Hey jothy

This is my opinion. IF u wanna study mafa, just work out all the problems in compiler. if u start learning concepts full, u will not have time to complete. Moreover, our institute dont have qualified people to set a quality exam question in finance. I am will show u lots of bull sh*t questions asked in exams which will defeat the concept. For ex, in a problem, they used current liablity in debt equity ratio, and in another problem they have added returns of all stocks in portfolio to get market returns etc. So no matter how strong u r in concepts, it doesnt matter. Just work out compiler. I read compiler and cleared. I couldnt understand certain steps in compiler because they are NONSENSE. but still i managed to clear in mafa. JUst work out all probs in compiler. U should clear in first shot.
