This is with reference to recent exams. Dont all of u feel that with every passing exams , ca final papers are becoming tough.? Isnt it difficult to maintain the same intensity for 8 consecutive exams? Even if one paper of a group goes bad then entire group becomes tough to clear?Its difficult to get over a bad paper to focus on the next exam. Compared to that ias (prel iminary)and cat exams are one day exams. Some of the questions that came in sfm and costing exam of ca final were not seen earlier in any books.This is my opinion. The general strategy these days is to get exemption in 1 or 2 papers so that next time burden of the group reduces. Some of the students are able to use this strategy well. it only shows the exams are getting tough.Plz share ur views.

Nothing is easy or tough in this world. But thinking makes it ! I would appeal to you to take the examples from the lives of real life warriors who faced difficulties yet overcame them with their concrete positive mind-set

Think of Alexander, who lived in BC s where there was no facilty to know the world, who set out his journey from Greece, just relying on an advise from his Master Aristotle. He fought 33 battles all the way from Greece to India, and won all without being defeated in any one,,,, he returned after being fascinated by the beuty and variety of our country India and by being influenced of the ideas of our rich culture,,,and remember,,, while returning ,he died at the age of just 33,,, the age which is little above of all ours...........

Then think about Swami Vivekananda, who travelled alone to America just at the age of 30 in order to convey the messages about our rich cultural heritage, taught by his Great Master Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, faced several difficulties in that alien country, even starved, fell on the road nearby a dust bin on the pavement when he was found thus lying by a gentle lady whose husband ultimately managed to make him participate the Parliament of World Religions in which he roared like a lion about the heritage which India possesses! love your motherland... Think that you are studying to serve our mother.... Born in a country where such illuminated souls were born, why do you fear!!!!!!!!

Think about the great American leader and the greatest President America has ever seen, ABRAHAM LINCOLN,,,,,,born in a very poor family in a one-room log cabin,,,, who though his courage and hard-work and love for his nation combited with a well-groomed acumen, despite boggled down by failures went on to became The President of United States, whose photo appears on American Dollar alonwith some of the other historical persons like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington....

Why do you fear..... never fear studies... take studies as your friend,,, definitely you wil find your ways to tackle your learning problems.... study the whole syllabus... never leave anything

Write down on a piece of paper what problems you are facing while studying,,, Write 10 points, yes , you Must write at least 10,,, Take another peace of paper ,,, write your own customed solutions to those problems... write only what is practicable,, if you think you need more time than allotted, stretch your study plan to buy more time.... Tats called Time Manangement, yes, you must at least do this

Study modules are the best,,, they are common material from Kashmir to Kanyakumari,,, Make brief notes from material,,, Ask yourself questions while studying module and answer them on your note,,, don't write everything,,, everything is nt important

Scan some original question papers and try to understand the requirements,,, this is "Requirements Analysis"

Put down those requirements in a piece of paper. Show the paper to your teacher,,,, This will confirm your requirements

Then prepare a "Design" for studies,,, which may be divided into modules for easy implementation

Prepare a good environment for studies,,, i.e. your study room....."Install" all materials required for studies in such environment...

Install "Anti-negative thoughts guard'' in your brain

Now since the brain is motivated, then jump into a huge "Implementation" program... don't look sideways.... just study

Be Brave, Be Bold, Be Intelligent

Success will be yours, oh my courageos heroes and heroines!!!!

Yes,indeed Ayesha I agree to u,I had a Chat with Mr Gupta He is a chartered Accountant as well as an IAS Officer,told me CA is much more tougher,because in Civil Services there are only for 2-4 papers u have to prepare very well,but in CA u have much more subjects,& none of the paper u can take lightly or Easily.u have to study each & every topic in deep & also to Apply that with perfection.further there is no surety about getting same or more marks u secured in earlier arttampt & it matters most when u missed out Exemption by 2-3 marks in any individual paper,u can get even 42-45 marks in same paper in which u scored 57-58 marks in an earlier attempt it really frustrates.

According to me the top most ,elite service and difficult to clear is IAS.Nothing is comparable to it.If you cleared pre then you can may be get fail in mains and or may be in interview.Engineers ,doctors who have done job of their field ,studies for 3 or four years clears this exams.Or some couldn't even in their all attempts.

Just check the statistics how many give CA mains and IAS,then you will get answer.Only 400 to 700 seats are there.

ISEET exam
