If u have started preparation from now, go for Group 1 for the below reasons-
Lot of time to prepare and focus on all 4 subjects of group 1
Scoring marks is easy in group 1due to more of practical subjects.
Clearing group 1 will enable you to join Ca articleship immediately.
Group 2 requires extensive study due to 2 theory subjects and 1 practical subject.
Auditing paper is very tricky. One needs to good command over accounting, company law, AS, Auditing, SA & related laws. Prior articleship exp. Will be useful to easily relate with subject easily.
So in my view, group 2 can be cleared during Articleship period itself.
The above approach to ipcc exam adds more certainty of clearing the exams and reduces stress and anxiety.
All the best
