These days, most students are under pressure—high package, government job, comparison, competition. In all this noise, very few people talk honestly about career and life. Vikash Agnihotri is one of those rare people.
He is from Bharathna, Etawah and an MCA graduate (2013 batch) from BITS Ranchi. Today, he works in a reputed multinational company and earns around ₹60 lakh per year. But what really inspires people is not his salary—it’s how clearly he thinks about career choices.
His Simple Advice to Juniors-
In a casual evening discussion, Vikash sir said something very practical:
“Don’t blindly run after package numbers or government jobs.
First understand what you are interested in.
Then work hard to become good at it.
Long-term success comes only when you enjoy your work.”
This advice sounds simple, but it comes from real experience.
MCA: A Strong Option for Non-Computer Students-
If you are doing B.Sc, BCA, or BA (non-computer background) and feel confused about the future, Computer Science can be a very good option.
One of the best ways to enter this field is through MCA (Master of Computer Applications).
You can get admission by cracking exams like:
- NIMCET
- CUET PG
Good ranks can get you into top institutes like:
- NIT Trichy, Allahabad, Delhi
- DU
- JNU
A good institute really changes your career direction.
How Vikash Agnihotri Prepared for NIMCET / CUET PG-
His success didn’t come overnight. He followed a clear and disciplined routine.
1. Regular Study Was the Key-
He studied regularly with MaaRula Classes.
According to him, studying daily matters more than studying for long hours once in a while.
2. Making His Own Notes-
He always made his own notes while studying.
This helped him:
- Understand concepts properly
- Revise faster before exams
- Remember things for a longer time
Self-made notes helped him a lot during revision.
3. Daily Practice-
He regularly solved Daily Practice Problems (DPPs) given by his teachers.
This improved:
- Basic concepts
- Speed
- Confidence
Studying concepts and practicing daily went hand in hand.
4. Tests and Honest Analysis-
He gave regular mock tests like the UDGAM Test Series.
But more importantly, he analyzed each test:
- Where he went wrong
- Which topics were weak
- How to manage time better
Just giving tests is not enough. Learning from mistakes is what matters.
5. Previous Year Questions-
He practiced NIMCET and CUET PG previous year questions using Mathem Solvex.
PYQs helped him understand:
- Exam pattern
- Level of questions
- What to expect in the real exam
His Final Advice to Aspirants-
Vikash sir believes that success comes from doing simple things properly:
- Study relevant topics only
- Be regular every day
- Give tests frequently
- Analyze mistakes honestly
- Focus more on weak areas
Competitive exams are not about studying everything.
They are about studying the right things consistently.
The Real Message-
A 60 LPA package should not be the first goal.
First goal should be:
- Clear basics
- Knowing your interest
- Regular hard work
- Right guidance
If you are an undergraduate student and feeling lost, MCA through NIMCET or CUET PG can be a turning point.
Vikash Agnihotri’s journey clearly shows:
Right guidance + Regular effort + Clear thinking
= Big results
