Ahmedabad:

Razin Mansuri, 22, son of an air conditioner repairman and a resident of Ahmedabad, had scored 96.2 percentile in the Common Admission Test ((CAT) 2021 and was eligible for admission in IIM-Udaipur.

But Mansuri was not satisfied with his results so he decided to give it another shot and his efforts paid off as Mansuri scored 99.78 percentile making his chances for an admission in IIM-Ahmedabad or IIM-Bangalore quite high.

Mansuri completed his engineering in IT from Ahmedabad University in May this year. His father earns about 25,000 per month. Razin, his father Irfan Mansuri, mother Sabiha, and his younger brother Rehan live in a one-bedroom house in Juhapura.

As my family’s economic condition is weak, right from high school I have mostly studied on scholarships. After completing high school from CN Vidyalaya, I took admission in Ahmedabad University and completed engineering in IT. I again got a scholarship in AU as my performance was good,” Mansuri told TOI. He said that after he completed engineering he was offered jobs with a Rs 6 lakh annual salary. “I did not take the offer as my dream was to get admission in IIM, preferably in IIM-A or IIM-B.

I started preparing for CAT and took the test in 2021. However, as I did not take any coaching I got 96.20 percentile. I was not satisfied with the result and decided to take the exam again in 2022,” Mansuri said.

He added that he enrolled for a coaching class for CAT 2022  as it charged him only half the fees. “It is an exceptional achievement given his family background and financial struggles. I am sure he will be a great student for any top IIM,” said Satish Kumar, head of the coaching class where Mansuri trained.

Once I pass out from IIM, I want to give back to society what I received from it. I want to help as many students as I can in their education,” Mansuri said.
