Compulsory Oral/Postal Coaching
Every student taking up the final courses, should undergo compulsory coaching with the respective institution. The coaching may be taken up at the discretion of the student in any one of the two modes, either ORAL or POSTAL.
Students will be eligible to appear at the main/final examination conducted by the institute only after they have successfully completed the coaching process.
Oral Coaching
Taking oral coaching is like joining a recognized institution and going to college for classes.
A student may join any one of the coaching classes conducted by
- The institute at its offices (Head Office/Regional Office/Chapters).
- Colleges and Private Coaching Centers accredited by the Institute for conducting oral coaching classes i.e. imparting oral coaching.
The coaching process involves conduction of teaching classes and examinations at the end of the coaching period. A student will be made eligible to appear at the main examinations only if he qualifies in the end examinations conducted by the oral coaching center that he/she joins.
You can compare it with joining a degree college for being eligible to appear at the university B.Com examination as a regular candidate. The end examinations can be understood as an equivalent of the pre-public that the colleges conduct. Getting through the pre-public (i.e. end exam) here is compulsory for the institutes examination.
Postal Coaching
Taking postal coaching is like joining any correspondence course. A student has to prepare on his own. No teaching classes would be conducted.
The student is supplied with a set of study material in each subject. A set of question papers would also be supplied along with the study material. The total material is divided into parts and the question papers would be such that a student would be able to answer the first set after studying a part of the material. The answers to the question papers provided with the study material are to be periodically submitted within the prescribed time limits.
The submitted answer papers would be evaluated and returned to the students. A student has to qualify in the required number of papers to be eligible for appearing at the main examination.
This would amount to doing a correspondence course and attending the pre-public examination at home and and sending the answer papers for evaluation to the institute.
The time limits prescribed are for getting eligibility to appear for the main examination conducted during a specific term. If the papers are submitted beyond the time limit for a specific examination, the student would be eligible to appear at the subsequent examination.
Medium of Instruction and End Examination
ORAL Coaching
The Oral coaching classes are conducted in English medium in majority of the places or coaching centers. The institute as well as other coaching centers especially in the Hindi speaking regions may conduct the coaching in Hindi medium also or only Hindi medium based on the requirements of the students.
For availability of coaching classes in Hindi medium, please enquire with the respective coaching centers.
POSTAL Coaching
Postal coaching is available only in English medium. However Hindi translation of material can be obtained from the board of studies of the relevant institutes.
For availability of the Hindi material enquire with the respective regional councils.
The student should take precaution to ensure that he is specifically mentioning his choice of medium (for obtaining the study material) at the time of registration.
English only in English
Courses involving English language like drafting and communication etc., will be imparted only in English medium.
Examinations at the end of the course
The final examinations for the Final level Courses can be written in two media either ENGLISH or HINDI.
Taking Oral and Postal Coaching at the Same Time
Taking up one of the modes of coaching is compulsory. A student who is registered for oral or postal coaching should obtain the Eligibility Certificate (EC) | Coaching Completion Certificate (CC) through that mode only.
A student will be considered as a registered student for the purpose of issue of EC|CC only in one form of coaching. He cannot register in both forms at the same time for the purpose of issuance of certificate of successful completion of coaching.
However the student registered under one form may take up the other form of coaching for the purpose of academic convenience or benefit. If taking up oral coaching in addition to postal coaching or vice versa, it is obvious that the student has to bear the cost of both the forms of coaching.
Students already registered for Oral Coaching
Students undergoing oral coaching may feel the need for taking up postal coaching for obtaining the study material or getting the benefit of answering more papers which would be evaluated.
However, since students undergoing oral coaching can also purchase the study material additionally (if they are not provided a set) and the institution providing coaching would make enough provisions for giving the students adequate timely tests, taking up postal coaching may not be that useful and therefore is not encouraged (it is not barred).
Students already registered for Postal Coaching
Students undergoing postal coaching may feel the need for taking up oral coaching for getting the benefit of class room teaching. This can be done by enrolling as a student at the respective oral coaching center by paying the requisite coaching fee.
Trying to register for the second form of coaching with the intent of obtaining EC|CC through the second registration may result in the registration of the student being canceled.
Oral Coaching for a Module and Postal Coaching for the other
First Registered for Postal Coaching
First Registered for Oral Coaching
If a student has registered for postal coaching first, he/she would have paid the total fee for both the groups initially since there is no installment facility.
In such a case, a student intending to take up oral coaching for one of the groups requires him/her to bear the extra expenditure for enrolling for oral coaching.
If the oral coaching center provides for registering for each group separately, then the student might have paid the fee for only one group.
Even in such a case, the postal registration for the group for which no coaching has been taken up requires the student to pay up the full fee for both the groups since no specific mention is made regarding the fee for one group.
Thus in both the cases above, it would be amounting to taking up the other form of coaching not for the purpose of obtaining the coaching completion certificate.
