Pune, October 2025 – When Sakshi Mahajan walked into the first-ever MCA CET coaching batch at Tarkashastra, she didn’t know she would go on to make history. What began as a journey to crack one of Maharashtra’s most competitive entrance exams ended with her achieving All India Rank 1 in MAH MCA CET 2025 with a staggering 99.996294 percentile. But success like this doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of consistency, clarity, and choosing the right path.
Why Sakshi Chose Tarkashastra
When looking for coaching options, Sakshi wasn’t interested in large, impersonal institutes. She wanted focus. She wanted accountability. She wanted mentorship. That’s when she found Tarkashastra, a Pune-based institute quietly making its debut in the MCA CET coaching space. “They didn’t make big claims. But in the first few sessions, I saw the difference,” Sakshi says. “Their teaching style was structured, their material was clean, and every faculty member was deeply involved.”
The Early Struggles: Logical Reasoning & Time Pressure
Sakshi’s biggest challenge in the beginning was Logical Reasoning – a section known to derail even the best-prepared students. She often found herself running out of time or second-guessing answers. That’s where AT Sir came in. “He didn’t just teach formulas,” Sakshi explains. “He taught me how to recognize patterns, how to spot traps, and how to think under pressure.” The practice continued daily. Doubt sessions, quizzes, custom homework sets — all focused on closing that one gap. And it worked.
The Tarkashastra Way: Strategy Over Slogans
Tarkashastra’s formula was simple: master the basics first, then increase speed and accuracy. Instead of overwhelming students with pages of content, they curated what matters most. Here’s what made their system stand out: weekly mock tests replicating the actual exam interface, error analysis reports for every student, concept-focused classes followed by targeted drills, and one-on-one doubt resolution, in class or on WhatsApp. AT Sir and team worked like mentors, not just subject experts. “Even if I messaged at 10 PM, someone would reply,” Sakshi says. “That kind of support is rare.”
Mock Tests: Tracking Progress, Not Just Marks
Sakshi took over 20 full-length mock tests at Tarkashastra before the real exam. But it wasn’t about scores — it was about analysis. Each mock taught her how to manage time between sections, where she consistently lost marks, which topics to revise more often, and how to stay calm under exam pressure. She started with 85 percentile. Then slowly climbed to 90. Then 95+. The trend was clear — and confidence grew with it.
The Day of the Exam: Calm, Ready, Focused
By the time Sakshi walked into the exam hall, she wasn’t nervous. “It felt like just another mock test,” she said. “That was the power of Tarkashastra’s training — the real thing didn’t scare me anymore.”
What Her Success Means for Future MCA Aspirants
Sakshi’s journey is proof that you don’t need to be a born topper to get top ranks. You just need the right plan, the right coaching, and the discipline to follow through. Her story is also a validation for Tarkashastra’s method. In just one year, they’ve gone from a new coaching center to producing the #1 rank in the country. And she wasn’t the only one. Many of her batchmates scored ranks high enough to enter top MCA colleges like VJTI, SPIT, and PCCOE.
Advice From AIR 1 to Future Aspirants
Sakshi has three tips for students preparing for MCA CET: start early — don’t wait till the last 2-3 months; build speed and accuracy over time; don’t ignore mocks — they’re your feedback system; and choose the right guidance — one-on-one mentorship helped her way more than any book.
What’s Next for Sakshi?
With admission to her dream college almost guaranteed, Sakshi is looking forward to starting her MCA at VJTI Mumbai — one of the most prestigious institutes in Maharashtra. “This isn’t the end of a journey. It’s the beginning,” she smiles.
