For Students

Live Virtual Classes to Begin: We are happy to inform our students that the Live Virtual Classes will be inaugurated on December 28, 2010, on the occasion of the International Conference of CA students. It will be a historic step in our services towards CA student community, as it will also bring closer our students spread across the nation, especially from mofussil towns. The Board of Studies has organised demo classes at 25 centres in 22 cities in order to assess the impact of technology and to evaluate the quality of audio-visual by the participants attending these classes, prior to the formal inauguration. It is proposed to organise classes at all five regions. Classes are likely to formally commence in the third week of January 2011. We must congratulate CA. Vinod Jain, Chairman, Board of Studies, and his team for making efforts to make this project a reality.

Hosting of Suggested Answers: As part of our efforts to enhance the transparency of our examination system, it has been decided to host suggested answers to the November 2010 examinations well before the declaration of results, i.e. by December 31, 2010.
