Both Groups of PCC or One

Dear All,

I want to know if appearing for one group in PCC exams makes much difference when appearing for an interview or applying for a job post qualification.

I have PCC attempt in May 2010. I have prepared for one group only i.e. Group-2.

Say, if i clear PCC groups one by one (first group 2 and then group 1). Will it degrade my candidature when appearing for an interview. Or it doesnt make much of a difference.

Regards,

Mohammed Suhaib

Giving both groups have following advantages

1. Lesser stress period- only till one attempt... by giving single group u ll have to think six months more abt clearing exams.

2. Gud chance to clear - i ve seen students passing with marks as this 1st group 170 second group 135. which is not possible to pass if u give one group.

3. mental edge over other- to clear both groups in one attempt,

BUT GIVE BOTH GROUPS ONLY IF U HAVE PREPARED BOTH.. N IF HAVE DONE BCOM.. ITS EASIER TO DO SO..

I just wanted to enquire the effects of giving one groups as far as appearing for an interview/job is concerned. Does it reflect badly on an individual if one has given one group only at a time.

u can appear for the group-2. but my question is dat if i appear for group 2, then will it have a negative effect on my candidature when i appear for an interview after qualifying CA.

my question still remains unanswered..

ok.. let me elaborate something...

i hav ma PCC attempt in May 2010.. but i am confident in Group-2 only.. so i have decided to drop May attempt and appear in November attempt with both groups..

but ma frnds, teachers and Principal is saying dat i shud go with one group...

however i want to appear for both groups.. and if i have to drop May attempt.. i am ready to drop it..
i am not interested in practising post qualification rather i am interested in services...

in the light of above facts.. i want urs opinion if i shud go with one group in May or i am right in dropping my May attempt and appearing for both groups in November..

HI MOHAMMED! WELL I'D RECOMMEND U 2 GO FOR MAY ATTEMPT WITH 1 GROUP RATHER THAN DROPPING IT 4 NOV,IT'LL SAVE UR TIME AS WEL AS HELP IN CLEARING PCC EASILY.........

AS FAR AS UR CANDIDATURE IS CONCERNED, WELL I AM SURE IT'LL NOT AFFECT IT BCZ ITS THE FINAL ATTEMPT THAT MATTERS THE MOST..............NOBODY ASKS HOW U CLEARED PCC................ITS CA FINAL THAT HAS MAXIMUM IMPO................RIGHT?

Its great to see that u hav that much confidence.what i think is that u should appear in may for the group u hav prepared,its no use wasting ur precious six months waiting to appear for both the groups in november.i dont know whether it has any impact on job opportunity if u appear for one group,but it will surely affect ur confidence level if u dont pass both the groups in november.Time is very important factor dear friend.But yeah...at the end of the day u know urself better-------------if u r that confident that u will pass both the groups in november then go with it--------------its ur wish---------------
