general doubt

only institute material is not sufficient...

tuitions are advisable,

if you are not attending tuitions- get good reference books for all the subjects..

if you go by your own- 1 year time would be needed to prepare yourself..!

List of reference books commonly used-

1) A/c - M P Vijay Kumar,+ A/c standard - Rawat

2) Mafa- Pattabi Raman

3) Audit- Vinod Agarwal or Kamal Garg

4) Law- Munish Bhandari

5) Cost Mgmt- Paduka

6) MICS- Institute MAT is gud enough, although some use Dinesh Madan

7) DT- T N Manoharan

8) Bangur

Along with the above books- it is recommended to get compilation of the past solved papers- it is very important..!
