Hi Rajeev,

Good you think of starting it now itself. Ensure you are studying everyday without fail atleast 2 hours and use the holidays fully without any exemption. So that you will really will achieve the goal.

Whether appear in both the groups or in one group, it depends on how you prepare.

There are also lot of videos available in the market for all the subjects, if you wish you can purchase it for references.

Books for reference.

Financial reporting - M P Vijayakumar

Accounting standards - Rawat

SFM - S D Bala or Padhuka (there are lots of books available for SFM in the market)

Audit - Pankaj garg or padhuka

Law - Munish bandhari

AMA - Padhukas or tulsian

ISCA - Manish Valechha or padhuka

DT - T N Manohar

IDT - Bangar

along with this you need to do the practice manual of ICAI.

The above mentioned books are mentioned as per my opinion. Opinion may differ from people to people.

But which ever book you choose stick to it dont keep on hopping on all the books.

Also ensure that you are studying everyday without fail. Prepare your self a plan for studying based on the availability of time for you and stick to it.

All the very best.

CA is certainly achievable if our plan is clear.

I agree with the the above with small changes...for AMA & ISCA without 2nd thought go with padhuka books.

As you have less time I would suggest you to prepare first group completely and there is enough time you have for first group . You have to study at least 3 to 4 hour a day. Prepare icai practice manual and RTP thoroughly along with reference books . If you find paduka bulky in audit you can study from Surbhi bansal but don't forget to prepare practice manual.

Prepare atleast 50% in each subject and then tryto do above 90% in atleast One.i.e 240% of whole course. Try to achieve it 100% you will clear. My strategy I passed all groups like this with distinction in at least one subject in all four groups.

Even if u take coachings they are of no use. Atlast it's what you have to put in..I took 3 coachings and I didnt find them useful for my ca final except for DT.
