HOW TO WIN ICAI CUP 2011- PART 1

Whole nation is searching the answer to the question, “Will India win the World Cup???”

But the most important question for a CA student is “Will I be able to clear my attempt i.e. win my cup??”

Well this is not a very difficult question to answer and basically the answer and solution to the above mentioned questions are almost the same. In both the cases end result is divided into 2 main parts –

(i)            Preparations

(ii)        Match/Exam Day

  

PART 1 – PREPARATIONS

(A)         KNOW YOUR OPPOSITION

 Before starting any battle you s’d know each and everything about your opponent. We have 3 oppositions in CA- CPT, IPCC & FINAL.

Just like in world cup you s’d take one match at a time otherwise it can prove to be fatal. If you are in group stage then there is no point discussing about Semi-Final or Final, same goes with CA too. If you are in CPT don’t bother abt. IPCC or Finals. Know about your subjects, ICAI syllabus, scoring areas and decide the time which you s’d allot them. You can refer scanners for the same.

I have seen many students who don’t even know about the syllabus of their subjects.   

 

(B)          NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OPPOSITION

“Abe maine 12th phod diya CPT toh mere liye halwa hai” (I have scored 92% in my 12th class so CPT/IPCC is a piece of cake for me).

Bro think again. Who can forget the INDIA V/s BANGLADESH or PAK V/s IRELAND MATCH in 2007 WC. They were the biggest upsets of all time. So if you want to avoid such things then respect your opposition first.

I agree that CPT is a bit easy way to clear the 1st stage of this esteemed profession but then also it the minimum requirement to proceed further. If you have performed well in your boards then it means that you possess the necessary potential to clear your exam but what is required it to convert it into result with a great deal of hard work & determination.

(C)          BUILD YOUR TEAM

To compete in a match you need to build a good balance team i.e. Batsman, Bowler & All-rounder. In CA team refers to good coaching/tuition, reference books, suggested, scanners & last but not the least study group.

Coaching definitely plays an important role and so do good reference books. Choose them wisely as they are like an Investment decision of Capital Budgeting which is irreversible.

Try to avoid the company of negative people who keeps on criticizing ICAI or CA course.

If you believe in combined study or study groups then be choosy in choosing the dedicated partner.

Avoid people who say:-

“Yaar Kahan Phas Gaye CA mein acche khasi life chod kar” or “ Kal padhte hai aaj padhke koi top thode hi kar lenge” – Beware of such guys         

(D)         PARTNERSHIP WITH CONSISTENCY

I still remember the saying of my fav. Teacher Ashish Kalra Sir “Main toh tumhari tumhare subject se pehchaan karaoonga baaki dosti karma tumhara kaam hai i.e. I will introduce you to the subject but to excel in it depends on you”. 

 So keep solving the questions and develop interest in it. For Practical subjects like Costing you need consistency i.e. keep practicing more and more q’s. In theory you have to read the matter again and again.

Arrey ek baar samajh nahi aaya toh agli baar aayega warna ek aur baar. Jitni baar karoge utna clear hota jaayega i.e. the more you practice more you understand the subject matter.

 World cup jeetne ke liye uski tayaari kaafi pehle shuru karni hoti hai.

 (E)          PRACTICE MATCHES

In CA it refers to last week before your exams. You don’t need to do something different. Just focus on your basics and solve past papers and revise from concept copy.

So this completes the 1st part and 2nd part will deal with Exam Day.

“If you are in CPT don’t bother abt. IPCC or Finals.”

 

 

 

I think we should plan the whole course in advance after registering as a CA student. This we can do by consulting with some professional or any other knowledgeable person in this field with the help of our parents/relatives/friends. It is advisable to do so because after clearing CPT a great amount of time is wasted in deciding the following matters:-

1.    Whether to go for single or both group?

2.    Which books to refer or ICAI material is enough?

3.    Which subjects require coaching or whether to take coaching for all subjects (because friends are doing so)

4.    After clearing one group, where and how to go about regarding articleship (many will take it the other way around, you know what I want to say but I just don’t want to mention that word)

And many more……

 

By planning in advance we can save a lot of time and the journey will be smooth because we will be knowing what is and where is the next step. This keeps the student away from unwanted hassles and he/she will clear the exams with ease. The main issue now-a-days with students is how to manage the course. If time is wasted on unwanted activities then the moral of the student gets low and although he/she is in the course but instead of going strongly they just keep dragging themselves and the result is attempt after attempt.

 

“I agree that CPT is a bit easy way to clear the 1st stage of this esteemed profession but then also it the minimum requirement to proceed further. If you have performed well in your boards then it means that you possess the necessary potential to clear your exam but what is required it to convert it into result with a great deal of hard work & determination.”

 

Clearing board exams and CPT is a different thing altogether. In boards you have different subjects but here you have subjects of a particular field. If you are interested in these subjects then enter and if not don’t even think to enter because interest is the foundation stone of this course. This is not A for Apple and B for ball where you will learn a chapter by heart and answer the questions in a photocopy manner to get good marks (this is the worst part of our education system, The Cramming Parrot). If you have interest then only you can apply your mind and skills to solve the practical application/case studies otherwise only learning by heart with no interest will take you nowhere. CA exams should be made 100% case study based.

 

Coaching definitely plays an important role and so do good reference books. Choose them wisely as they are like an Investment decision of Capital Budgeting which is irreversible.

 

If students are joining the course after 12th standard then they can opt for coaching (keeping the exceptions apart) and if someone is joining after graduation then he/she can manage the course till IPCC/PCC. For Finals i’m not in a position to comment because I still haven’t entered the final stage. Regarding reference books I want to say that many times it happens that after buying a book we feel that we have made a unnecessary purchase, should have both the another one. Many students buy 2-3 writers book in the process and make an unwanted addition to their shelf. The best solution here is to join the library of the ICAI branch/chapter and take 2-3 books of a particular subject and read a same chapter from all the books and choose the best one suiting your needs (in small towns/cities where there is no branch they can consult their senior students/friends).

 

If you believe in combined study or study groups then be choosy in choosing the dedicated partner.

Commitment among each student is an important aspect in the study group. At times there will be non-productive phases during study hours because it is very much possible that when friends meet they tend to spend the time more in other activities and gossip. This has to be monitored regularly otherwise they will do more harm to them instead of benefit.

Group study also depends on individual choice. Some students prefer to study individually and some in groups. They have to decide on their own which suits them the best and decide accordingly.

 

In CA it refers to last week before your exams. You don’t need to do something different. Just focus on your basics and solve past papers and revise from concept copy.

This is applicable to students who study on a regular basis and complete their syllabus on time and starts the revision again. On other hand there are students who start learning the chapter when it’s the time for revision. For these type of students without Re Vision at exam time the chapter goes Out of Vision.

Thanks for sharing
