self study or classes for ca final

SOLELY DEPEND ON YOU ....

I have joined all classes for Final. Many people (including my Sir) told that this is useless and waste of money. But dude, it afterall depend on you. What you feel better is IMP. I listened my own and joined all classes.

Benefit of classes are you get aware of what is there in syllabus, you get latest updates in class, you start getting interest in subject (all this is possible only if you pay your attention to faculty and not to other stuff)

Loss in joinig classes may be waste of money and waste of time. But i think, money is very secondary to anyone in front of CA designation and waste of time can be minimized with proper time mgmt.

very rightly said

u know i had cleared ca inter long back never ever appered for final join business and then in july i started to get that i want to be a ca i dnt know till 10 july what to do then i had converted myself into new course and given the exam in nov and i m quite happy the way i perform and really there that i m going to got clear

Personally I feel that Self study is a very good option for every student because without self study it is very difficult to clear any examination. The main reason behind this thinking is coaching also involves a remarkable amount of self study. Successful self study may give you an incredible amount of confidence to deal with any kind of subject or course.

Further we have to understand one more thing quite clearly that self study or coaching classes are not the sole deciding factor as far as success in professional examination is concerned. You may find various examples around you. There are many students who have cleared their exams quite easily just by doing self study and some of the students who have taken coaching are still struggling or vice versa. So the main decisive factor is your honest efforts and commitment towards your preparation and nothing else.

ROLE OF TEACHERS/SENIORS IN SELF STUDY

1. Proper guidance regarding how to start your study from your teacher or from some senior student is very much important rather I would say it is indispensible.

2. Have regular discussions with your friends or seniors regarding exam oriented topics which you simply failed to understand during self study.

3. Selection of correct reference books is another essential pre-condition for self study. It is also advisable to collect all the reference books well in advance. One more thing time to time reference from your study module is also very important.

4. Kindly consider this point as a serious advice. During self study most of the time you study alone without interaction to anyone else. So self study may be a failure if you continue your prepare without interaction with anybody else. Remember a healthy and a light chit-chat can give your brain a much awaited relaxation and energy.

5. There are certain topics like direct tax at Final level for which special preparation or specific coaching is required and self study may not be sufficient from the point of view of conceptual clarity. So discuss these topics with your friends or with any experienced faculty/student to bring clarity of concept.

ROLE OF TIME MANAGEMENT IN SELF STUDY

6. Another pre-condition for self study is availability of time. Going for self study may be a bit risky when there is lack of time like you are preparing for other professional course simultaneously or busy in your job etc. In other words ample amount of time to study and superior time management plays an important role in self study.                                               

7. Time management and study routine also plays an important role during self study. If you are not able to follow a set routine of study than in that case self study may be a complete disaster as in self study there is always a danger of lack of discipline.

8. Let me tell you a very important thing rather a fact that coaching also involves self study where as self study does not involve coaching. Reason behind this observation is that in coaching classes only concepts are discussed once or twice. But you have to understand those concepts on your own by self study only. A teacher can only teach you the method and discuss one or two examples but ultimate effort is required from your side to understand that method by practice of more questions connected with that particular method.
