SD BALA

JB GUPTA WITH LECTURES IS BETTER OPTION

For conceptual clearity S.D.BALA for practice SRIDHAR

S.D Bala, A.N. Sridhar , Sanjay Saraf and J.B. Gupta are the best for SFM..

For Video lectures J.B. Gupta and Sanjay Saraf lectures are very good..

But if you want to do it from books S.D Bala and Sridhar are the best...

 

If you need long lasting conceptual clearance personally I would suggest J.B Gupta,

As Derivatives and Forex are well defined by J.B Gupta comparatively A.N. Sridhar and Sanjay Saraf...

J b Gupta undoubtedly....

have u used any of t specified book and found useful.which one would u finlly recommend ad y?

 

I used both SD Bala and JB Gupta. But found JB Gupta very helpful. 

@ Ankit, I myself have bought J B Gupta, but yet haven't started reading it as i am currently studying audit...But it is up to you, what to read. As i have heard that both are good

ca ravit can u pls share y u find JB gupta more helpful than bala..any specific reasons or just ur personal choice

 

@ saurab once u start with that book pls let me know,if possible, how u find it...i will buy till december 13

Hi Ankit sir can u please guide me whether sfm sajay saraf's vedio classes or dvds are available in the market?

 

I personally found sd bala to be bit complicated compared to jb gupta which is simple to understand. Problems are also explained very well in jb gupta. This is just my personal opinion. Howvevr, some of my friends also found iy to be good.

dear,

i read both j b gupta. What i suggest for you is to go for j b gupta. why? the treatment of each and every topic is very good and in friendly language.

good number  of examples are also there and clear your concepts very easily.

you can go for additional books for making practice.

thanks!

I studied SFM through the DVDs n text book of Dr. JB Gupta.. it is gud for conceptual clarity, but u need another book like scanner for further practice.
