CA IPCC Nagpur Topper 36th All India Rank Mr. Sashank Kumar
You get maximum time for self-study. Morning 6 to 11am + Evening 7 to 10pm. i.e., approximately 8 hours per day (i.e. around 1440 hours in 6 months) We dont take few classes in the morning and few in the evening as it results in wastage of at least 2 to 3 hours daily on commutation and thereby reducing the time for self-study which is of utmost importance. If you join classes at many places, youll not only loose lot of time on running from one place to another but also not be able to concentrate in the class. Timing best suited for Monsoon & Winter session Best program for outstation student also
