Study Related blogs: Click Here ​Q. How much time do we need to invest in a question? We have very limited time for the examination: 100 marks Question paper is supposed to be completed in 3 hours i.e. 180 minutes. Proportionately we can calculate the time to be spent on a question. E.g. A 10 marks question shall be attempted in around 18 minutes. Q. How to approach a case study question? There are three sections to a case study query: The beginning Paragraph Several further sentences (Body of question)Concluding Paragraph and the conditions stated in the question. In the body of a question, there are always things that are unrelated to the requirements given in the question so we shall initially focus on the introduction paragraph or the initial few lines of the introduction paragraph to gain a gist about the company. Additionally, we shall focus on the requirements given in the question and/or concluding paragraph.Now, you are prepared to carefully read the question’s body, extract information that applies to the criteria specified in the question, and distinguish between material that does and doesn’t.Note: Read the requirements of the question at least twice. ​Q. How to approach a question other than a case study question? A different kind of query is often broken down into two parts: A concluding paragraph, requirements specified in the question, and several paragraphs (question body). There are usually aspects in a question’s body that are irrelevant to the needs stated in the question, so we will first concentrate on those requirements and/or the ending paragraph.Now you are prepared to carefully read the question’s body, extract the information that pertains to the requirements, and distinguish between that information and that which does not.Note: Read the requirements of the question at least 2 times.

Secret Tips to Score 90+ Marks in CA Exams | By Parag Gupta sir

Secret Tips to Score 90+ Marks Secret Tips to Score 90+Marks in M Exams | A common question asked by the students: what are the tips and strategies to score more than 90+ Marks in CA Final Costing? With all the past experience as a Teacher and as a past examiner, here are some tips and tricks that will be very useful for the students. How to tackle tension and stress Smile is the best stress buster. Relax your mind and take a small walk in the park or a garden. Try to soothe up your mind and pacify yourself. Improve productivity rather than quantity of your studies. Solve & practice past examination questions rather than overviewing or auditing the questions and their solutions. Let’s recall how we use to score well in lower level examinations such as Class X & Class XII: We used to prepare Diagrams/Charts & 1-day revision summary notes, we try to practice the maximum possible questions, etc. Accept and own your mistakes, motivate yourself, and challenge the concept. Never criticize yourself or demotivate yourself rather focus on the ways we can grab a command on the proper application of the concept. How many revisions shall be done? Is it possible to do you 5 revisions? Secret Tips to Score 90+Marks in M Exams | Say we are supposed to prepare 8 subjects in 3 months, it means you have approximately 11 days for 1 subject. Adjust the time and subjects accordingly and calculate the time per subject. Now create a proper benchmark about the plausible number of revisions you can do within the available time frame. Never compare yourself with others and strive to fulfill the benchmarks set by you. Always keep a slack while setting the benchmark to avoid stress, if we are lagging behind the target. Visit our site– Whether we shall devote equal time to each subject? Secret Tips to Score 90+Marks in M Exams | Never underestimate or overestimate a subject and prefer to divide the time equally among all subjects. If you feel that a subject is easy, try to score good marks in that subject and try not to reduce time on its revision. This will help you compensate, in total, with low marks on any other subject. Whether we shall prepare 1 subject at a time? To avoid boredom, it is always recommended to make a set of numerical and subjective topics – for one subject or more than one subject. Which books shall we refer to? Prefer to refer to books of the Institute. The reference books of teachers and authors cover everything in detail, however, the books of ICAI are concise and examination-oriented. Prepare notes from these books for your last day revision.

Evaluation of ICAI qualification by UK NARIC

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has always strived for academic and professional excellence for its key stakeholders, i.e., students and members. With the aim of expanding the opportunities for Professionals in foreign jurisdictions, the Institute had engaged UK NARIC (The National Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom) a renowned UK national agency responsible for providing information and expert opinion on qualifications and skills worldwide, to conduct an independent benchmarking study, evaluating the comparability of the ICAI Intermediate and Final level in the context of the UK education systems. Pursuant to the same, UK NARIC has announced that ICAI qualification is comparable to RFQ Level 7, Master’s degree standard. The agency has also benchmarked ICAI Intermediate course and final course separately as being comparable to an RQF Level 6, Bachelor degree standard and RQF Level 7, Master’s degree standard respectively. Speaking on the UK NARIC benchmarking, President ICAI, CA. Prafulla P. Chhajed remarked that the benchmarking of the CA qualification comparable to RQF Level 7, Master’s degree standard not only would strengthen the position of ICAI members but would also, help aspiring Chartered Accountants and even corporates gain a better understanding of the standing and relevance of the CA qualification.” He added, “ICAI members abroad are facing difficulty in settling abroad. This evaluation would help them in deciding the stage of a professional qualification for ICAI members because they now know that they not only possess a professional qualification of relevance, but it is also a qualification that is comparable to RQF Level 7, Master’s degree standard.” ICAI’s Vice President, CA. Atul Kumar Gupta, remarked,“As India is increasingly focusing on facilitating the export of accountancy services, the promotion of global mobility of accountancy services in the digital world are one of the important Champion Sector initiatives of the Government of India; this evaluation would increase the professional avenues for our members by facilitating recognition of Indian accountancy qualification”. ICAI Kuwait Chapter Chairman CA Sai Devata applauded the efforts of ICAI President and Vice President for this remarkable recognition which will enhance the footprint of ICAI globally. ICAI Kuwait chapter is working closely to sign MOU with Kuwait Accounting and Auditing Association (KAAA) which will mutually benefit both the associations and exchange the training, subject related in the areas of accounting and finance domain.
