Ahmedabad Mirror of Times of India says this(https://www.ahmedabadmirror.com/index.aspx?Page=article§name=News%20-%20City§id=3&contentid=2010062120100621021902420bdfb3d1e) ________The second session of Common Proficiency Test (CPT) disappointed the students in subjects like quantitative aptitude (QA) which includes maths, statistics and economics. Unexpected objective questions on maths and statistics theory left them disappointed.**************************** Many aspiring chartered accountants had left a few chapters in “option” and chartered accountants institute’s decision to ask questions from some of these chapters simply stumped them. Said a student, “Micro economics was difficult and the questions in QA test were really twisted. Most of the questions were from chapters like Limitation, Derivatives and Integration which proved to be very difficult. Normally, these chapters do not hold great importance. And in numericals, we tried to apply the concepts but didn’t get results.”*************************** Another student complained that questions from chapters like ‘Co-ordinate Geometry’, ‘Ratio and proportion’ were not asked. “We prepared everything from these chapters. We regret focusing only on a few chapters and avoiding the others. Theory too proved to be difficult.”*********************** A few students said that the modules provided in ICAI books proved to be of great use in law, accounts and economics but they did not give any insight into QA test. Students who qualify CPT move on to the inter level of chartered accountancy programme.**********************************

My id is not deleted. But i dunno what is happening to my posts. The opening reply gets deleted; and the thread isn't listed in the Forum as well. You can ask Aldrine sir about this. He is my witness.

I am not aware of this incident in detail so it wont be right for me to comment.

From what I can read, questions of one section appeared in another - sounds sad, but doesnt come as a dissappointment because since last 2-3 yrs, these kind of things are going on. Sometimes, the question paper gets leaked, or doesnt add upto 100 marks, occassionally the results dont come on time, the revaluation process happens after the exams for next attempt are conducted.....the list of such incidents is endless. It seems ICAI is going through a bad time....it must consult an astrologer and check its stars :-)

From another thing I read, the students kept chapters at option and said that normally some chapters dont hold much of importance. Well, here i can say that 100% students are to be blamed. Students make their own assumptions and decide what is important and what is not and keep speculating about the type of questions being asked. In a way, I can also say that one of the reasons ICAI has been very harsh on some matters like that of transfers is because of students itself. I have seen that when some power is given to kids, they do not use it propperly. There have been cases of misbehaviour, multiple transfers, unprofessionalism etc earlier. I have also seen many students who would just not care about anything else except for exams and have a very exam oriented approach. However, I also feel that there are better ways to deal with such incidents and its quite unjust to adopt unconstitutional and undemcratic ways of ensuring discipline.

When there is not chapterwise weightage,then why to assume which is important and which one is not ?

And saying no questions being asked from Ratio & Prop,Co ordinate ? Didnt they noticed,two simple questions from Ratio and Proportion,and at least one(I can recall one at this tym) was asked from Co-Ordinate...

To Aldrine Sir,I dont know; his first profile has been locked. He has been emailing to the Admin but they aren't responding.__________________________________________________________- To Mr Sandip Kanoi; i had copied one article from ur website ie that was the article that questions in CA final of May2010 were out of syllabus(Most of them are from other newspaper or copied from ICAI.org). This one is of Ahmedabad Mirror/TOI and Divya Bhaskar and not Tax guru. And regarding the deletion of my threads which Aldrine sir is talking; the reason is different and not case of copying of Taxguru; i feel there is deep conspiracy against me. They may have done something with the "settings". So sir, plz dont spread rumours.

ICAI has NEVER ever tried its BEST to do anything for the students fraternity. Rather they try to put hurdles. Banning transfers,increasing fees,later processing of forms,late declaration of results; manipulation of results,MOUs with unrecongised univerities like NSOU or those who play with students' career like ignou by not declaring results in time;just to name a few. _________________________________________ICAI is never the one to provide bread and butter to the members or the fraternity. Their placement programme is erroneous,faulty and just for namesake. For practisioners; they are not gonna provide us with clients. All that happens is because of our hard work and god's blessings.___________________________ICAI has some good points also; but is vastly sorrounded by the minus points. We don't have good people in Council who works for student's benefit and all round development. Kuch logg hai; but they aren't allowed to work by the remaining who still think traditionally that students are bonded labourers.
