K.

Jitendra. D. Yalvigi @ The two day session was really refreshing with lots of clarity on the fundamental concepts.  It was very interactive.  As the subject is very  vast two days is very short time.  However, it was a best effort.

R. Priya @ The class which was conducted on 11th and 12th of December, 2010 on Financial Management was very useful to me.  I came to know many hidden areas which I omitted in my study.  Raju Sir taught us in a very practical way which helped me to focus the subject very clearly.  I am very satisfied in attending this crash course.

B. Srinivas @ Good and practical.  Focussed on Exam.  SIRC should start weekend programs for such subjects.

Feedback by Students who attended CS-EP-Tax Laws classes on 4th and 5th of December at SIRC-ICSI, Chennai

Bijal Jalpa Mohit @ The programme conducted on Tax Laws was very knowledgeable and has given more confidence in students from exam point of view.  But if the crash course were extended for one or two more days it could have covered the portions extensively.  Very good teaching indeed.

Harish Ragunathan @  The session was illuminating, enabling me to understand more clearly.  I have understood the importance of each chapter and its purpose clearly.  It has stirred an interest in me to learn more by way of higher qualification aspirations. The faculty was excellent in his presentation and explained everything clearly. Similar crash courses could be conducted fro CCMA also.

Sreedevi. K @ Really useful from exam point of view.  Please conduct crash course for CAMA & GCL also in future, so that we will gain confidence.  Thank you.

Balamurugan. R @ It is really a valuable and worthful class for me to learn a lot about Income Tax Act.  I felt the difference between oral coaching and postal one.  I have decided to join oral coaching classes of the Institute in the forthcoming modules. 

Lakshmi. V @  This two day Tax Laws Crash Course was extremely useful.  The method of going question paper-wise proved very beneficial and helped in inducing confidence.  The whole session was motivational, encouraging and interesting.  This idea of a two day crash course is very good.  If this could be applied for all subjects, it would be very helpful.  Kudos to our speaker! Thank you, Sir.

Anusha. G @ Very useful session.  We understood the importance of lot of topics.  We also got a lot of doubts cleared.  We have a good clarity now.  I wish chapter by chapter run-through is given so that we can mark the important parts accordingly.  Thank you Sir, for the crash course.  Kindly upload the powerpoint presentation for our persual.  It would really help us a lot.

K. Sudhakar @ Better coverage in less time and helps the students to face exams confidently.  Thank you very much.

Sridevi. U. S. @ We benefitted a lot during these two days class.  We will be happy if we get this option for all other subjects.  Many are not aware about these courses.  Please make sure it reaches every student.  Thank you once again for gaining us more knowledge.
