Hi Nihar
Too many opinions would spoil the party completely. Just take it easy. Though some people advice you to attend classes, while some don't, the surest thing about classes in general, is that, it saves lots and lots of time. At IPCC Level, you are barely left with 10 odd months for your exams, and in those ten months you are required to study 6 subjects over papers. And these are not your school exams or the mediocre commerce grad exams which you can read over night and secure 90.
For the CA IPCC, I would suggest attend classes fora s many subjects as is possible. At the same time, have a check on your finances as well. Being a Chennaite, though I would recommend classes at Chennai, I wouldn't advice you on moving out of your place during IPCC preparation time. First identify good faculties in your place, and then attend their classes. Follow the books recommended / suggested by them, and that is the best option. And start early for the classes. Ensure that outside of class hours, you are left with atleast three months to prepare for your exams. And do carry a knife / gun in your bag, so that, if by any chance, somebody advises you to take group by group, or tell something about how difficult is CA course, finish them off just there!
On a personal front, if you can afford to come down to Chennai and take up your classes, I would suggest to go for either Prime Academy or Shri Guru Kripa. They take care of your books as well.
More than anything, stay confident and happy during your preparation stage. Don't get intimidated by any seniors around you. After all every body is a human, and more than a lakh have passed before you, and lakhs will pass after you.
All the very best.
