Dear Friends,
I would like to dedicate this brief write up to the CS Executive students which
is about how to perform well and score in the General and Commercial Law (GCL)
subject of CS Executive course.
First we have to understand that General and Commercial Law (GCL) is a
very scoring subject compare to the other subjects of CS, provided we
know the exam pattern. If you use your working knowledge of General and
Commercial Law (GCL) Acts which you have gained from ICSI study material with
good writing skills than you can score around 70 marks in
General and Commercial Law (GCL) which is very good to ensure more than
50% aggregate marks.
Kindly note only working knowledge is enough in General and Commercial Law
(GCL) with certain other facts. Reason being the acts which are there in the
General and Commercial Law (GCL) Course have no such application in your
professional working if you are working purely as a Company Secretary.

ROLE OR USE OF PREVIOUS YEARS ICSI GUIDELINES ANSWERS
General and Commercial Law (GCL) is a practical (theory based and
not numerical based) paper which needs a good presentation skills.
As per my suggestion use ICSI guidelines for previous 5 years to
understand the method of solving practical queries. One more
thing these practical queries takes very little time in exam
provided you are well aware of the technique to deal with them. This
is a very important point for time saving.
ROLE OF SCANNER IN GCL PREPARATION
Another important fact is that the ICSI repeatedly asked the same
practical queries so in this way completion of scanner is very very
important in General and Commercial Law (GCL).
Use Scanner from the very beginning. It helps you to recognize which
chapter is to be given preference.
Prepare a list of Chapter wise frequently asked questions from the
Scanner and prepare them properly. |
Another useful aspect of practical queries is that sometimes they also help you
to understand the theory written in study material. In other words you may use
the practical queries as an example to understand the theory written in study
material. Isa kehta
hain ek teer do shikar. I am sure that this suggestion would be of some
help.
Regarding chapters Id like to say that start your preparation from the small
chapters (page number wise). Refer the scanner at the same time to understand
the scheme and importance of chapter. As per my understanding main advantage of
starting with short chapters is that this trick will help you to settle your
mind with technical and legal language of General and Commercial Law (GCL).

ROLE OF STUDY MATERIAL
In General and Commercial Law (GCL) you have to deal with objective
questions which requires through knowledge of the subject. So
keeping in view this requirement we may conclude that importance of
study material cannot be denied. To deal with objective or multiple
choice questions true knowledge of topic is must and which can be
achieved by referring to the study material. |
Treat the chapters of Cr. P.C. and C.P.C. as most interesting and knowledgeable
chapters as you are going to learn about the civil and criminal law of the
country. Attach a different attitude with different chapters as itll help you
to develop an interest towards the chapter.
Make special notes for the chapter constitution of India and
grab this chapter fully as this one is the most important one. Discuss some
technical chapters like Indian Evidence Act with your friend for better
understanding. For conventional list of important chapters use Scanner.

FEW GENERAL TIPS TO DEAL WITH GCL PRESENTATION |
1.
In practical problems never start your answer with Yes or No unless you are 100%
sure. First mention the relevant provision and show/prove through your answer
how you draw the conclusion.
One more thing if by chance you are familiar with the question (previously asked
in exam) or you know the answer then start your answer
with Yes or No with full confidence and prove the same with the help of analysis
of provision.
2. Try and always mention the relevant
section along with the provision. However, if you are not sure then avoid it.
3. Always use case laws in the exam.
Prepare a special case law file especially for the preparation of
the chapter constitution of India. Learn all the case laws given
in this chapter.
4.
During your preparation try and study everything. Everything here means each and
every topic. The basic idea behind this point is that you must have something
relevant to write about the given topic.
5.
Try and make an effort to complete your paper 100%. In other words attempt full
paper of 100 marks. You may cut the length of your answer in the end as per the
availability of time.
