Studies after a very long time - need help

Hi Everybody, I am working in a company and am 26 years old, have cleared 1st group of PCC in 2010 and now left with COSTFM, Tax and IT SM, these days Unit 8 of IPC.

I am not in touch with studies from last 3 years, and willing to give Nov 15 exams and get it cleared and then step into FINALS.

Could anyone please help me out the best way to get into studies with my job going as I am the eldest one in the family. Self studies would be more effective & better OR taking online CCI Classes, as I can't go out and have classes due to time constraints in job.

Waiting for your valuable suggestions !!

If you are not weak with the paper of CostFM, self study is sufficient

and for Tax and ITSM self study alone is sufficient appropriate

Taking online classes from caclubindia will be beneficial ?

How is the quality of the classes, does anybody know?

I don't about online classes of Cci, I would suggest cost fm, regular self study. Keep revising all daily. For it Sm and tax, U need a. lot revision with proper conceptual study. It Sm .. needs a lot times revision and conceptual clarity too. If you can study from available videos (on YouTube ) and memory techniques .. then you can crack.. Also refer pm, Rtp, mtp for all and suppl for tax... All the very best!

Hello Shubham,

For Tax - V.K. Singhania

For ITSM - study material + Practice Manual.

Please don't study from singhania, its way toooo much. Girish ahuja' book is appropriate. (If you have a teacher ) Amit Jain's book is best for self study but it lacks enough questions. You can buy scanner to supplement those. But still I'd say self study route is risky for a vast subject like tax. If you plan on leaving job, take coaching from satellite institutes or a popular local teacher. If you don't, get CCI pen drives- you don't have an option. Cafm- best books are ashish kalra's sir. It sm are 2 subjects you can easily do with self study. Institute books should be good. For an even easier version, dinesh madan's book would help. Never underestimate sm, pm, rtp, mtp. Cover the whole of it. My advice would be don't leave job now. CA is not Sth you should gamble a lot on. Wish you good luck.

Now a days ICAI is just checking memory retention capacity of students.... do study from any book but ratta maro answers ka... icai study material is the best one.. you can get ICAI lectures on DVD also.
