I would like to share my stint as well in a brief.
I joined CA in 1999.I am in CA final and appearing for 1st group whereas 2nd group is clear.
I have been appearing for 1st group for past 6 years. I got exemption in MAFA now SFM, but Lost it. When i lost my exemption i secured 198. prior to that i never secured less than 185 3 time 192, 2 times 188 and 194.
Now the course has changed. i am struggling. I am tired but not defeated. Its my OPEN CHALLENGE to ICAI if they are detaining me everytime I'll show them not today may b tomorrow i'll end up only wiht CA degree.
When i joined i even did not ahve proprer beard now i am married. I used to teach Corporate law, FM, MAFA and accounts. one of my frnd whom i taught is now CA. by the time i started doing job. I went Europe, US, South east asia. I conducted one session in Europe. I am successfully owrking and even getting more than wat a CA earns BUT... i ahve not given-up , my gfight with ICAI is on... till I become CA.
