IBBI Plant & Machinery study plan

Map the full IBBI Plant & Machinery syllabus into a personal topic checklist with confidence ratings from 1 to 5

Define and distinguish plant, machinery, equipment, and spares, and classify 20 real asset items from an industrial site into these categories

List the statutory and regulatory framework governing plant and machinery valuation in India, including IBBI registration, valuation standards, and relevant company law provisions

Build a formula sheet covering cost, market, and income approaches at an introductory level

Compute depreciation under straight-line, written-down value, and sum-of-years-digits methods and compare results on the same asset

Explain the role of useful life, salvage value, and remaining economic life in valuation

Analyze obsolescence types (physical, functional, technological, economic) and quantify their impact on value

Reconcile book value, depreciated replacement cost, and fair value for a single machine

Apply the cost approach end to end: replacement cost new, adjustments, and depreciation deductions

Estimate replacement cost new using vendor quotations, price indices, and capacity-cost scaling (six-tenths rule)

Adjust for freight, erection, foundation, and installation costs to arrive at landed installed cost

Identify common errors in cost approach application and describe how to avoid them

Apply the market approach using comparable sales, including normalization and adjustment grids

Select and adjust comparables for age, capacity, condition, and location

Explain the income approach for income-producing machinery such as leased equipment

Justify approach selection and weighting in a valuation conclusion

Conduct and document a physical inspection, including nameplate data capture and condition grading

Prepare a condition assessment scale and apply it to at least ten asset items

Identify safety, access, and documentation constraints during site inspection

Structure a data request list for plant and machinery valuation engagements

Value specialized and custom-built machinery where market comparables are scarce

Handle assets under construction, capital work in progress, and idle or mothballed plant

Address imported machinery, including customs duty, currency, and spares availability effects

Assess intangible-linked plant items such as tooling, dies, and software-embedded controls

Draft a compliant plant and machinery valuation report with all mandatory disclosures

Apply IBBI valuation standards and report content requirements to a sample engagement

Identify common non-compliance and documentation gaps in valuation reports

Write clear assumptions, limiting conditions, and scope statements

Revise all weak topics flagged in the week 1 confidence map

Complete timed practice on numerical problems covering depreciation, indexation, and cost buildup

Summarize key regulatory provisions and standards into a one-page recall sheet

Simulate exam conditions with a full-length self-test and review every error
