Now I have to decide my optionals for CE 2012 and also prepare for interview. I decided to reconsider and took a look at 2011 accounting paper again. It seemed much better and easy compared to 10 months back when I was attempting it.

All this has created a sort of dilemna for me.

Should I opt for Accounting or Psychology?

Accounting: I have read this subject in BBA and MBA and also passed the paper in CE-2011 but I was highly disappointed after the paper because pattern was changed and questions were much more complex relative to past papers. I will have to prepare it anyway for interview but frankly this subject seems risky to me. Very low preparation time but risky

Psychology: I havn't read a single word about this subject in the past but it is scoring and seems interesting. This seems to be a safe subject. High preparation time but low risk.

So what should I do? Opt accounting or psychology?
Mani I still suggest you to stick to accountancy and Auditing.

Rational behind this suggestion: The extra effort you will put in for Psychology will pay you handsome dividend in accountancy if you devote the same to accountancy. I remember, you lost your temper and went beyond professional to personal allegations in that discussion. But, I ignored these insulting attacks in the capacity of senior and responsible member of the forum.
Despite that controversy, I believe in honest suggestions. Accountancy was on a changed pattern but it was not difficult one. You made it even in that changed pattern. This was a litmus test of your grip over accountancy. You succeeded in it and will score better in 2012 attempt as well.

One should stick to his field of expertise and capitalize it by putting in extra effort rather than experiencing new subjects. Don't start new subject from zero rather revise accountancy and get sound grip on it.

Wish you good luck.
