preparation strategy,” reflects Sakshi. “That’s when I discovered Tarkashastra’s crash course, and it completely transformed my approach to exam preparation.”
Taking a Chance on Something New
Joining a coaching institute’s inaugural course is always risky. There’s no track record, no senior reviews, no success stories to fall back on. But something about Tarkashastra felt different to Sakshi.
The moment she met AK Sir, AT Sir, and JA Ma’am, she knew she’d made the right choice. “They weren’t just teachers trying to rush through a syllabus,” she says. “They genuinely cared about each student’s progress and had this unique way of making complex concepts feel simple.”
What Made This Course Special
Here’s what really set Tarkashastra apart from other coaching centers Sakshi had researched:
Real Flexibility, Not Just Marketing Talk: While Sakshi could attend the classroom sessions in Pune, she loved how seamlessly the institute handled students from other cities through live online sessions. No compromise on quality, whether you were sitting in the front row or attending from home.
Study Material That Actually Helped: Those e-books with 10,000+ practice questions weren’t just number-stuffing. Each question was carefully selected, and the recorded videos broke down even the trickiest problems into bite-sized pieces.
Testing That Mattered: Daily class tests might sound scary, but Sakshi found them incredibly helpful. “You can’t fool yourself about your preparation when you’re tested every single day,” she explains. Plus, the 10+ mock tests throughout the course gave her real exam confidence.
Small Batches, Big Impact: With maximum 30 students per batch, AT Sir and AK Sir could actually remember everyone’s names and weaknesses. The mock analysis sessions were like having personal coaching sessions where they’d sit with each student and figure out exactly what needed improvement.
Beyond Textbook Learning: The regular mentoring sessions with industry experts gave Sakshi perspectives she’d never get from books alone. These sessions helped her understand not just how to crack the exam, but what awaited her in her MCA journey.
The Tarkashastra System at Work
What Sakshi appreciated most was how the Tarkashastra educational system helped her stay on track. “I’m someone who tends to overthink and sometimes gets stuck on difficult topics,” she admits. “But their structured approach ensured I covered everything on time without getting bogged down.”
The regular mock tests were game-changers. Each one taught her something new about time management, question selection, and handling exam pressure. “By the time I sat for the actual MCA CET, it felt like just another mock test,” she laughs.
Making History
When the results came out, even Sakshi couldn’t believe it – AIR 1! Out of the 50+ students in that very first batch, four had scored above 98 percentile. For a debut course, these numbers were simply extraordinary.
“I called AK Sir immediately,” Sakshi remembers. “I was crying, he was laughing, and AT Sir was already planning how to help the next batch achieve similar success.”
More Than Just a Rank
Today, as Sakshi prepares for her MCA studies, she looks back at her Tarkashastra experience with gratitude. “They didn’t just help me crack an exam,” she reflects. “They taught me how to approach challenges systematically, how to stay calm under pressure, and most importantly, how to believe in myself.”
Her success story proves that sometimes, betting on something new – whether it’s a coaching institute’s first course or your own potential – can lead to incredible outcomes. Tarkashastra’s inaugural MCA CET course didn’t just produce results; it created a blueprint for success that continues to inspire students today.
From a determined Computer Science graduate to the AIR 1 holder in MCA CET 2025, Sakshi Mahajan’s journey shows us that with the right guidance, consistent effort, and a bit of courage, extraordinary things are possible.
