When to start studying SPOM-Set A & Set B for the Jan’26 CA final exams?
Many students confuse about when to start studying for SPOM-Set A & Set B for Jan 26 exams. So here, we would like to answer this question through Parag sir’s reply.
As many questions prevail around this confusion, like,
- 1. Will these papers become self-paced papers, or
- 2. Will the Ministry of Corporate Affairs shift the date for the next attempt?
- 3. Or will these papers will be back as normal paper?
Well, as the ministry thinks in 50 different ways, so we cannot say anything. But definitely, any of the 3 above suggestions can be possible. Eg. If the ministry will feel that these papers are important and shall not be taken as self-paced, then they may be back as normal papers as well. So it is suggested that in all the above scenarios, you all shall keep studying hard for exams.
