One of the core subjects and highly interesting. You have studied this in CA Foundation so you must be thoroughly aware about it. This practical subject shall help you fetch really good marks if you practice regularly and conceptually. CA Mohinder Chawla Sir at Mitkary’s CAPS Academy shall help you with this subject.
Paper 2: Corporate and Other Laws:
This is a remarkable subject and shall always help you with practical implications. These subjects require a good command of the language with thorough knowledge of Corporate and Other Laws sections. Mnenomics, Charts etc. shall help you fetch good marks with this as well. Conceptual clarity is the key which is very well dealt with in the class by our CA Inter Law faculty Prof. Darshan Mitkary.
Paper 3: Taxation
This is a new subject for CA Inter students but it would be very practically dealt with by our faculty CA Rishab Poddar. He would teach you this subject in the most practical way with superb conceptual clarity which would not only help you with your CA Inter exams but also help you with Articleship.

SM is a theory subject which is very much linked with Strategic Management of the corporations. Don’t worry Mnemonics, Charts, notes etc. by our faculty Prof. Vrinda Mitkary helps you get a good score in SM.
This was all about the subjects and the faculties, now comes another aspect of how a student must prepare for these subjects.
- First of all, always aim for both the groups together and strive to clear it in your very first attempt.
- Start your CA Inter coaching as soon as CA Foundation results are out. The early bird always fetches the catch. Don’t waste your time waiting.
- You have 30 marks MCQ in each paper and the rest 70 marks are for descriptive answers. Also take note that there are NO NEGATIVE MARKING for CA Intermediate MCQ’s.
- Never underestimate the power of self study.
- Revise what is taught in the class everyday at home.
- Aim for atleast 3 revisions before your CA Inter Exams. So if you have your CA Inter Exam in Jan 2026 you must complete 3 revisions in November 2025 and appear for test series after that.
- Solve as many question papers as possible. Appear for at least 2 rounds test series.
- Solve RTP’s, MTP’s and past exam papers released by ICAI before your CA Inter exam.
- Never keep doubts to yourself. Mitkary’s CAPS CA Inter faculties are always available for your doubt solving.
- Set up a regular study plan that suits you. Don’t blindly follow your friend’s study plan. Everyone has a different body type, study and sleep pattern. Follow a time table that suits you and your sleep cycle. It’s not bad to study till late at night or even rising early.
- Have a balance in your studies and your co-curriculum. Do engage in anything that relaxes you like reading, music, a nature walk, cooking etc. This shall rejuvenate you and help boost your energy for studies.
I hope this blog will help you with your CA Inter Jan 26 preparations.
