Hello Abhishek,
Your question is very genuine and It should be discuss in group so, one can conclude their potentials. I am agree who are joining coaching before 2.5 years if exams because there are majorly 3 – 4 subjects that will change so, it’s not good decision.
At the time of joining articleship we are facing new experience of practical life so, it’s normal situation for all of us to handle this kind of situation. We should initiate Final coaching after 9 months of completion of articleship training. And we have 9 to 24 Months (15 months) for 3 practical subject i.e. SFM , Accounts and Costing. In between we can plan for ISCA and theory subjects partly. But, as most of us are prefer theory subjects in last 1 year. Provisions may change.
Presently we should focus on 3 practical subjects and plan our study strategy of these subjects. Seniors are requested to enlight their experience and give suggestions how to crack and deal with subjects.
