For thousands of Chartered Accountancy aspirants, results day brings either a dream fulfilled or a difficult reality to face. For Shaifali Singh, it was the latter. Despite a year of rigorous preparation, unwavering focus, and personal sacrifices, she did not clear the CA Final examination. But instead of letting this defeat define her, she turned it into fuel for her next attempt.
The story came to light through a post shared by CA Nitin Kaushik, a practicing Chartered Accountant, who took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to reflect on a moment that, in his words, inspired him more than any success story. In a heartfelt post, he described how the result day was just as emotional for him as it was for his close friend Shaifali, who had dedicated herself entirely to her goal of clearing the CA Final.
A Journey Marked By Sacrifice
Kaushik recalled how he had witnessed Shaifali pour herself into her preparation — studying relentlessly for months, cutting off from social engagements, and even staying away from her family during important moments. The CA course, known for its intensity, had taken a toll on her physically and mentally, yet she stayed determined.
When the results were released, Kaushik anxiously checked Shaifali’s result before she could. The outcome hit hard — she hadn’t cleared. When she finally video-called him, full of excitement and hope, he was at a loss for words, unable to tell her the truth. Her joy faded the moment she saw the result, and the disappointment was evident. Yet, what followed was a testament to her character.
Resilience In Face of Heartbreak
Despite the emotional weight of the moment, Shaifali didn’t let it break her. Within half an hour of consoling her mother, she was already outlining her new study plan, identifying areas for improvement, and mentally preparing for another attempt. Kaushik shared how she explained her optimism by saying that perhaps God had bigger plans than she had imagined.
Her unwavering spirit was clear when she sent him a message the next morning at 5:30 AM: “I am starting with Audit.” For Kaushik, this wasn’t just a display of resilience — it was the mark of someone who already carried the spirit of a Chartered Accountant, even if the formal title would come a little later.
Failure Isn’t The End
Shaifali’s story serves as a powerful reminder that failure is not the end of the road. In a profession as demanding as Chartered Accountancy, the journey itself shapes individuals. As Kaushik put it, becoming a CA isn’t just about clearing exams — it’s about developing the strength, discipline, and character that the role demands.
Shaifali Singh’s determination in the face of failure shows that setbacks can become springboards for greater success.

Three days back, it was the judgement day for CA students. It's been years since I become one, but it was a fresh blow, the one I won't forget for many years to come.
My close friend, Shaifali Singh, @BookBug_…
