hey i appeared for pcc both groups

papers were quite easy but lenghty

despite my xams dint went good due to lack of preparation

ACCTS -- the whole pattern was changed,no 20 marks question this time instead the small 2-2 marks question came for 24 marks and except internal reconstrucion all the practical questions came for 8 marks

very lenghty ..... AS questions were from basic knowledge 

AUDIT --  quite easy paper i was shockd to see Practical questions from Accounting Standards. No govt audit this time 

LAW -- shockd to see ethics part.rest of the paper was easy .,.... thanks to munish bhandari sir 's book

cost and fm --  my nightmare ................

friend in costing nthng was certain .I would be happy if able to clear this .

Tax -- my strongest subject but dint went so good........theory part, i dnt knw frm where it came . practicals were very easy

IT AND SM -- second nightmare but was a quite easy paper for those who prepared this subject. flow chart was the easiest also was the glossory part.

so friend i hope to clear 1st group but cant say this confidently as far as 2nd group is conclerned

all the very best

All peapers are not so hard but in second group Cost accounting and FM

is very leanthy calculations but not hard to solving problems.

Well!! the exams are over, atleast one reason to rejoice. About the papers in the CA Final Nov 2008 examinations, here are my views...

Accounts - The paper was tough... Lets admit it. Consolidation problem was not that anybody liked to appear in that exam. I coule complete the reconstruction problem and the theory well. AS 20 Problem was a definate Bouncer. The paper wanted to prove the fact that u need substance to clear a CA final paper.

MAFA - Moderately easy paper. Expected questions came. leasing and portfolio Mgt was a cakewalk. I should get an exemption god willing.

Audit - The paper was technical, especially the Professional Ethics quesstions and the AS questions. Fared pretty well, god willingly should get an exemption.

C Law - The examiner expected the students to display sound basic knowledge in most of the questions. The application of multiple sections in a few scenarios made the paper technical.  It looked to be an easy paper it was however not.

Cost - Lets admit, this paper was easy. All repeated questions, it was however a lengthy paper.I guess a 70 mark attepmt should get you close to 55 or above.

MICS - Reasonably easy paper, it required sound basic knowledge though. Anyone who has read the Study material a couple of times and has given relevant answers would be able to score an easy 50.

DT - Very Technical Paper as always. Examiner expected professional approach to all answers. absence of CG and PGBP made the paper a tough nut to crack. The questions based on Income tax Authorities and assessment procedures were tough. WT was easy as always.

IDT - I felt that it was a very abnormal and procedure oriented paper. The basics of Excise was left out. IDT wont be the cause of many exemptions this attempt.

At the end of it all, we've all tried our best. The results matter but it does not bring us to a dead end. This course has thought us to be resilient  and strong and so will we be. Here's wishing you the very best for your results. God bless the institute and all of us.

Except Accounts and Tax all the papers were really easy...People think that Cost was scoring but let me assure u that it was not at all easy, it was simply a googly paper

ok g
