very well said , i do agree with you

Rajesh makkar sir's notes was best in past but not now. These days trend is different form earlier.

Most of the question asks from New area which doesn't contained in makkar sir's notes.

SO go through other notes also for new area

Ya..Makkar sir's notes was good for old course but for new course(SFM)  its obselete.Now more practical question are asked in exams.You may take help from Aditya Jain sir's notes.

Self studt is definitely possible. You may refer the book of Singhal Sir from Jaipur. It's a comprehensive book. This time also, almost all the books as mentioned above, failed to cover the paper. Only Singhal Sir's book covers the entire paper as detailed below:

He is the famour teacher in the Rajasthan for MAFA, Accounts and Costing. He is a highly placed Governement Officer but diverted himself to this profession. He is consistently giving best results in MAFA in all over India. You may verifty that resutl in MAFA subject is best from Rajasthan in all over India. Singhal Sir captures at least 70% market share in Rajasthan in abovementioned subjects.

Dear Gajendra,

Don't worry, just refer S.Sridhar for MAFA/SFM, which is most easiest to understand & dont forget to go through the suggested.

Best of Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely You can do self study..

I refered Pattabhiram book for understanding the concepts, after that i gone through Compilations and Practice Manual.

Good Luck.
