Friends,
We had organized for a "Chat with Seniors on your doubts regarding exams" session in 2 Whats app groups created exclusively for CS Professional program (Final).
Mr. Balaji (All India 3rd rank holder in June 2015), Mr. Ashwin who cleared course 2 years back , who has written some interesting articles for the benefit of CS members and Ms. Nirosha who cleared CS course this June had a Chat in one Group (It consists of 100 members).
Sanofar (All India 3rd Rankholder) and Shreya Gandhi who cleared Final in first attempt in Dec 2015 answered in another Whats app group (Consisting of 90 members). Ms. Aarti who has cleared Final, was a part of the group also joined later and gave her views.
The discussion was very meaningful, extremely helpful and inspiring for the students. The discussion which started at 7 Pm went upto 9.30 PM in one group & till 10 PM in another.
We sincerely thank all the young 5 CS members who clarified the doubts of the Students.
We give below the questions asked by CS Final students & the answers given for the benefit of all.
Owing to volume of discussion, this will be published in 4 parts.
The first part is shared here:
For theory questions, I used to write crisp answers. If it is 3 or 4 mark questions, write valid 6-8 points
I always used bullet points and capitals to highlight important key words. Don't drag or repeat your answer
Even for long questions, ensure you don't drag your answer for more than 2 pages.
For every chapter you study, take one A4 sheet and jot down important case laws with short statement of facts and judgement. This will definitely help you revise faster during exams.
Did you support your descriptive answers with case laws. Particularly for the Corporate Restructuring paper
Sanofar:
For questions which carry more weightage, you should definitely quote case laws which are relevant.
For theory papers like Company law and CRI , I read sections from Bare Act before going through study material. So it was easy to remember section numbers and provisos.
In Institute study material, you have many topics where a sentence is repeated in different ways. So if you feel that topic is too huge to revise during exams, on top of every page, write what's the important point that's conveyed in that page
This way when you study before exam, you can finish one page in 2-3 mins.
Do revise the lesson round up at least if you're planning to omit any chapter. ( Avoid omissions strictly. I am suggesting for inevitable circumstances)
For Strategic management, study Part B and part C first
As WTO is little technical with years and dates, don't leave it for the last minute. Study when you're relaxed. Do go through scanners also
And part-A, you can make flow charts or note down headings alone as most of them are descriptive and simple questions.
And see the type of questions they ask from scanners
And in Strategic management, presentation plays a very major role. So take care of that
How to remember the topic ministerial conferences and decisions taken therein? Because at least 1 question is surely asked.
Sanofar
Good question . Make a table. That will be helpful to have a clear understanding.
I had made a table. Take columns as Conference, dates, decision, major countries participated. Write all conferences, one by one, write 4-5 points in decisions taken, ( you can also note down y this had come). Visualize and study. You won't forget.
How to keep mentally strong during exam?
Shreya Gandhi:
Good preparation will definitely give you confidence..do your best..leave the rest to God.. Believe in hard work and God..
How you managed to study along with your training ? Read daily ?
Sanofar
I was not undergoing training but was helping my brother who was doing business while studying for CS. But I used to study daily from January for my June attempt
Please help me how to answer questions in Corporate Restructuring, Due Diligence and Corporate Governance ; it looks easier than FM and Tax while studying but it seems to be difficult while answering...
Sanofar
In CRI, study case laws as much as you can. Be thorough and quote them when ever relevant section asked. Finish mergers amalgamations and takeover thoroughly. That itself will cover 35%. Other small chapters like buy back and valuation, SARFAESI, debt recovery, etc. Study only what's important
Secretarial audit and due diligence is a combination of company law, CRI and Securities law.
Secretarial audit is so easy. Just visualize what happens in a company. What are all the compliances that are to followed, how they r to be checked. Due diligence cannot be attempted by studying scanner alone. Study material too
Corporate governance is a very easy paper. Do business ethics and sustainability first. Covers major marks. Governance is very simple. See scanners also. But institute material is a must read
For all the theory papers, I would suggest reading only the institute material..It is more than sufficient.
Shreya Gandhi:
For Due Diligence, I just read the institute material.Concentrated on secretarial audit part (25 marks) and ICDR (in the other half) other chapters like compliance management, search and seizure, legal, environmental management, Due Diligence overview are very easy..go through the scanner if you have time..Due Diligence should not be a problem if you are thorough with the material.
Corporate Governance - you will find the paper very easy if you go through the material.. Its because you will find all questions being asked from the material itself.. You will gain confidence if you read the text both before and after the exam :)
Give some idealogy on choice of question during exam
Cst Shreya Gandhi:
Answer the question which you know better and you feel is easy to score in..
Sanofar :
Please see if you are you able to attempt for 100 marks in exam. You should always attempt for total 100 marks to score above 50. If you're thinking you lack in presentation, improve that. Write legibly. Write the answer you know very well first.
Keep the answers in bullet points and crisp. You know what are important words, use them first. Choose good questions where you don't have a doubt.
Aarthi
First answer the questions you know very well...then..which you know to some extent & at at last ...questions that you need to think and have some confusion.
Is it OK not to attempt questions in sequence. Because different people have different opinions on this.
Aarthi:
No; answering questions in sequence is not neccessary. Even I answered this way in CS all levels and CA too
Sanofar
Sequence isn't necessary but avoid answering 5 (a) first and 5(b) 10 pages later. So if you answer QN. No 5, make sure you attempt all parts there itself,. Answering different parts at different places will create chaos.
************
In the next Part.....
By reading same books again and again I am getting bored day by day. This is my sixth attempt consecutively I'm losing in aggregate that too in a thin margin in modules 2,3&4. Can u please give some tips?
I am writing this attempt 4th time. Each time failing with a very short margin. So very disappointed this time. I get very tensed during exam. Only 2 papers remaining. Still worried.

Shreya Gandhi
Yes.I second that with sonofar..Jotting down points , preparing notes by urself really helps..you just need to revise that before the exam if you feel that you lack time..

Sanofar
I was not undergoing training but was helping my brother who was doing business while studying for CS. But I used to study daily from January for my June attempt
Study for at least 3 hrs a day was my plan. Either in the night or during lunch time. Sundays more time with books. Only a constant touch with books will give you the confidence. So keep studying everyday.
Sanofar
