My CA final first attempt is in may 2016. I only attempted group 2 in nov 2017. Due to unfavourable circumstances i could not appear for other attempts nor completed coaching of all 8 subjects. I only took coaching for isca and ama in group 2.
I took a long gap of more than a year. I want to start my preparation freshly. I want to attempt in nov 2019 attempt. Since I neither completed coaching of group1 nor qualified group2 I want shift to new syllabus??
1. If I shift to new syllabus whether my attempt will be regarded as first attempt?? Or my attempts will be counted since may 2016??
2. Which is more advantageous as of now in terms of pass %, difficulty levels , securing jobs. Please help me

The attempt which you made in November 2016 will be counted as your first attempt. On your second query, there are no easy answers and ultimately qualifying as a Chartered Accountant at the earliest is what matters.
