I cleared CPT in June with 132 marks with self study. And now trying to clear firs group of IPCC in may 2011. I know IPCC is just playing a test Match after a t20 match. But I think I can clear it in very first attempt as I am familiar with these subjects in degree level. But..... Many of people when I saying Self study, they discouraging me by saying it is tough and even students from brilliant institutes cant clear it.
My question is what is your openion about
1.self study with willingess is enough
2.why they discourage us? Is it a good practice?
3. Todays All CAs are gone to tution?
