18 July 2012 Hi,

I must say its a brave decision you are making. However, you should understand the level of commitment, dedication and time this course demands. It would be very difficult for you to manage kids (specially if they are not into school) and study at the same time. Also, After clearing IPCC Group 1, you will have to manage your Training also.

What I am saying does not mean I am demoralising you. However, you need to consider it practically.

If you are a Graduate, you may be benefited with the exemption from CPT proposed for Graduates once it is passed. This proposal in still with the Lawmakers and not been passed yet.

For CPT, devoting 2-3 hours of quality time a day would be enough, if you have Commerce Background. If not, you may need some coaching.

All the best

18 July 2012 Hi,

Actually the answer to this question is quite subjective. Since you have kids, I can't say exactly how much quality time you would be able to spend.

Also, the time requirement may be different to different people. Some may do it in as low as 3 Hrs a day. For others even 12 hrs a day might prove to be less. It is completely dependent on how quickly you grasp things.

I also assume that you are out of studies for a long period of time. This is also important, as you may take a little more time than others to get back in rhythm.
