Amendments and Publications for CA Final Examination November-2012

As ICAI examinations are more practical, all students must have to go through the relevant amendments which the CA Institute has published from time to time. Therefore, all students must be aware of the Institutes Pronouncements, Publications and other notifications for the coming exam to be held in May and November every year. If you analyse/ evaluate the pattern of even the last 3-5 attempt Question Papers then you come to know that the institute has given more stress on their Study Materials, Practice Manuals and Revision Test Papers (RTP) and therefore all the materials provided by CA Institute are more than enough for scoring good marks in your coming examination. Never go for selective study as because ICAI is evaluating their students by asking questions from each and every topic of the syllabus. Try to avoid unnecessary and irrelevant answers and write to the point as the level of knowledge of a CA Final student should be Expert Knowledge and not working Knowledge. However, ICAI has announced that the following relevant amendments and topics are most important for every student who will appear for their CA Final November, 2012 Examination.
