The Board of Studies, in its endeavour to assist students in attempting a case study based paper, has come out with a Case Study Digest in each of the six elective papers [Paper 6A to 6F] at the Final level. The same would be relevant from May, 2021 examination. The Case Study Digest in each elective paper is a compilation of high-quality case studies involving application of higher level analytical and interpretational skills in answering the MCQs and descriptive questions (in the form of computation or otherwise) based thereon. The process of reading the case studies, identifying the issues involved and solving the questions based thereon by applying the concepts/standards/provisions dealt with in the respective subject(s) will help students gain confidence in attempting a case study based paper and enable them to approach the examination with confidence and a positive attitude.
