Does this notification by ICAI mean that we can totally skip chapter 1 of Information Technology? Because both the units of chapter 1 have been excluded. Hardly a few topics are left.
@Shefali Shetty: Considering the latest study material provided by ICAI, Chapter 1 is divided into 3 units, Unit 1 - Introduction to Computers Unit 2 - Input and Output Devices, &, Unit 3 - Software; the exclusion of topics from Chapter 1 is in relation to unit 1 & 2 only, Unit 3 - "Software" remains intact in the syllabus and Questions can be asked from this unit. In addition to this certain portion of Unit 1 and 2 are still relevant like- *Functions of Computer, *Basic Architecture of Computer(without details about specific devices;Only basic structure), *Advantages and Limitations of Computer *Meaning and significance of I/O etc. So as per my opinion, Chapter 1 shouldn't be skipped totally, Unit 3 + Above small portion of Unit 1&2 still makes it an easy and potentially scoring Unit. I Hope this helped, Best of luck for your preparations!
