Prem Bafna (AIR 33 CA Inter)
I studied all 6 subjects at JKSC from CA Inter. All the faculties are very good and helpful with doubt solving and concept clarity. Something I found most helpful was the prelims held by JKSC. I was initially confused about where I should start from, what to study when, etc. But the prelims designed by JKSC gave me a plan to study, and cover all the parts in a comprehensive way. Also, the prelims gave me good writing practice which helped me improve my writing speed and the language to be used in the answer papers.
Parth Gohil (AIR 5 CA Final)
Having studied all three levels of CA with JKSC, I can say without a doubt that it has been one of the most important reasons for my achievement. JKSC has helped and guided me every step of the way during my prep. It has made my entire journey immensely manageable and rewarding.
Anjali Shukla (AIR 46 CA Final)
I have been associated with J. K. Shah Classes since my CA Foundation and JKSC has always helped me achieve good scores at all stages of CA. The faculties are really approachable, their helpline numbers are always active and my doubts were resolved very quickly. The JKSC notes and modules offered to students are concise and proper summarized copy of ICAI modules. I have always trusted JKSC with my CA preparation and I am glad that I did.
Tejas Salian (AIR 20 CA Final)
I had an amazing journey throughout my CA Intermediate and CA Final in JKSC. The institute has amazing faculties and great mentors who helped me at every step. The commitment made by JKSC towards timely completion of lectures, providing the best faculties, etc. were properly fulfilled. I thank JKSC for all the guidance that they have provided, and their contribution in helping me achieve a rank.
Kunal Mishra (AIR 36 CA Inter)
The JKSC test series – including unit-wise tests and prelims were too good! These helped me immensely to cover the syllabus in a planned manner. The guidance from the faculty was key to my successful performance. The effective teaching style of the faculty helped me remember answers with examples, that were delivered during the lectures. Overall, the test series and the guidance from JKSC faculty were truly excellent!!
Harshini Shah (AIR 14 CAFC)
The faculties are really good at their subjects and helpful. They teach in a fun and easily understandable manner. Even though the time for CA Foundation preparation was less, they ensured the syballus was ompleted in time. Overall, I had a good experience at JKSC – the management was also efficient and made CA Foundation prep feel less stressful. My experience during CA Foundation made me stay at J.K.Shah Classes for CA Intermediate course as well. I found the backup videos very helpful for revision, especially if I had missed a class.
Diya Thakkar (AIR 1 CAFC)
The best thing is the Faculty. The teachers here are friendly, they focus on concepts and not just mugging up topics. We were free to ask our doubts, and they solved them calmly. I also found the infrastructure quite impressive. The Examination system is designed to help us study each part of the syllabus well. Chapter-wise tests and prelims help a lot to cover the syllabus. Administrative staff is also supportive and available to solve our concerns.
