Accountancy Question wise Analysis of SET – 1 (outside Delhi):

• Question No. 1 to 6 (one mark questions) were very lengthy and time consuming.
• Question No. 7 was completely unexpected and students wasted their valuable time in understanding this question especially the ‘Discount on issue of 9% debentures has not been written off’’ part was out of reach for most of the students.
• Question No. 9 (SET -1 OD) was very tricky for students because value of machinery was not given directly. Students were confused about one combined entry is to be made or separate entries is to be done for each part.
• In Question No. 12 Students were confused about the Interest on drawings because as per the rule it cannot be 1,500 (given in the question).

According to media reports, the exam was easy, but quite lengthy for the students to solve in the given frame of time.

Also, most of the students found section A tougher than section B– “There was one out-of-the-syllabus question asked in section A,”says one of the students in an interview to India Today Education.

Moreover, the students also mentioned that the paper was different from last year and the questions were completely opposite in pattern, though quite easy.
