IBS Trend Analysis and Strategy Nov 2024
• Solve at least 10-15 case studies from case study digest release by ICAI using the material you
are going to carry in exam.
• Cover the company law & SCPM from YouTube revision, don’t memorise anything just have an
overview.
• If you are giving only Group2 and never read group 1 before then try to cover AFM & Audit from
revision videos and carry study material in exam.
(In revision videos don’t try to learn anything, just understand what is there in the chapters)
How to Attempt Paper
1. In first 15 minutes, use case study index to find if any case study repeats in exam (Don’t
invest much time in searching repeated case studies as paper will be lengthy)
2. If any case study repeated, then attempt it first.
3. Identify the qns you want to attend by reading the descriptive qns (No need to read
complete case study)
4. Prefer following types of questions while deciding which question to leave
• First priority - AFM practical question (these questions take less time and you can also
verify them quickly)
• Second priority – Audit theory question (Audit qns are straight forward and repetitive,
you can easily find them in question bank)
• Third priority – Law, DT & IDT theory question (as it will save time and fetch you more
marks)
• Fourth priority - FR practical question (Simpler than DT & IDT and less chance of mistakes)
• Last priority – DT & IDT practical question
5. For New case studies, first read the descriptive qn then read the relevant part from case
study (no need to read complete case study)
6. Aim to complete one case study in one hour (paper will be lengthy)
Exam Tips
• Paper will be lengthy as you will be searching, he answers I different material and then
writing the same will take time, while writing the answer always remember the marks
allotted for the qn.
• If you find that you will not be able to complete 100% paper then make sure that you have
Fill all the MCQ in OMR (no explanation is required)
• Write the provision/ concept of the pending qns (as 50% marks are for provision only)
Attempt Qns with multiple subparts to score maximum.
• In first 15 min, while reading the Qn, always highlight what is the ask from the Qns and
remember it while answering.
Q1: Is compilation amended and covers all the case studies (including new 15 case studies)?
Our case study compilation is amended as per May 2024 and covers all the case studies. We have
verified all descriptive answers with Atul sir book, you can also match few.
We haven't removed some questions (AS, CSR etc.) which are not in new syllabus as I believe if
institute repeat any case study, then examiner may not verify if these topics are excluded from
syllabus.
Q2: Can we take prints now?
Yes, there will not be any more changes in existing material.
Q3: I have taken the prints earlier before 24th April, what all I have to take print now?
If you have taken print between 3rd April to 24th April
- Then take print of new case study index and MCQ index (around 30-40 pages) as new index
have page number column from compilation which will save time in exam and
- MTP April 2024
If you have taken print before 3rd April
- Then take print of new case study index and MCQ index (around 30-40 pages) as new index
have page number column from compilation which will save time in exam and
- MTP April 2024
- Amended pages of compilation (around 46 pages have some amendment so, replace them in
your compiler) and
Q4: For repeated case studies in compilation, its mentioned that some case studies are covered in
CSD, MTP or suggested answer, how to find them?
No need to find them, we have added page no. column in index so, any case study repeat then you
can go to exact page in compilation using index.
Q5: Can you please make a compilation of all Test your knowledge (TYK) for all subjects. As questions
have been asked from there in the current MTP.
One of my Friend is preparing that compilation I will share it with everyone once he completes.
Q6: Are we allowed to take this book in the exam centre?
Yes, you can take any books and hand written notes as well in exam.
Q7: Will you provide index for each study material
No and I would suggest not to carry all the ICAI study material in exam as study material are bulky
(each subject have 3-4 modules) so, it would be difficult to manage them in exam. Refer above poiny
for material to carry in exam
Q8: Paper pattern and timing?
IBS will follow the same pattern as of previous electives. Exam will be of 4 hours + 15 minutes
reading time and there will be 5 case studies of 25 marks each (10 marks MCQ and 15 marks
descriptive).
Q9: We have printed atul sir book, Is it necessary then to print urs again or can you provide index as
per Atul sir book and extra case studies which are not available in atul sir book?
In current index I will add the page number from Atul sir book and share it on Gdrive along with
additional case studies separately so, you can refer it with Atul sir book.
Q10: Can we refer Atul Agarwal IBS book instead of case study compilation?
Yes, you can refer but Atul sir book & index does not cover few case studies released before 2019 as
below but its covered in compilation. You can take its print separately from our compilation if you
want
