Points To Consider While Choosing CA Final Elective

2018 saw the initial introduction of the CA final elective paper concept. Since then, four years have passed, yet many students are still unable to comprehend the smallest elements, such as what, why, how, and when of final elective assignments.

  1. Elective paper is a 4-hour long open-book exam. You must complete four case studies in the allotted time for the exam. Select the option that has a lot of resources accessible.
  2. Each case study is worth 25 points total, which is broken down into 10 points for MCQs and 15 points for the case study descriptions. Take into account this grade distribution when choosing the elective paper.
  3. Always choose the option in which you are proficient because English is the exam language.
  4. Do your research and consider if you will have enough time to complete all of the case studies.
