Hello,
I am confused whether I should go for only second group or both group. Here's my current position:
I have completed my first round of IDT, Cost and ISCA. DT is going on which I am expecting to finish by the end of this month. It means that I would be able to complete my first round of second group by the end of this month. I have took classes of Group 1 but haven't touched any subject after that. Thus, I have no clue about those subjects.
After finishing my Group 2, I will have 2 months left in which I can only revise my Group 2 or do revision along with Group 1. But latter is going to be hectic for me. My friends, who have appeared for exams before me, says that you would not be able to manage all eight subjects if you haven't revised them often.
Also, I can study for only 5-6 hours per day on an average.
So whether I should go for only single group or both the groups??

Ashi, you have clarity of thought and presentation which is evident from the framing of the question. That's a huge plus. The CA syllabus has been divided into groups for ease of administration. A person finalising company accounts cannot say he does not know MAT or Service Tax liability of the company and vice a versa. So it is better to appear for both the groups. You have the whole picture in front of you.There is an uninterrupted flow of thought.You think of the problem from all angles. As for the time constraint-You will have enough time if you study 12-14 hours a day.This way your mind does not get distracted. Best of luck !!
