First and foremost, you will be eligible to sit for the BCOM(A&F) term-end examination only if you submit assignments relevant to your course. To do so, you must first download the assignment question papers from the IGNOU portal online or visit the regional centre, where they will provide you with the question papers offline, and then write the answers for those assignments and submit them at the applicable study centre you selected during your course registration. Obtain an acknowledgement copy of the submission status and check the submission status online on a regular basis.
If you have passed your CA- CPT (foundation) and CA- IPCC (intermediate), you will be exempt from writing a few subjects.
The application process for examinations can be done online or offline. Your examination application will only be processed if your assignment submission status is updated online.
If you are applying offline, you must obtain a copy of the application printout or purchase it from the IGNOU office, complete it, and have it signed by study centre personnel before mailing it to the regional centre corresponding to your exam centre of choice, along with a DD for the desired examination fee as prescribed.
In terms of preparation, you should focus on your upcoming CA final exams first, and then immediately begin working on your BCOM exam preparation. IGNOU's study material is more than adequate, and it attempts to cover all of the volumes contained within it.
Furthermore, you can download previous years' question papers from the IGNOU portal (minimum up to three attempts suggested and maximum depending on time available) and try to answer those questions accordingly.
