My friends and my seniors at the firm tell me that one should study Coaching material/ Reference books more but with few reference to the ICAI module. Even an old CA had told the text material in the module is more than the syllabus prescribed (many extra things are given; which has nearly 100pc chance of not being given in exams).
Take my coaching’s case in Business Ethics. In the sub-chapter “ Corporate Governance”; the material given to us by coaching had the condensed form of the chapter of the module. In module there was a)History of evolution of C. governance in abroad and India b) Case study of C.G. Stucture in ITC (company)
But in our material; the history part was totally missing. Does that mean we don’t have to memorise(one memorises history usually; not understand them) the history of C.G.?
Similarly, does this same thing stand for other subjects as well?
P.s. A CA student told me that “ a PCC/final examinee succeeds due to his ability to grasp the syllabus in the last six months: that’s why students prefer Coaching materials wisely!”

it is true that our institute's material is poorly drafted.
One problem is that they change it on a periodic basis and the changes are implemented only when a change in the course particulars take place. Thats not the case with other publications where they concentrate more from students perspective.

Is that why it is the most beneficial from exam point of view to refer mainly to coaching books coupled with reference books and giving only some formal reading to the icai's books(like in case of some laws)?
