Hey never do like that my friend.

Even dont use short forms in accounts too, for eg: if it is 2lakhs generally we use 2L done do like this.

Dont use any of the shortform for anything and anywhere in the exam.\

Thanks & Regards,

It would always be wise to avoid such short forms in the CA exams...the examiners are trying to pick up mistake from your answers..and if you use short forms, you are helping them to make reasons to point out the mistakes..

Yes, absolutely agreed with Viswanath Shenoy, Even the valuers may impressed negatively also. Once if they get negative impression on your paper , that impression will continue till the end of the paper. Why should we give that chance to them.

And even there is no surprise if they think as Lazy borns. Ofcourse we know and use cause of lack of time , but they dont think so.

Never give any chance to examiner always try to capture their mind with good presentation.

Thanks.

It dnt take much time to write full name instead of Short names.

But it gives negative impact on Valuator if you use short names.

but you can use vebrivations.

AGREE WITH ALL....

Even when you are creating an account then write the full word i.e "ACCOUNT" and not A/C on the heading.

But no other go...U gotta change the habit....i remember the words of a famous accounts tutor in south india,who is an exam paper setter also....While giving the tips on how to present in exams,his first tip was "NEVER USE SHORT FORMS (since it creates -ve impression)....More over this being a prof exam,we are supposed to exhibit our professionalism in presentation part also...".So the moral of the story is You are sure to lose marks if u plan to use only short forms....
