IPCC Study Schedule for Preparations

READING AND EXAMINATION PLANNING

Dear All CA Club India friends,

I am Bhavin Pathak. I am back with some new and innovation thinking of CA studies. I personally think that IPCC is not very hard as we all are thinking. I also failed in my first attempt of IPCC. Now, its time to cope-up from failure, if any one failed in their attempt and who will appear first time they also can crack it in its first/this attempt. If we plan our studies very carefully then we can crack. The big reason of my failure is that I never done planning for my studies. I saying this because this can be happen to anyone. I accept that I failed but this is not a full stop of my career and my life. So, I provide some useful tips given by my elders and my friends who are already in CA Final. I provide planning of our studies provided by my mentors after discussion. The planning that I provide can be differing from person to person because it is not authentic. The reason behind that is some student give only one group and some student will give second group and some friends will appeared for both group. I advise everyone here that student should be appearing in both the groups, the advantage of Set-off and Exemption can be taken only when they are appearing for both the groups.

I provide you all planning for IPCC reading and revision. After completion of the whole course the biggest question arises is that How to study? I provide the all subjects and chapterwise time allotment on the basis of the discussion with experts of CA Club India and friends.

Some useful points should be noted:

1.��� This planning is for both groups. If you are preparing for any one group then the time allocated in the planning for second group can be allotted for one group and vice versa.

2.��� I rated chapter in three categories

������ Most important,

�� �� Important,

����� Less important

Note:

Theory is also important. Therefore friends must allot prescribed for theory for practical subjects like Accounts and Costing & FM.

The ratings are on the basis of past examination trend and experience of experts. This doesn�t mean that some chapters are not important. Less important chapters can be omitted if some friends started their preparation very late. Student can give less time on their expertise chapters and that time should be given to those chapters which are not well-prepared by them.

3.��� Use this hour allocation properly. Continuity of learning process is must

4.��� I kindly advice everyone who failed in their last attempt that and who will give their first attempt that they can make changes according to their preparation because so many friends are studying by self and some friends go for tuitions and coaching.

5.��� This is not a rigid planning. While you are preparing for this planning you can adjust some hours in entertainment also because it is also necessary.

6.��� If some student complete the particular chapter before the prescribe time then they can adjust their timing according to the importance of the chapters.

7.��� This is standard time allocation means that one average student should take this much timings in that particular chapter. If any student take more than the prescribe time then don�t think that they are not well-prepared but think that they use the timing very deeply and investing their time to understand more.

8.��� Student can change their subjects according to their course and their course�s chapters. Some student will give their PCC exams while some will appear in IPCC.

9.��� Quality matters not quantity. So take much time to understand any concept thoroughly.

10.Use your time wisely. Success is yours.

Suggestions are always welcome. I will really feeling happy if this will help you.

Remember 5 things:

1.��� If not you who else will pass, if not now, when else you can pass.

2.��� Where the determination is great, the difficulties cannot be great.

3.��� We should not let failure go into our heart, and success into our head.

4.��� �CA� does not mean Come Again, but it only means �Certainly Achievable�.

5.��� Three years of hard work could lead you to 30 years of bliss. But if you Plan for three years of bliss, you will end with 30 years of self-defeating slog.

ALL THE BEST
