Accounting & Commerce

Hi,
Well, I would say that both are very different.
1. CA is a professional degree which if accompanied with graduation and Masters offers value added services. Whereas I.A.S is civil services, and to sit for the same, graduation in any discipline is must.
2. CA offers jobs in both public and private sector while civil services are only offered at government level.
3. Canada, New Zealand, Australia are three top recruiters of accountants (you need to sit for a few exams) while there is no option of getting posted abroad as an I.A.S officer.
So, you may take up a graduation of 3 years in relevant field of commerce, go for CA also side by side and then further you may take up civil service (age limit is 21-30 years). Make sure once you are done with the article ship, then you go for writing the exam.
There are companies in India hiring large number of CA professionals. To name a few, I can suggest you with Ernst & Young, HSBC Bank, ICICI Prudential, Om Kotak Mahindra, Birla Sun-Life, Tata AIF Life, Reliance, HDFC Standard Life, Max New York Life, Banks like SBI, HSBC, Bureau of Public Enterprises, government financial institutions and stock exchanges, universities, etc
While IAS joins the state administration at the divisional level, as a sub-magistrate, and looks after law and order, general administration and development work in the area under his charge.
Feel free to revert. In case it resolves, appreciate by liking it or marking as best.
All the best.
