Dear Dev, i think 3 months time is sufficient 4 study,
I m sharing my experience. This was my 4th attempt, i always study very hard but every time i got failed in mics, and i have decided this time that AV MICS KO HI DEKHTE HAIN
I was also working with an organisation, and i had only 3 hrs in a day to study, i started to read costind daily and i had completed costing in 35 days by devoting 3 hrs daily except sunday. Every sundy i use to read IDT. i took leave for one month from my org. after taking leave i had only 2 papers 2 study DT and MICS. Daily i use to study DT and MICS for 4 hrs and i gave 2 hrs for costing and 2 hrs for IDT 4 revision.
Befor 15 days from the examination my all papers were balanced, then i thought about getting 60+ in a paper and i choose MICS, i had revised MICS 3 times in 15 days bt devoting 2 hrs daily.
After giving the examination i was very sure that ti time i will get the degree just becoz of MICS,
and on 17th jan this was my rsult:
Costing 45
MICS 62
DT 53
IDT 53
Total 213

Ha.. Ha... Nice Amit.... you did split second practice....Good.... I too cleared second group by taking just 15 days leave & mine was also 4th attempt.... Actually, this MICS paper is a scoring paper when compared to Costing, DT & IDT... & it is easy yo study it.... When i told it to my friends, then always used to tell how come a theory paper can be a scoring paper....? Reason is simple... MICS they cant twist questions... All questions are direct & hence we wont get "surprise" questions (One exception is my second attempt in which we had a practical problem in MICS for 10 marks... Something like Risk exposure they asked... Do you remember it...?).... & in all other cases, it is direct questions.... Again, they cant find new questions it seems.... So, old questions itself gets repeated.... Which makes students job easier....!!!!! Just refer compilation & go & write the exam....!!!!! You got 3 marks more in DT & IDT na.... My marks are... Costing-46, MICS-60, DT-46, IDT-48... Total 200.....!!!! Passed because of MICS....!!!!! But i expected still more marks in MICS....

I HAD ATTEMPTED SERIOUSLY FROM NOVE09 AND REMAINED FAIL AND I FOUND A SEA CHANGE IN STUDY PATTERN AND EVALUATION SYSTEM OF CA INSTITUTE . I CAN SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING TIPS FOR MY SELF AND ALL ASPIRANTS OF CA’S.
v For Cost. Lots of practice of all important topics according to the scanner . it will save the times . Understand the concepts of the chapter and do the practice of the important chapters . Practice at least four times for a whole chapter until u r not able to understand a questions just at glance and a quick frame in your mind 4 answer. Pl makes a notes for theory portion also and do not miss it please. Mock practice after completing the revisions in the examination conditions.
v For theory you must read your subjects first time like a novel and second time point out for important topics of the chapter and third time like a expert for bullet point of the most important . Fourth time u must be able to conceptualize the chapter and its contents by just overlooking any chapter.
v FOR EXAM TIME pl make a very brief handouts for just quick review. most important point -u must discuss orally with your friend important topics just at ease with handouts. it will give you permanent memory.
Are the above strategies ok. Pl suggest .

To Nagalaxmi.... First of all hats off to you.... Studying with small kid... Great.... Refer to my above psot... May be little useful to you in Costing, MICS & IDT....
Regading DT, i agree TN manohran is very vast..... You better switch to Yopgendra Bangar book..... They also publish a compilation which contain solutions to past exam papers of DT....
U can also use attached file... For DT... They explain some chapters of DT in simple words.. Specially, assessment procedures.... But take care of amendments.... Becuase, those files are not updated.... Still use can use them by noting amendments (I think Manoharan book contains amendments in first few pages... you can use them here)...
Regarding coaching, i dont want to comment... becuase i did not went to coaching for a single paper.... Did self study.... So, dont want to comment on which coaching si good.. etc etc...

Hi nagalaxmi... For Law i referred only compilation.... But suggest you to use Munish Bhandari Book instead of compilation... regarding attempts, i alsways wrote both groups.. Cleared 1st group in third attempt & second group in fourth attempt... In your case, i suggest you to write 1 group at a time... Second group is easy when compared to 1st group... So, first gv more time to it... If you clear seocnd group, you will get confidence...
But apply both & write both groups... But give more attn to second group....

Hi Nagalaxmi.., by passing CA, i did not belonged to the category of "great people".... Becoming a good human is important than becoming CA...
Anyhow, i have to complete GMCS & apply for membership.., after that only I can use the word CA...!!!! & Hv to apply for good job... Pray that i get placement in a good company...
Thanks for your suggestion...
