Students preparing for the examination should give particular attention to:
A planned approach can make the CA Intermediate GST syllabus easier to complete.
Begin with the latest ICAI study material prescribed for your examination attempt. Read each chapter carefully and identify definitions, conditions, exceptions and important provisions.
Do not rely only on memorising GST provisions. Understand why a particular provision applies and practise applying it to different situations.
GST includes several application-based questions. After completing a chapter, solve practical questions to check whether you can apply the provisions correctly.
Create short revision notes for important provisions, limits, conditions and exceptions. Regular revision can help you recall them during the examination.
Practise the latest Revision Test Papers (RTPs) and Mock Test Papers (MTPs) issued by ICAI. These can help you understand the style of questions and the level of application expected in the examination.
GST laws can change through amendments, notifications and circulars. Always check the applicable statutory updates for your particular examination attempt.
Students can download the official CA Inter GST syllabus PDF and study material from ICAI. The latest study material listed by ICAI is applicable for the May 2027, September 2027 and January 2028 examinations.
