Last attempt of OLD COURSE-better convert to new course ??

Well i think definitely the new course passing %age will be higher than the old one as institute wants to encourage students to move to new one.  This trend has been observed in the past for PE-2 and PCC and even in may10 exams passing %age of old (both grps) was mere 3.6% as compared to 6.4% of new course and same is expected in nov exams. Hence your frind seems to be correct as far as passing chances in terms of %age is concerned.

However now almost 90 days are left.  Switching to new course will mean that some additional things will have to be studied in 6 subjects except DT/IDT.  Moreover the pattern of new course is slightly different from old one. 

Your friend can consider switching to new course, but before that do give a look to difference in syllabus and paper structure.  If he thinks that he will be able to cover that in addition to old syllabus (bcoz only better passing %age won't ensure passing if you dont do well in exams) then YES new course can be a good option for ur friend.
