From where should I take online classes for ACCA skill level papers?

​

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the final year of my B.Com from IGNOU and I’m planning to start ACCA. I’m expected to graduate in 2027, and based on my degree I may receive around 4–5 exemptions after graduation.

The problem is that I’m not eligible for conditional exemptions while I’m still studying.

So I’m confused about what would be the better strategy:

Option 1: Register for ACCA now and start giving papers from the beginning.

Option 2: Don’t register for ACCA yet. Instead, study the Applied Knowledge/Skills subjects on my own over the next year to build a strong foundation, without paying for exams that I may eventually get exempted from. Then, after graduating in 2027 and receiving my exemptions, start giving the remaining papers — ideally I’d like to be prepared enough to attempt around 5–6 papers by December 2027.

Financially, Option 2 seems more sensible to me because I wouldn’t want to spend money on exams that I might later receive exemptions for.

However, some coaching institutes are telling me that ACCA may introduce negative marking from next year, some papers may be removed or the syllabus may change, and that students with exemptions are less preferred by employers.

I’m not sure how much of this is actually true.

So I’d really appreciate advice from current ACCA students or people who have recently completed ACCA:

Would you recommend registering now or waiting until graduation?

Is it actually a disadvantage to have exemptions when applying for jobs, especially Big 4/MNC jobs in India?

Is there any real benefit to sitting papers that I could eventually get exempted from?

Are there any confirmed major changes to ACCA exams/syllabus that should make me start earlier?

If you were in my position, what strategy would you follow?

I’m mainly planning to build my career in India, preferably in Big 4/MNCs.

Would really appreciate honest advice..
