Hello , I am doing my IPCC now and going to give my first attempt on May 2013 . I am so confused whether to write 1 group or both the groups . Firstly I ll tell you all the factors and please help me out friends , thanks in advance . I haven't really started preparing yet , some people suggest me to write only one group because it gives us a conceptual clarity , but some advise both because if I clear it has a great value , most people write both together because they feel Information tech subject to be really tough , I don't think it ll be tough ( I am basically good with computers ) I am scared only about advance accounting . And I am bit slow in writing and doing things . So I thought of doin one group , then both ......so I am really confused please help me ....... Btw I am doing my B.com(Hons) too .

Acc to me if u have not yet started studing n if u really want to gain knowledge n concept clarity from ipcc I suggest u to give one group but if u think that u can give both groups then go ahead bcoz every person has different capacity to do things, so it depends on u. It might be possible that if u r giving both groups u might not get time to revise which is must for ipcc. ALL THE BEST.

Dear friend,

As i don't know your capacity and level of interest in studies. I assume that you can give 6 hrs a day or more. you shuld study jan to march and revise the syllabus in april. Time is neither more or less but depends on your interest and commitment. You should go for both groups but having greater emphasis on 1st group as your articleship will began only after passing 1st group.

2nd group is easy and need less time to prepare since 1 practical and 2 theory subjects. Advance accounts, Audit and It-sm can be managed in less than two months if you can grasp the basic concepts. They don;t need hard work or much time but understanding and smart work.

Best wishes

Final decision should be yours considering your own swot analysis.

Hii Sree Ganesh,

I think u should appear both groups.... with one 1 grp strongly prepared.. appear both grps as there are chnaces of set off and u clear both grps. start studying now onwards... u still have considerable time.. think positively... and gear up... i dont agree that u will get conceptual clarity only if u appear grp wise..

Be confident

Best of Luck.

appear both groups.One month serious study can make u pass.So just study for 1mth seriously and u will pass.Both group creates pressure and hence i think everyone performs better in pressure.Best of luck.it works for me .Lets see for u.Best of luck again

If you just want to pass, then you should go for both groups becoz you can pass by studying in 4 months

But if you want to ghin knowledge then i would suggest you to go for only one group

i agree that clearing both groups at one shot has great value but i feel you should be through with your concepts.

And obviously if you feel you can mangage then without thinking much jst go for it

I don’t know whether you are a fresher or already cleared 1^st year. According to me, if you are in 2^nd year you might get help from the subjects of 1^st & 2^nd year in IPCC Exam. It will help you to cover up all the papers in short time, as you have previous knowledge in the papers. But if you a fresher, you may opt for a single group to acquire thorough knowledge in the papers. It does not mean that I’m saying a fresher student of B.Com can not clear both group in 1st attempt. It depends on your commitments. So don't think too much and devote yourself in study............best of luck.............
