I was advised to refer Pattabhiram Mafa book by experts on this site.Thanks to all of them, I am finding this book extremely easy compared to one by Khan & Jain.But Pattbhiram's book is not dealing with topics like Money market, Indian Stock Markets(theory),Business valuation. Does it mean these topics are irrelavant for exam.And also the contents of mutual funds in this book are different from those in study material/Khan &Jain. The chapter on derivatives cover more concepts than Study Material. Revising all books & also irrelavant topics(for exam) poses problem since time is short. Please guide me.
