Evaluation:

Assessment at all three levels trains students in problem-solving skills. The basic level is with subjective and objective question types. The intermediate level has a closed book exam, MCQ question types with case studies are for thirty percent, and the rest of seventy percent is for descriptive type questions. The structure of the final level is an open book examination for all articles and 30% per MCQ, and seventy percent for descriptive type questions and multidisciplinary articles. A multidisciplinary case study touches on all the other topics. Students tend to prepare for this topic with model questions and take notes on the important points of the case study. It is to redefine the statement of the problem with the analysis. Locating information makes sense and helps decision-making. Students must complete two case studies within the allotted time of four hours. MCQs, case studies, multidisciplinary case studies, open book exams and closed book exams are the different models that assess the student's brain. The international exams consist of computer-based MCQ tests and paper-based descriptive question tests. This model is sound because it tests knowledge and the application of knowledge.

Conclusion :

In a recession, money market and stock market movements are not linear. The market is prone to risk and buyer interest is eroding every day. Inflation, interest rates, crude oil, the logistics market, and the fluctuating performance of technology companies create stress for business owners. Data and statistics predict risk and plans to be implemented. Education must reflect national challenges and international challenges. Changes in education and training impart practical knowledge to students. Chartered accountancy is one of the most difficult training courses in the accounting profession. The ICAI institute limits the number of passages according to demand and supply. It is important to train the best professionals. ICAI's motto is to increase eminent talent. Open feedback from members and academics helps structure the course based on current challenges.
