Many of U feel Institute material is not much necessary

But for Practical subjects like Costing its very important

so the books required for Costing are

1. Institute Material

2. Scanner

3. Padhuka ( mostly suggested ) /paraggupta Sir Material / any Other Material

4. Last 4 RTP 's

5. Practice Manual

Costing i have failed more than 4 time becaue the way of learning... If same pattern questions comes, there is no difficulties in solving the problems. Then i have adopted two things

trying to solving the problems without refering the solutions. Understanding the concepts, and comitting many mistake.Gradually the mistake level were reduced.

I think if you go through the paduka it will cover the problems from RTP's, Previous exams and Institute material.

If you do first from paduka it will be better as most of the parts mentioned above are covered and it builds the confidence level also. Regarding OR if we can get LSS(chennai) material then we can make a good scoring. If any one has got LSS material please upload. it will help most of the students who are having problem with OR
