23-year-old overcomes disability to crack CAT 2020, aspires to become entrepreneur
Anand Rajkumar Mishra has notched up 99.92 percentile in the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2020 despite spinal muscular atrophy.
After completing his graduation, he applied for CAT in 2019. Even though he had cracked the entrance exam by scoring 73 percentile, he was not satisfied with his performance and attempted for the exam once again in 2020. Mumbai-based Anand Rajkumar Mishra has notched up 99.92 percentile in the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2020 despite spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disorder that makes it difficult for him to walk without braces.
Mishra, however, did not let it affect his studies. Born in a family of four siblings, all of whom are doctors, the 23-year-old always had an affinity towards trading and finance which motivated him towards a B-school. He aspires to join any of IIM-Ahmedabad, Bangalore, or Calcutta or Delhi University’s Faculty of Management Studies.

“I had joined coaching to crack IIT entrance exam but during that time I used to study books related to finance, billionaires, and biography of successful people. I started developing an interest in trading. However, I studied science as it was considered the right stream for meritorious students,” said Mishra, who studied B.Tech in project management.
