The purpose of the writing here is to make best strategy due to many challenges before the students.
The major wrong decisions taken by CA students are as under :
1. Not to touch the books till examinations come near. This tendency is found in most of commerce students.
(A total revolution is required to change the mentality of commerce students. If properly read all the subjects in B.Com; I am sure it is sufficient for making a good career. The only thing is required to have some vocational training in the area of interest for 2 years which could be easily undertaken as part time job while doing B.Com).
2. To appear in the examination as soon as it becomes due.
Many students appear in the examinations because these become due to appear. And they immediately get bitter taste of failure.
Once a student fails in any CA exams; he immediately loses his confidence in the studies. Hence it is my humble request to CA students and their peers to advise them not to appear in the examinations till they don't have confidence to appear in the examinations.
( How many students will follow it; is a big question).
3. Dependence on Coaching Classes :
Many students attend tuition classes till Std. XII. Accordingly; they join CA Coaching classes. The first stage of joining such classes is CPT which is almost based on Std. XII syllabus. This is one of the reason that the students who are conceptually clear; pass CPT easily. The moment he passes CPT; he gets confidence on the coaching class where he studied despite the fact that 70% of other students fail from the same coaching class. Here student thinks other students are wrong and I am fine.
Then the turn of IPCC comes. The major mistake is committed here. Students treat the coaching class as tuition class. Unfortunately, most of the so-called coaching classes are also run on the same pattern. They focus on completion of syllabus rather than to give concepts about the subjects.
It is my humble advice to the students to go for coaching only to that extent where they can't start ( don't know where to kick or click* ) a subject.
For example - Indirect Tax - the subject which is not heard by the students so far.
I wish to give some concepts about this subject :
Read carefully first two chapters of the book to have primary knowledge. Try to understand why excise duties are levied ? Why VAT is levied and why Service Tax is levied ? Just think and discuss with friends. It may be possible that you may not understand in a proper manner but you will develop curiosity about the subject.
Here I am not asking to think about that these are levied according to the Acts enacted.
After developing a curiosity over the subject; now you can refer just headings of different topics to know something more about the subject. In this way; you can develop your self learning which is a must to increase you analytical power necessary for success in CA exams.
So the students should take Coaching in a real sense in those areas where they have doubts rather than to take them as course completion centres.
Join only those coaching classes; where the faculty has practical knowledge about the subject. By this way; not only concepts would be clear but the subject would become easy to understand and more interesting.
Moreover; the students would be able to understand how a career can be made through the subject.
To be contd...... please don't post till I invite comments..........Thanks...
