Can CA Foundation be done without coaching

1801 views 6 replies

Many students often wonder whether CA Foundation can be cleared without coaching. Is it really possible to prepare on your own just with ICAI study material and self-discipline, or is professional guidance necessary to understand the concepts better? Can self-study alone be enough to score well in all four papers, or does coaching provide the extra support and strategies required to crack the exam?

It can be done without coaching. ICAI material and self-discipline are also enough to clear this stage.

But coaching gives you different insights that you yourself might not discover.

Books will help you with how, what etc. Practice will give you skills. But listening to a learned person will give you WHY ... that clears logic...

Study a chapter by yourself and then go through some YouTube Videos... on that chapter... See if you find any Value addition...

And TIME is very important... If you take 4 hours to study by yourself, it might take an hour or so with good classes.

Yes, if you are consistent & dedicated towards studies. You can pass the exam without coaching.

I too passed exam with coaching. 

Great! Did you watch any youtube videos?

No, even I would not recommend you to watch them too. Youtube Teachers will not take doubts, and sometimes I saw they teach you wrong concepts too. Youtubeki credibility nai hai. Best is your ICAI study material. Haan Law samjh nai aati 1st baar mein to meri didi lawyer hain, I took her help in that subject.

Okay great! thankx for advice
