Necessity of Coaching for IPCC

Arun (CA) (293 Points)

10 August 2010

I had joined a coaching centre for my IPCC(both groups,may 2011 attempt) I am not at all satisfied there(nearly 600 members in a hall,suffocating, and much time waste,nearly 1 hr while entering and exiting,the coaching timing are 6 am to 6pm,the teaching was very slow and average) and i so I stopped attending temporarily(one week passed by). I am reffering to books and i am able to understand all the topics very clearly. But I feel tensed that I am taking risk. I managed to score 158/200 in my cpt(june 2010 attempt) with 2months preperation(Science background and own preperation. I am prescribing that because may be any estimation could be done on me).could any one suggest me whether i am doing right?

Hi Arun

First of all you can do all the subjects on self study basis because many of other students also did, but as u r from a science background, its better to attend for Tax class as told by others and other subjects you can do self study if u can able to implement ur study timetable perfectly. For theory part of all group 1 subjects, stick to institute modules, they are nicely explained in a simple manner. Regarding practical problems, you refer the below books:

Accounts-Hanif & Mukherjee or PC Tulsian

Law ethics and communication - Inst. module

Costing- P C Tulsian

FM - PC Tulsian

Taxation - Singhania.

For all theory parts, I advbise you to study the theory content given only in Inst. module. If you want to study more theory part then refer above standard books theory, otherwise stick to inst. module and for practicals u refer above standard books. In addition, you MUST refer d Suggested Answers of previous papers and RTP, MTPs etc contained in ICAI website (under Students Menu-BoS Sub Menu) for download. As you are giving your attempt in may 2011, there is ample time to prepare a good schedule and to score more marks Reg. 2nd group for SM subject also u refer Inst. module itself. Reg. other subjects let our seniors advise. All the best.

Yes off course as you would not be in touch with latest amendments which are made in the statute.

yes incum tax is too much to do on ur own wid no buk available in simplified language..tax language is alwaya a lil typical..so its comlplicated...u need lot of patience to do it on ur own..
