Man how can they give 5 parts to a 6 marks question.

Hell The easiest question on Portfolio Management Took good 20 minutes. All for 6 marks..Institue should wake up and ask someone to solve paper before they publish it.

Paper was easy !!! No second thoughts.

Point is: ICAI should focus on quality of exams. Every CBSE paper is published only after teacher estimate if it can be completed in 2.30 Hours or not. I am marking a mail to President and Sundry.At times paper is a copy paste of last 10 attempts and at times it is difficult like hell. CFA-US design paper in such a way that the difficulty levels are kep at the same level.

MAFA is never a War. Its a sweet revenge --:-))

And other questions on Mutual fund and dividend were also similer to past questions. Except 1st question and theory questions one can easily do well.	"
