ICAI’s Hacker (Mihir) spoke to CA Parag Gupta sir!

The ICAI Portal “Hack”: Ethical Intention or Malicious Act? CA. Parag Gupta and hacker, Mihir Shishulkar clarify the Controversy

studybytech-admin / June 17, 2026

The ICAI student’s body was also panicked out over the results of the CA Final Exams being released only one day from now. Not only that but allegations concerning data breaches also began circulating on various social media sites, resulting in panic and anxiety for many students waiting for their CA Final results. In an effort to get to the bottom of this, CA Parag Gupta, who is a very well known Costing faculty member, conducted an exclusive video conversation with a man named Mihir, (watch the full discussion here) who was at the heart of this controversy. The Initial Claim and the Atmosphere of Panic Around this time, Mihir came forward with information on serious security flaws at the ICAI’s examination site and informed the ICAI about them. After disclosing these issues, the conversation turned negative very quickly. On the dark web, Mihir’s name was reportedly misused and manipulated to suggest that he hacked into the ICAI’s exam site to manipulate students’ results when in actually he acted ethically in reporting the issues. CA Parag Gupta opened the discussion by emphasizing the seriousness of the matter. He clarified that his primary goal was to address the panic among students and that he had no way to independently verify the technical details of the claims . “I am not very proficient in ethical hacking… my purpose was only to talk to Mehur ji to bring students out of a panic situation,” he stated . He acknowledged that while he was giving Mihir the benefit of the doubt, if any malicious intent was proven, the law would take its course. Mihir’s Defense: An Ethical Disclosure Mihir presented his side of the story, maintaining that his actions were strictly for ethical reasons. The individual also claimed he found the weaknesses at 5:56 pm on June 12th 2026 and reported them to ICAI by 6:00pm, one hour later. He walked CA Parag Gupta through the alleged flaws, which he said included: Mihir emphasized that he did not modify any data and that the students’ answer sheets and marks were safe. “I have not leaked any data… your data is not modified,” he assured the students . He also showed screenshots from outside the database tables as proof of his access, stating he had over 200,000 records available . The Core Concern: Is the Data Safe? The most crucial question for students remains: Is their data compromised? Online reports suggest that the situation is likely a rumor. TCS, which maintains the data for ICAI, has reportedly confirmed that no data has been compromised . A chartered accountant, Dr. Rohit Ruwatia Agarwal, shared on social media that TCS had confirmed to him that there was “no substance” to the rumors of a data leak . Mihir’s own claims support this. He repeatedly stated that his access was for reporting vulnerabilities and that he did not steal or modify any data. CA Parag Gupta’s Final Appeal to Students After the interaction, CA Parag Gupta made a heartfelt appeal to the students. He emphasized the importance of not falling prey to panic, especially with results around the corner. He advised students to: Conclusion According to the video, the vulnerability that was found by the individual is now getting their chance to be heard (represented) as an impartial mediator, CA Parag Gupta, calms the worried students. While it is felt that the ICAI and other cybersecurity professionals have the true technical details of the situation, from Mihir’s account there is no reason to believe that his actions that disclosed this vulnerability were not ethically motivated nor that the student’s data had been compromised. Students are asked to remain calm, patient as they await the results and rely upon the official communication from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

After CA Inter & CA Final Exam Result: Expert Tips and Strategies

Studybytech / February 28, 2026

CA Foundation Classes CA Inter Classes CA Final Classes StudyByTech Offers Contact us The release of CA Inter and CA Final results is a defining moment. Whether you are celebrating a “PASS” or analyzing a “FAIL,” the strategy you adopt in the next 48 hours will dictate your career trajectory. At StudyByTech, we’ve broken down the path forward into two distinct blueprints. Part 1: The CA Inter Result – What’s Next? Scenario A: You Passed CA Inter! Congratulations! You are now a Semi-Qualified Professional. Here is your immediate 3-step action plan: 1. Complete ICITSS Training (ITT & OC) Immediately Before you can step into an office for your articleship, you must complete the Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS). What it includes: 15 days of Information Technology Training (ITT) and 15 days of the Orientation Course (OC). Registration: This is done via the ICAI SSP Portal. Pro-Tip: Seats for these batches fill up within minutes of result declaration. Register ASAP to avoid a 3-month delay in starting your articleship. 2. Clear SPOM Exams (Set A, B, C & D) Under the new scheme, you must clear the Self-Paced Online Modules (SPOM) before you are eligible for CA Final. Strategic Advantage: Understanding these 2 subjects- Set A & Set B (SCPM) will save you during your CA Final exams, as this syllabus is heavily tested in the IBS paper. 3. The Articleship Hunt Whether you aim for the Big 4 or a reputed mid-sized firm, ensure your resume highlights your technical proficiency from ITT and the soft skills from your OC training. Scenario B: You Didn’t Pass CA Inter Analyze the “Why”: Request certified copies from ICAI. Was it a lack of conceptual clarity or “Presentation Errors”? Focus on Costing: If you struggled here, consider Parag Gupta Sir’s Costing Booster Batches, designed to convert a 40 into a 70+. This can help you maintain aggregate in groups, hence can help you pass the exam. LDR Strategy: Start creating Last Day Revision notes now. If you can’t revise a subject in 1.5 days, you won’t be able to pass it during the exam cycle. Part 2: The CA Final Result – The Final Leap Scenario A: You Passed CA Final! You are now a Chartered Accountant. The Job Hunt: Register for ICAI Campus Placements. Focus on “Technical Rounds” and your communication skills. Upskilling: The industry demands a “Tech-Savvy Auditor.” Master Advanced Excel, Power BI, and SAP to increase your market value. Scenario B: You Didn’t Pass CA Final The CA Final hurdle is high, but entirely clearable with a tactical shift. 1. The IBS (Paper 6) “Secret Key” The Integrated Business Solutions (IBS) paper is where most students get stuck. The SPOM Connection: Statistics show that 40–42 marks in IBS come from SPOM material. Specifically, 22–24 marks come directly from SCPM (Set B). The Trap: Most students neglect Set B, treating it as a formality. Mastering the SPOM (SCPM) syllabus is the single most effective way to pass IBS. 2. Tactical Subject Tips Audit & IDT: Use the “Keyword Technique” for Audit Standards. For IDT, use Summary Charts to master the GST logic in a single day. FR & AFM: These are your scoring engines. Master Ind AS adjustments in FR and Forex/Derivatives in AFM. Conclusion Receiving your CA Inter or CA Final exam results is a significant milestone, regardless of the outcome. Use this time to reflect, plan, and take proactive steps towards your future. Whether you’re stepping into the professional world or preparing for another attempt, approach this phase with determination and a strategic mindset. Remember, every step, whether forward or a step back, is part of your journey to becoming a successful Chartered Accountant. Stay positive, stay focused, and continue to strive for excellence. FAQs Q1: I just passed CA Inter. Can I start my Articleship tomorrow? Not quite! You must first complete your ICITSS training (15 days of ITT and 15 days of OC). Once you finish these and the certificates are updated on the ICAI SSP Portal, you are eligible to begin your practical training. Don’t forget to register for your batches immediately, as they fill up fast! Q2: Why SPOM Set B (SCPM) is so important for CA Final IBS exam? In the new scheme, the Integrated Business Solutions (IBS) paper is a multidisciplinary case-study exam. Data shows that roughly 22–24 marks in IBS come directly from the Strategic Cost & Performance Management (SCPM) syllabus. ICAI is judging you on overall knowledge out of which all subjects you have already studied recently, being open book you won’t face problem in finding concepts from book. But as SPOM subjects are studied 1-2 years back with a history of sure shot 40-42 marks guarantied , so revising them becomes very crucial to pass the exam. Q.3 Is CA Inter difficult to pass? CA Inter can be challenging, requiring focused study and understanding. Success depends on preparation and a strong grasp of concepts Q.4 How to apply for CA Final after intermediate? After CA Intermediate, apply for CA Final through the official website of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Q.5 Which group is easy in CA Inter? The difficulty of CA Inter groups is subjective, but many students find Group II comparatively easier than Group I. Q6: What happens if I don’t get into a Big 4 for Articleship? Don’t panic! While Big 4 firms offer great exposure to massive clients, reputed mid-sized firms often provide a more “hands-on” experience in GST, Tax Audit, and ROC filing. Both paths lead to a successful career; what matters most is your curiosity and willingness to learn on the job.

CA increased 2L+ in just 4+ years

2+ LAKH NEW CAs IN 4 YEARS: WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING TO THE CA PROFESSION?

Shilpa Gupta / December 23, 2025

The landscape of chartered accountancy has drastically changed, according to official statistics. As per The Economic Times dated 19th December, 2025, in less than five years, CAs have grown from 3,27,081 (1 April 2021) to 5,28,224 (1 December 2025), adding over two lakh members. This surge has huge implications for CA students, young chartered accountants, firms, and the long‑term brand value of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India qualification. The New CA Economy: Security Or Illusion? For decades, “CA” was almost synonymous with financial security and professional respect. That presumption is no longer assured today. Short-term job scarcity is not the only real risk. If the increase in membership is not accompanied by an equivalent improvement in skills, capabilities, and work quality, the deeper concern is a gradual dilution of the CA brand. Key question: Are we creating strategic finance experts or merely inexpensive, easily replaceable compliance executors in an era of automated compliance and tax simplification? Law → SPOM: Are We Weakening Our Legal Edge? Strong exposure to corporate law, insolvency, and regulatory frameworks has historically been one of Indian CAs’ main advantages. Many CAs were able to appear as counsel before RD, NCLT, and NCLAT thanks to this foundation, and they were able to play significant roles in boardroom decision-making, restructuring, and litigation support. By pushing Law in a SPOM basket that is simpler to clear: If the current trend keeps up, should Chartered Accountants still have an automatic right to appear as counsel in complex matters before the MCA and tribunals? Lose that standing and the profession doesn’t just wobble — it takes a long-term hit. Costing → SPOM: Who Will Own Strategic Cost & Performance? Cost and Management Accounting and Strategic Cost Management & Performance Evaluation are not “optional scoring subjects”; they are the backbone of business decision‑making—pricing, profitability analysis, performance dashboards, cost leadership, and strategic planning. Cost and Management Accounting, and Strategic Cost Management & Performance Evaluation, are not optional extras. They are the backbone of business decision-making — pricing, profitability analysis, performance dashboards, cost leadership and long-range strategy. You see their fingerprints everywhere: in boardroom debates, in late-night spreadsheet revisions, in the one slide that can change the CEO’s mind. By shifting Costing/SCMPE into SPOM and making it very easy to clear: The result is a gap. Others are already moving into that space: If CAs stop being the obvious choice for strategic costing, performance management and decision support, CMAs and ACCAs will increasingly own that territory here and overseas. AI, Compliance And The Future Of CA Jobs Technology is pushing the profession in one direction: Now imagine adding lakhs of new members while: The “CA” label alone won’t guarantee the lifestyle or career trajectory many students expect. The sustainable defence is upskilling — analytics, strategic finance, business partnering, and technology‑driven value creation. In short: move from doing to advising. That’s where the fees, and the interesting work, will be. “10L+ CA Students”: Headline vs Reality We often hear that there are more than 10 lakh CA students. But CA registration remains valid for 5 years: So here’s a blunt question: Are we running the ecosystem for real learning and outcomes—or are we chasing headline numbers? Where ICAI Actually Deserves Credit Despite these concerns, the growth in membership is not inherently bad. There are clear upsides: The key issue is how this boom is used. Numbers alone cannot protect the profession; it’s what we do with them that counts. What Should The Profession Do With This Boom? To convert the membership explosion into a genuine long‑term advantage, three things are urgent:

CA Inter Accounts Self-Study Tips & Tricks

Studybytech / December 10, 2025

CA Inter Classes ICAI Registration Process, Fees, & Syllabus Admit Card Exam Dates Study Guides & Tips CA Inter faculties FAQ Preparing for CA Inter Accounts through self-study is completely achievable, especially with the right guidance and structured approach. At StudyByTech, many students rely on self-study along with smart resources, and Accounts often becomes their most scoring subject when they follow the right strategy. Start With ICAI Material Always treat ICAI Study Material, RTPs and past papers as your primary base. These reflect the exact pattern, level, and style of questions you will face in the exam. Using them early helps you think in the same language as the examiner and avoid surprises in the paper. Books provided at StudyByTech for CA Inter level are a good combination of questions from ICAI study mat+RTP+MTP+PYQPs. Build Conceptual Clarity First Do not jump directly to big questions without understanding concepts. Focus on: Why a particular concept id made?. Logic behind journal entries, adjustments, and standards. Links between AS/Ind AS and practical questions. If a chapter feels heavy (like Consolidation, Amalgamation, or ESOP), break it into smaller sub-topics and target one concept at a time instead of attempting the whole chapter in a single sitting. Create a Chapter-Wise Study Plan Divide the Accounts syllabus into: Heavy chapters: Consolidation, Amalgamation, ESOP, Buyback, Redemption, Financial Statements. Moderate chapters: Investment, Insurance claims, Branch, Departmental, etc. Quick chapters: Accounting policies, basics, small theory-linked areas. Design a 5 month plan where: First cycle(3 months): Concept building + solving basic to moderate problems. Second cycle(2 months): Advanced questions + past papers + time-bound practice. Practice in Exam Format Accounts is not just about solving questions, it’s about presenting them as per exam standards. While practicing, always: Write full formats (Balance Sheet, P&L, working notes). Show clear workings and label them properly. Practice under timed conditions (e.g., 25–30 minutes per long question or full 3-hour mock). This improves speed, accuracy, and confidence. Use Smart Notes and Formula Sheets Prepare quick revision notes alongside your first reading: List of important formats and proformas. Adjustment-wise treatment (e.g., how to treat proposed dividend, bonus issue, debenture conversion etc.). Key points of AS/Ind AS relevant for Accounts. These short notes will save you hours during the last 7–10 days before the exam. Analyze Past Papers and RTPs Before the exam, solve: At least 3–5 past attempt question papers. Latest 2–3 RTPs and MTPs. This will: Show you the most frequently tested topics. Help you understand the marking pattern and weightage. Train your mind to handle mixed questions under pressure. Focus on Presentation & Working Notes Even if your final answer goes slightly wrong, clear working notes can still earn you marks. So always: Number your workings. Keep steps readable and logical. Use proper headings and totals. Good presentation often makes the difference between 35–38 and 50+. Time Management Strategy in the Exam During the paper: Start with your strongest questions to build confidence. Don’t get stuck on a single adjustment; if confused, mark it and move on. Keep last 10–15 minutes only for review and quick completion. Target at least 80–85 marks worth of attempted questions with reasonable accuracy. Stay Consistent and Avoid Over-Resources One common mistake in self-study is using too many books and too many sources. Stick to: One main book/notes you’re comfortable with. ICAI material, RTPs and past papers as non-negotiable. Depth is more important than variety. Revising one good source multiple times is better than touching five sources once. Final 7–10 Days Revision Plan In the last phase: Revise all formats and key concepts daily. Attempt 1 paper or 2–3 big questions in a timed manner. Focus on weak chapters, but do not ignore your strong ones completely. A good mix of smart planning, concept clarity, consistent practice, and exam-style writing will make CA Inter Accounts one of your highest-scoring subjects, even with pure self-study. Conclusion For CA Inter Accounts, self-study works brilliantly when you follow a clear plan, stick to the right material, and practice in exam conditions. With disciplined preparation and the right guidance from platforms like StudyByTech, you can convert Accounts into a high-scoring subject and build a strong foundation for the rest of your CA journey. FAQs Which group is easy in CA Intermediate? Drawing from our extensive experience at StudyByTech, most students find Group 2 relatively more approachable.

Each group has its challenges, but our systematic teaching approach makes complex topics manageable. We recommend to tudy both group together and then decide whether you should give both or group wise exam. Can I clear CA Inter by self study?

Our students benefit from his 20 years of teaching experience, regular doubt-clearing sessions, and proven problem-solving techniques.

Although it is recommended to resume CA Final studies soon after passing CA Inter exams. Which group is harder in CA Inter? At StudyByTech, we’ve observed that most students consider Group 1 slightly more challenging due to technical papers like Advanced Accounting & Taxation. However, with our faculties expertise in all subjects and our structured study approach, our students master all subjects effectively. The key isn’t which group is harder, but how well you prepare – we ensure thorough preparation for both groups through our proven methodology.

Benefits of Parag Gupta sir’s CA Inter Cost & Management Accounting Booster Batch

studybytech-admin / October 13, 2025

If your CA Inter Cost & Management Accounting Sept 2026 attempt is looming near and you are concerned about completing the entire Costing syllabus within the time constraint, Parag Gupta sir’s Booster Batch is the ideal answer. Structured for high-impact learning, the batch completes the entire syllabus in a mere 130 hours, getting you prepared in-depth in just 45 days without sacrificing quality. What You Receive in This Booster Subscription Why This Works for Sept 2026 Students With this batch, you’re not merely covering syllabus—you’re purposefully preparing for optimum performance in minimal time. 🎯 Where to focus first? Let me save your months of wrong effort. Most students jump into Process Costing or Contract Costing blindly, thinking “syllabus toh complete karna hai.” But here’s the reality – in the ICAI exam, Cost Sheet + Cost Accounting System alone can bring you 30+ marks. Yes, you read that right. Meanwhile, students keep grinding on chapters worth just 6–8 marks, ignoring the gold mines. I’ve seen this pattern year after year. That’s exactly why I sat down and created a clear chapter-wise priority table – based on actual ICAI paper trends, not random guesswork. A few takeaways from that strategy: If you want to stop guessing and start studying smart, 👉 [check the full strategy + planner here] – it takes 3 minutes to read and can save you weeks of confusion. 📘 Costing exam tips: study smart, revise better, and nail the last day Costing can feel like a maze of formulas, working notes, and tricky numericals. But here’s the thing — it’s also one of the most scoring subjects if you approach it right. Let me break down exactly how I’d want you to study at each stage. 🧠 First study phase: Build rock-solid concepts (don’t jump to problems)Most students start solving questions even before they understand why a formula exists. Big mistake.Costing is interconnected — each chapter builds on the previous one. So here’s what works: 🔁 Revision phase: Smart repetition, not blind rereadingRevision is where average students become toppers — or lose everything they learned. ⏳ Last few days before exam: No new topics, only smart recallsThis is critical. The last 2–3 days are not for learning — they are for revision and confidence building.Here’s my tried-and-tested last-day routine: Go chapter by chapter: material costing formulas, labour variances, overhead variances, marginal costing ratios, everything.Don’t solve new problems now. Just revise concepts, glance at formats, and trust your preparation. 📌 Important tip for the exam hall 🧐 Parag Gupta Sir vs Other Faculties – A Reality Check Let’s be real. As a CA Inter student, you have many options. But not all courses are built the same. Below is a simple, no-fluff comparison so you can decide what works best for your preparation. Feature ✅ CA Parag Gupta Sir ❌ Other Faculties Total Course Duration 130 hours – high-impact, to the point. No unnecessary stretching. 200+ hours – longer doesn’t always mean better. Sometimes it’s just repetitive. Study Material 8th Edition book – loved by students, updated as per ICAI, practical & exam-focused. Average material. Often outdated or too bulky without proper prioritisation. Doubt Resolution Same day, personal call – talk directly to me. No waiting, no bots. Telegram group support – replies take days, sometimes a week. You’re stuck when you need help most. Tests & Test Series Included in the batch – regular unit tests, part tests, and full mock test series. No extra cost. Test series is separate or not included at all. You end up paying more or skipping practice. 🗣️ What students actually have to say about Parag sir- FAQ’s Why is Parag Gupta sir considered best CA Inter Cost & Management Accounting faculty? As an ex-examiner, Parag Gupta sir ensures that all common mistakes made by students shall be discussed during concept classes, helping students to score better. Also, his book of CA Inter Costing always contains variety of question so that student’s can practice all types of questions all together. What is the validity of CA Inter Costing Booster batch by Parag Gupta? Validity for the course will be 6 months. Does the CA Inter Costing booster batch include a full syllabus or just exam oriented topics?

CA Final IBS September 2025: Complete Exam Review & Future Strategy

studybytech-admin / September 18, 2025

Let’s dive into a comprehensive analysis of the CA Final IBS September 2025 examination. After all, it’s essential to understand exactly what the examiner asked from each subject and how the paper’s structure has evolved. This analysis will help both current students and future aspirants strategize effectively. Take a look on Parag sir’s review on CA Final IBS Sept 2025 exam: CA Parag Gupta Major Shift: CA Final May 2025 CA Final Sept 2025 Group 1 weightage was 40 marks FR was of 12 marks Group 1 weightage was of 53 marksFR was of 22 marks Group 2 weightage was 43 marks Group 2 weightage was of 37 marks SPOM- 42 marksOut of which SPOM-set B was of 24 marks & SPOM-set A was of 18 marks SPOM- 35 marksOut of which SPOM-set B was of 22 marks & SPOM-set A was of 13 marks Group 1 Takes Center Stage The most significant observation from September 2025 is the substantial increase in Group 1 weightage. Group 1 weightage increased from 40 marks to 53 marks, a staggering 32.5% increase which shows evidence of a purposeful change on the part of the examiner, signaling an increase in the emphasis placed on foundational subjects. Financial Reporting (FR) has seen the most substantial level of change, from 12 marks to 22 marks. This is significant enough that students will no longer be able to treat FR as an afterthought. Group 2 Sees Strategic Reduction In contrast, Group 2 has seen a substantial reduction in its weightage. The weightage has decreased from 43 to 37 marks. This adjustment validates the examiner’s rebalancing approach. While this group, made up of Direct Tax (DT) and Indirect Tax (IDT), holds a smaller mark weightage as part of the total than before, it is still a notable part to achieve overall success. The SPOM Reality Check: Your Make-or-Break Subject Now, let’s discuss the elephant in the room – Self Paced Online Module(SPOM). Many students ask, “Which subjects of SPOM are most important for CA Final IBS exam?” Here is the full story: Current Attempt (September 2025): Total SPOM: 35 marks SPOM-set A(SCPM): 22 marks Law: 13 marks Previous Attempt: Total SPM: 42 marks SCPM: 24 marks Law: 18 marks While SPOM has slightly decreased from 42 to 35 marks, here’s the critical insight: if you want to clear IBS, you must give maximum attention on SCPM. Why? Because SCPM has emerged as the most important subject for CA Final IBS exam. Why SCPM is Your Gateway to Success Look at the pattern: while other subjects’ figures keep fluctuating up and down, SCPM’s figures are almost consistent. This consistency makes one thing absolutely clear – you cannot ignore SCPM, and you certainly cannot take it lightly. If you approach it casually, your entire paper will suffer. For future aspirants, juniors, or those who haven’t appeared this time, here’s what you need to focus on: treat SCPM preparation exactly like you prepared for Group 1 and Group 2. Don’t fall into the trap thinking that “SCPM can be managed with a limited set of MCQs.” This mindset is fundamentally wrong. The Study Strategy That Actually Works You need to study systematically and wholeheartedly. Check which topics are located where. As students face problem in exam despite having an open-book examination lasting 4 hours, students fail to locate which topic is where and what has been asked from which section. They get stuck and waste precious time. Revise the gist of the concepts, to make it possible to complete th exam. Conclusion: Your Path Forward At the September 2025 CA Final IBS exam, it has been clearly demonstrated that consistency beats erraticism. While the weightages of either Group 1 or Group 2 may change, SCPM remains your constant stable parameter that can facilitate or hamper your IBS results. Do not take a chance with your CA Final journey. Respect the importance of SCPM and prepare for it accordingly, and SCPM will become your greatest asset in giving you the ability to pass the IBS paper. Consistency with preparation leads to consistent results in CA Final.

Set C provides 10 elective subjects such as Risk Management, Sustainable Development, International Taxation. Set D comprises 4 multidisciplinary courses such as Constitution of India, Entrepreneurship, Psychology, and Digital Ecosystem. Parag sir’s lectures of Set B (Strategic Cost & Performance Management) are thorough in nature, explaining difficult costing & Strategic management principles simple manner. What is IBS in CA final? IBS is Paper 6: Integrated Business Solutions – a mandatory multidisciplinary case study paper for CA Final Group 2. It integrates all seven subjects of the earlier CA syllabus into integrated business situations. The paper tests students’ skills in analyzing intricate business situations and offering complete solutions. Is the spom exam easy? SPOM papers are relatively simpler than CA Final exams. These comprise MCQs with no negative marking and unlimited attempts. Yet, recent trends indicate Set B(Costing) becoming tough for most students, so adequate preparation is required.
