Dear Maneesh
1st of all keep faith in yourself, thats most important. Try to do more practice in the practical paers. Try to understand the topics. Regarding books, all books are good. Even study is very good.
For Direct Tax you can follow CA Vikash Mundhra's book and For Indirect Tax follow Bangar's Book oe even Md Rafi.
For Commercial And Industrial Laws & Audit study mat and go through previous years question answers from Suggested answers.
For Cost & Mgt Accounting refer Saxena & Vasisth or Ravi M Kishore.
Give due importance to study Mat. RTP and Suggested answer. Do more practice in practical papers. Try to score heavily in papers where you are strong to comensate for your not so strong papers. Try to improve in subject where you are not so strong. Above all enjoy your studies.
Also see below link. Hope you will find some help from there...
All the best for your prerparation. For any help feel free to contact me.
Regards.

Deepak i just cleared group I of CMA , with gud marks with all grace of god. just can share my experience.
In paper 6 of law nd audit.....i did complete Audit from study mat and did first two chapters of law (Contract Act nd sale of goods) that were more than sufficient to get minimum 50 marks. for portion which i didnt study from books in law i just gave an eye on last year questions for rest chpter. only one look so that i can atleast write stories from my own.
for Tax- five heads, deduction, set of carry forwrd nd 2-3 last chptrs from study mat related with double taxations nd TDS interest calculations.

... it seems students finding problem in studying their subjects so given below is my point of view for studies ...hope u all like it...
To CMA Aspirants,
Listen Guys… there is no specific format with me to give you… but you can pass the Exams without problem with smart-work...
At my time i used to do analysis of exam paper!!! ..Getting 40 is an easy task because u have to get 40/120 but converting 40 into 60+ is a smart task... You have to see paper pattern...
i mean if they were asking objective for 25 marks then .. U should have a good command over it // & not like other students who goes to exam but they don't know answers of objective and what next they start searching & asking with others...& wasting their prestigious time in exams...
- BY KNOWING OBJECTIVE u know u can save a time lot in paper ... i mean if you know objective fully u'll take 5-10 min to answer all...& gain confidence in paper that at least 20+ marks are correct...Out of 25 in short time.
- If you ask for numerical objective - no choice...Study conceptually because one has to answer the objective with reason or working...to get full score...
i m not saying that u should by-heart(ratta) the answers ..But u should know the concepts behind it what does the question mean & what should be the answer of it...it will help you in properly memorizing the solution... and not even saying that u should prepare choice-wise ...because choice-preparation will led your confidence down in exam when you see ..That Ur' prepared question is not asked in paper & suddenly Ur morale goes down...
Accounts/Costing - they were asking 45-55 marks for theory & 50-55 for numerical repeatedly & paper asked for 120-130 marks in exams... u know to score in paper 60+ .... One should have good command over theory & numerical simultaneously...
Law/Audit - one should stick with inst't material , & also for more & more case studies to be studied one can refer N.D.KAPOOR book it has so much of cases to boost up ur confidence in preparation & also remember "by-hearting the solution is not the way to study" ..but understanding the concepts deeply & making the answer of ur own on different cases(while studying) will led you & prepare you to better result ...& also one should not leave RTP'S, Past Paper to see the pattern of answers along with suggested answer so that we can know what actually they want from us & how to prepare for that...
IT/OPM - I know both has different ends..One is asking for information knowledge & other for shop-floor (machine) knowledge & also some sort of OR..
In this paper I’d scored 66..reason I have created an interest in knowing abt IT & how it's works & secondly knowing abt new thing getting knowledge abt shop-floor & their performance makes student prepared for examination ..I also found that most of the students who found un-interested topics in this paper...but to clear paper one should study like a researcher & not like a learner...One should have a curiosity to know more abt it ...
DT/IDT - No point to mention ...only 1 thing to say “study with curiosity”, one should have a deep knowledge of taxes ...so that world can know that you are the
BEST IN TAX PLANNING & TAX MANAGEMENT & it is also a KEY AREA OF PROFESSIONAL LIKE US ...so NO SHORT-CUT TO THIS SUBJECT!!!
LISTEN GUYS… i know the course is so vast to study but to defeat the opposition (EXAM)...
“Believe in your-self, your-efforts, your work and also believe in GOD...”
If you can reach from 1st class to here then u can also reach from Foundation to Sucessfull Finalist...
CONCLUSION – “Be a Good Planner, Be a Smart Analysist & Be a Good Researcher to Be a Renowned Professional”

Ha dukh to hua tha mujhe bahut

Mjhe karana tha ru-baru
Ha junun tha junun hah

May be my info. Found relevant to you!!!
