Sir I tried makkar sir notes but not able to understand them bcoz the notes available market are placed in haphazard manner. Also i found that makkar sir has not given logic behind concepts though i think that he has much tried to explain the concepts by giving examples.

You must follow the following strategy to get good marks: 1.Make your concept clear on all topics; 2.Complete all the problems from institute resources like compilations,RTP etc., 3.Have command over theoritical questions so that at least 20-25 marks are assured within 25 minutes; 4. For Portfolio management, International finance and Capital budgeting refer Khan and Jain. You can also refer A.N Sridhar for more problems but conceptual clarity is lacking there. 5. Do not forget to give professional presentation to your answers. CA. S B Dash Bhubaneswar
Plz tell me whether AN Sridhar is gud for concepts.Because as you know a CA student is not that gud in Finance.Also, i am doing self study of this subject.I have tries makkar sir notes & SD Bala patabi ram, but not satisfied.My aim is score gus in SFM.SOmeone here in CCI commented that AN sridhar too fails in terms of conceptual understanding but it has no. of comples problem.

No doubt N Sridhar book has lot of problems. But the fact is that it will make you mechanical rather than a wizard in finance. I f you are really interested in concepts you can follow I M Pandey for selected topics or Rushtogi and there after you may start solving problems from A N Sridhar.This suggestion is given because you are sticking with selfstudy.

ACCORDING TO ME AN SRIDHAR BOOK IS GOOD FOR SELF STUDY. IT IS MY OPINION THAT IF YOU BELIVE 100% IN ANY BOOK THEN YOU CAN GET BATTER RESULT. SO ANALYSIS YOURSELF THEN GO HEAD.
