hello to all.... don't worry with the marking scheme.... each and every correct steps of yours in a problem will be awarded with step marks.... take amalgamation for ex: for the total marks of 16, say your purchase consideration will carry 4 marks (even for that 4 marks, they have break up, say PC payable to equity shareholders 2 marks, for preference shareholders 2 marks), for journal entries in the books of transferor 4 marks, in the books of transferree another 4 marks (again the total marks will be splitted and each entry will carry mark) and for the amalgamated balance sheet another 4 marks(and beleive me, for writing each and every item of correct assets and liability balance 1/2 mark will be awarded).... thus, even when u have not worked the problem fully u can atleast score half of the total marks.... this is the way to approach each n every question, n rest assured, u can easily pass with flying color.... like wise, with regard to bad presentation, it usually doesn't catch the wrath of the examiner.... for that matter, institute has asked the examiners not to deduct any marks for spelling or grammatical mistakes made by students.... so don't worry and prepare well for the forthcoming exams.... for any kinds of doubts and clarfications, feel free to msg.... ALL THE BEST FOR THE REMAINING EXAMS....

dude u r appearing for CA exam.

ICAI can ask anything which is mentioned in the syllabus.

Pratically costing is different when u r in pratice.But for passing exam u have to do what ICAI does

WHEN IN ROME DO AS THE ROMANS DO.

whoever found it difficult are seriously the ones who have not studied well.

For me , it was damn easy.

our work is to study the subject and gain knowledge.Study COST and FM by reading institute material and good fruitfull text book and RTP, suggested answers.dont go for selective study and dont follow paper trend baseless suggestion about exam paper pattern and setting of paper. we are not paper setters and or paper checker ,bare in mind its a professional course.jyada husiyaari bahut buri hothi hai.

Be optimist and full on confidence is must in our course. i want to remind u that we are not paper setter or paper checker. all the best.
