Dear vivek, i'll tell u my experience. 1st attempt i did sfm self study using SD Bala. I scored 41. Merits of the book - good conceptual understanding. Demerits - low quality problems; all concepts not covered
2nd attempt i did using AN Sridhar. I scored 50. Merits - all concepts explained; variety of good quality exam problems. Demerits - none

S.D. Bala is good as concept wise .....
But still I Had took Rajiv Singh for more practice question ...
so If you purchase S.D. BALA ... You'll find the need to combine it with other book.... if you are little slow with understanding concept of practical subjects.
And A.N.Sridhar is more reliable book considered by CA students ... Like my frn has referred same book and fully satisfied.
And in case you are refering J.B.Gupta .... then I would suggest you to buy the DVDs for the same ....because at time you will face yourself juggling with more and more concepts.

Look for Rajiv sir's dvds. Then consider doing from any good class notes such as Makkar, Kalra or even
Papneja etc.

Yes dear it's easily available in the market.( Like Pooja law house in Delhi ) Otherwise if u don't get it you can buy the same from ETEN Institute as well. My friend bought the same book for me .... So I didn't even asked from where she got it....
And about his DVDs ...I don't know whether his DVDs are available in market or not .......

@ vivek.. u would forever remain confused if u read the comments here.. No offence to any1... some will suggest an sridhar coz they have studied from it and passed and some will suggest sd bala for the same reason..... the ans to this riddle is that u can select any book.. be it the instiute module... be it an sidhar be it sd bala or any other book for that matter.. the point is that u have to cover 100% of the topics and study CONCEPTUALLY... dont ever ever ever go for rote learning as all the students do these days... so first understand a concept then go forward for solving questions... and if u still have a problem to understand a concept then google is ur frnd and so are we.. :) an sridhar and sd bala are equally good. :) *PEACE* |

PERFECT SUGGESTION!!!!!!!
I WILL PREFER A N SRIDHAR OVER S D BALA AS IT IS 100% EXAM ORIENTED COVERING ENTIRE CONCEPTS AND PREVIOUS YEAR QNS.
