If you will give both the groups there is a chance of setoff ........

suppose passing marks in group 1 & 2 is 150 each

and you scored 140 in first group and 160 in 2nd group....u r qualified

but if u r giving one grp u will not gate such benefits.....

It depends on your preparation and availability of time along with your capability to handle both group at a time. As per my understanding one should go for single group. My suggestion is not baseless and based on long term professional success and further supported by the following points:

1. By giving one group one can fully concentrate on true and expert examination preparation.

2. By giving one group one can fully utilize his/her time and gain full knowledge of course.

3. According to me group clearance is not the only parameter of success.

4. By giving one group this time one can arrange some time for himself/herself which is very important. Self assessment is also important.

5. Appearance in both group is not a guarantee of success.

These points are based on my personal thinking and helped me a lot in my professional exam preparation and prevent me from failure along with good application of my knowledge.

I personally feel that a reasonable distinction is required to be drawn between quick success and long term professional success with good knowledge.

Yup...it is fact that sometimes students who cleared both group get preference over others. But let me tell you at the end of the day it is your depth of knowledge and attitude which matters.

I think you can go for both groups as you have ample time to your credit and IPCC is not that big like CA Final. All the best

@ Anurag

Brother after clearing my cpt i was also in the same confusion , i had cleared in June 2012

And now i am giving my both groups in Nov 2013

I think by doing this you can actually come to know what actually the pressure is and and how to deal with it .....and yeah at some point it get some priority over single group
