Hi Friends

I have worked out a timetable for IDT and Costing covering most of the chapters. Direct Tax is what I am most afraid of. Here is my plan for the DT. Please review and let me know if I can clear the paper with this level of preparation.

Direct Tax laws:

Complete all case laws provided by ICAI
Read the supplementary study Paper issued by ICAI
Complete wealth tax
Read the RTP and Suggested answers for last 2 years
Complete the current RTP
Read as much as I can from the Revision class notes provided by R.SoumyaNarayanan. (The books says it covers 60-70% of marks)

Will these be sufficient to give a good show in the paper and get around 50 marks?

Please let me know your valuable suggestions.

Sure. It isn't the best. But I hope it works.

1. Complete Caselaws, Supplementary study paper etc provided by ICAI (covers 25 marks)

2. Valuation of Customs, central excise, ST & VAT (covers 25 marks)

3. Then read RTP and SA of last 2 years

4. Finally theory of Customs (which is quite interesting to read) and theory of CE. I am planning to leave theory of ST&VAT since I am not good at those topics.

I think the last 2 points will help me score some 15 - 20 marks.

Since I already have 71 in ISCA I think this much preparation should be enough because I only need around 44% aggreagate now.

Hope it helped.
