How to Use This Weightage

Lead with Accounts, Audit, Foreign Companies (30–35% of Part I: Company Law and Limited Liability Partnership Law). It carries the most marks in the paper, so it should get your first and deepest revision pass — followed by Companies Act - Preliminary & Incorporation (20–30% of Part I: Company Law and Limited Liability Partnership Law). Together the top two areas are roughly 41 of the 100 marks.

Practise, don't just read. For the heavy sections, work through past papers, MTPs and RTPs rather than re-reading notes — ICAI reuses question patterns closely. You'll find 22 Corporate and Other Laws papers with suggested answers on this site.

Don't abandon the low-weight sections. They are usually smaller in scope and often the easiest, most predictable marks — a quick, reliable buffer toward the 40-mark pass line. Always confirm the current attempt's amendments against the latest ICAI RTP.
