Hi ,I am CA Final year student . I am working with an MNC in Pune as an Financial Analyst . My Problem is that I am unable to prepare adequately for final exams . due to insufficient time I am unable to join classes or do studies through a coaching . Can anybody guide me what could be the best approach for self study . I mean to ask which are the best books which would guide me step by step in my preparation especially in subjects like : Costing , Indirect taxes ( Covering Numerous Probs ) , Direct Taxes ( Step by Step againg Covering Numerous Probs ) & last but not the Least MICS . Also how much time minimum will I be required to put now onwards every day & every two days ( which are holidays for me ) of the weekend . How do I go ahead with the problems & theory combination to cover up the entire syllabus with good revision so as to aim for Nov 2008 ( Both Groups ) . I would Like to mention here that I Have done my Intermidiate on self basis only ( While Completing Articles ) but syllabus of PE2 & Final is a Huge Difference . I am not in a position to leave the job as I am the sole bread earner for the family & the job would hardly spare 3-4 Hours a day for me except for Saturday & Sundays which i can have in full . Any body Please guide me as I see my future bleak given the short time , Circumstances & Condotions on My Life . I shall really Really be very appreciative & thankfull to him . Please Guide & Help .

Hi Gufran, I also prepared CA inter and final on self-study basis and fortunately cleared also, so i am in a position to share something. First, don't worry if you can't take coaching. What is now important is to concentrate on single group in place of both as I don't see enough time for both. If you can put 4 hrs daily and 2 full days in a week, you can think of single group. But it is going to be very painful to study with work, so it would be really good if you can get 15 days leave just before exams. I don't see any problem in this as you can save your leaves from now on and avail in Oct.
Regarding books, IDT : Ajay Jain or Deepak Gupta's notes (I opted Ajay jain) DT : V.K.Gupta's notes (will be enough) Cost & OR : Sanjay Agarwal or Rajesh Makkar's notes (I opted Sanjay Agarwal) MICS : Dinesh Madan FM : Rajesh Makkar or J.B. Gupta's notes (I opted for Rajesh Makkar) Accounting Standards : M.P. Vijay Kumar (book)
Try if can put time in morning. Can take on theory in week days (though not easy) and practicals in weekend. Best of luck
