Accounting & Commerce

It's definitely possible to land a good job after completing a Commerce course, even if you don't have a perfect academic record. While a strong academic record can be an advantage, employers also value other skills and qualities.

So you need to focus on the following points:

• Practical Experience
• Skills and Abilities
• Relevant Certifications like ACCA, CMA, or other specialised courses.
• Adaptability and Willingness to Learn

Definitely yes, you can self-study for CA course, where Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) provides detailed study materials and resources for each level (Foundation, Intermediate, and Final). Many successful Chartered Accountants have cleared the exams through self-study.

To effectively self-study for CA, you should:

• Create a Structured Study Plan
• Thoroughly Understand Concepts
• Utilize ICAI Materials Extensively
• Practice Regularly
• Take Mock Tests
• Seek Clarifications

CA Final is considered the most difficult where you have to study more to score good marks. Also, the syllabus at the Final level is vast and complex, requiring a deep and integrated understanding of advanced topics in accounting, auditing, taxation, and financial managemen. But it also depends on the individual based on their aptitude and interest.

UPSC exams is generally considered tougher due to its broader and more unpredictable syllabus, plus the intense competition for limited positions, and the subjective nature of the evaluation, testing not just knowledge but also analytical skills, articulation, and personality. CA is considered highly challenging within its specialised domain, demanding rigorous technical knowledge and consistent performance across multiple stages. However, it depends on the indvidual aptitude and field of interest at the end of the day. 

CA is tougher due to its longer duration, extensive syllabus covering diverse subjects, and the cumulative nature of the exams. JEE Main, while intensely competitive and requiring strong conceptual clarity, is a one-time entrance exam.

So in simple words, JEE Main's difficulty is based on high competition and intense pressure in a single exam, while CA's difficulty lies in its extensive syllabus, the need for consistentency across multiple stages over a longer period, and the relatively low pass rates at each level.
