CA PCC-DESPERATE PLEA FOR HELP

raju.. (N/A.) (142 Points)

Dear Seniors,

I have a few queries regarding CA PCC which I hope you could clear for me.They are:

How much will be the cost for CA PCC IN TOTAL (enrollment + ITT training etc)?
Is compulsory ICAI coaching needed-Oral?
Are there any Coaching Completion(CC) papers or exams to be completed as is there in CWA&CS?
I have heard that Group 2 of PCC by itself is comprised of tough papers which are mainly theory and low mark scoring. As I have a full time job, I am taking one group at a time. Would it be possible to clear Group 2 by writing those 3 papers?

I understand that it is wiser to appear for both groups together, but as I mentioned earlier, I have a full time job.

Please guide me

Thanks & Regards,

Raju

HI , I TAKE AN ATTEMPT TO ANSWER UR QUERIES:

1. TOTAL COST WOULD BE 5500+5000( APPROX)

2. ORAL COACHING IS NOT COMPULSORY.U CAN DO IN PVT COACHING CENTRES ALSO

3.THERE IS NO CC PAPERS FOR CA PCC

4. ACTUALLY SPAEKING GROUP2 IS EASIER TO SCORE. U HAVE COSTING, WHERE CONCEPTS IS IMPORTANT, TAXATION WHERE U WILL JUST ENJOY THE SECTIONS - AGAIN IT IS EASIER SINCE U R IN UR ARTICLES AND U W'LD HAVE SOME PRACTICAL EXPOSURE, INFO TECH & SM - SM IS A THEORY PAPER EASY TO STUDY , AFTER THAT U CONCENTRATE ON IT ,,,,, COVER AREAS..... SIMPLE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY HEART FELT WISHES FOR U

This is first stage of the chartered accountancy curriculum wherein only working knowledge of core and allied subjects to accountancy profession is covered, while at the Final course, advanced application knowledge of core and allied subjects to accountancy profession has been intended to be inculcated. The unique feature of the entire theoretical education of the Chartered Accountancy curriculum is the supportive and complementary practical training. A student would undergo theoretical education and practical training concurrently from the beginning of the first stage of theoretical education. This balanced approach will help the students to appreciate the underlying practical applications of the theoretical education scheme.

Neither a stand-alone theory nor a practice without theoretical knowledge would make a professional successful. Moreover, there is a need to develop proper understanding of the business environment and information technology which acts as an important business process driver. It is also essential to sharpen communication skills to be able to work successfully in the competitive business environment.

Thanks Swapnil, for your input. But in IPCC there is a jumbling of papers among the 2 groups...the number of papers are 7 and not 6, as accounts is bifurcated
