I remember thr was a question in law "Importance of communication"....how absurd...would u call tht tough if thr r no case studies...a kid with a minimum IQ can attempt it...ICAI needs to raise the quality of papers...Audit paper was totally ipcc based...atleast audit should b different (question papers) for ipcc n pcc....pcc students hav ample practical xperience of auditing field, so i think tht paper should b more on case laws...the paper i gave yday was nothing more than a bcom audit paper...I'm happy it was good though :P

Also, I'd just like to mention one point to all my friends here. It's the ICAI, at least as far as Auditing and Assurance is concerned there is no higher or alternative body in the country. Let them be the best judge of what is important and what should be asked.

i totally agree

now wht all of yuh..xpecting frm 2morrows IT/SM xam.....!!!!!

harsh comment!!! but absolutely true...!! it was my fault that i went in flow of history and thought practical question would be ample to compensate the shortcomings of Law paper (I did not give Law paper)....

@ nimish- thanks friend

I don't know whether the paper was meant to be for B.Com. or IPCC.....:(

Your Comment on Law exam is not fair.

Boss, I hope you must have gone through the President/Vice President/ BOS chairman's messages in CA Students' Journal. Not single time, they said many times, " since exams are practical based, students must not resort to rote learning " . Moreover, the law exam from past many attempts came practical case studies based.

Agreed, that nowhere it is written that direct theoritical questions will not be asked,but I would like you to justify such messages by the " President/Vice President/ BOS chairman " ..

Agreed that law exam was not tough, but it was not fair to give such questions, when the esteemed positionholders @ Institute said about the pattern of exam being changed from theory to practical. That is why most of us prepared the exam in flow with practical approach.. which didnt came , and it was a shocker for us !

Those who says law exam was normal, hats off to them !!

Also, if possible,  pls throw some light of the usefullness of " 24 marks communication " portion in the exam.. whats the relevance of such pure "bookish" level thing in CA profession ? On the other hand, being very useful in practical life ,  How can they neglect the notices/deeds/affidavits  etc , ? 

I had always been telling that there is something grossly wrong with the academic wing of ICAI and I maintain that. There are on the constant look out for the examiners . It is said that many  examiners are not even CAs. . Good articles on how to keep your moral up at exam etc okay to keep you going  when you are depressesd but the sad fact remains that it is your confidence during those three  hours . Something again I can tell you.  long answers do get good marks if at least partly they touch the moot point not otherewise. Secondly good points are never ignored even if your answer is short. Buck up guy. Be you own boss. likes of people like me are past our peak times. Our advice will confuse you more. OK ???

guyz was there a single question which was out of syllabus, and hasnt been this obviuos from past 4 exams that ICAI is following the policy of back to the basics, so why crib now... and according to me it should have been a breeze for those who do practicle training.

@ minnal yea forgot abt the 7th question..

basically everything comes from everywhere...!!

ppl are commenting like icai did this icai did tat...blah blah...

i mean its my 3rd attempt...i jst hav got used to all this pattern change,questions,etc etc...its NORMAL now..it is CA aftr all...was is the use if EVERYONE can pass??!! give a thought to tat...

thought they had said ther wil be practical questions or costing shall have atleast 50 marks...u just cannot help it , u can only crib, point out the issues in conventions but it wont change . Until u, after going through the system , get into the system (after becoming a CA) ... change it urself...

this is just pcc/ipcc imagine finals..!!

how ever the question paper may be... if you prepare well no need to worry.
