Be Like Guddu

Be Like Guddu is a series of posts to give you an insight into the strategies and mantras that a CA-IPCC aspirant must follow.

Mantra Number 1

ICAI’s Study Material or Practice Manual are important exam documents. But we often complain regarding the errors or inconsistencies in certain questions or topics explained in them.
However, not so often do we try to clarify them from the Institute.

Here, we share with you the link of contact details of ‘Faculty-Board of Studies’ and query resolving process to make things easier for you.

Mantra Number 2

The idea is to derive the benefits, so you may either sit for any mock test series (preferably for the subjects that scares you or are lengthy) or download any previous year paper from BOS student portal and attempt it in examination conditions. The answers can then be checked with the help of suggested answers.
