Intermediate is the second level of CA course. There are 8 papers in the syllabus which needs to be cleared to become eligible for CA final course. ICAI schedules CA Intermediate Exams in May and November. Soon after CA intermediate registration students need to spend 8 months in CA intermediate exams preparation, which is mandatory by ICAI.Before we dive into how to create your study plan let us first focus on why most students fail for the exams. Once we understand those pitfalls then we can build a strategy to avoid them at all costs.
Why do so many students fail in the CA exams?
- Negativity which sets in your mind - There is a lot of negativity surrounding the course, you may get in touch with students who haven’t cleared the paper and this can severely demotivate you.
- Not sticking to the proper course structure - Instead of focusing on the prescribed books by ICAI students focus on other textbooks available in the market.
- Lack of proper guidance - The ICAI changes their exam patterns regularly as well as the syllabus. It’s very important to make sure you are not studying from obsolete materials. Join a coaching institute who have a proven track record.
