Is tution compulsory

No need dear , self study is really good way.

ICAI matrrial is enough for study. you may refer some reference books & suggested answers.

Yeh, tution classes provide u only guidence ...ultimatly u have to prpr....

And if u do self prpran u wll get selfconfidence .

ICAI material is good for practicle subjects...but for more practice refence books are good.

Yes, even i feel that self study is better than coaching. If you solve any problem yourself, then you cant forget that. But you should  have confidence and hard time table to get success through self study. Most important thing is your TIME TABLE.

Who said that coaching is compulsory for  c.a or other exam. As i know that their is lots  of the C.A . IAS, IPS  who had not taken any type of coaching and topped.....

I can give my own example. I did not go for any coaching either in PE II or Final, and scored 64 % marks in both groups. So its not essential that only through coaching you can pass the exam, your spirit and confidence metters. So I always say that keept confidence and have proper TIME TABLE for your study. The word TIME TABLE is most important and dont feel study as boring thing, bcause only study will matter for your future. So dont think of your present only, also plan for future...

No coaching is not mandatory and you may 100% go for self study. But for self study you have to observe some pre-conditions which are as follows:

1. Keep discussing imp topics with your friends.

2. Update yourself with latest changes.

3. Strictly follow a time table or your schedule for study.

4. Exchange your notes with your friends taking coaching.

5. Be confident about what you are doing.
