Filling the application form from the desired school or college for the admission is generally done.

You can complete the CA Foundation course, which is the entry-level exam. After clearing the Foundation, you will have to take Intermediate and Final levels. The exams, however, are surely a tough nut to crack, and a reasonable number of students prepare with the help of coaching classes. Self-discipline and concentration of all effort toward maintaining studies are the key ingredients to the successful culmination of the CA journey.

The BBA course, especially if viewed in light of pursuing a CA, should be done from a top-notch college in Pune for better exposure, networking in academics, internships, and career development. The reputed colleges usually have experienced faculty and industry ties that always boost your chances in an organization. If other options are available, finance comes into play, or if an average college seems plausible with good foundation studies to enable one with the column of preparation, then rest assured you can carry on with it. Your study quality and dedication to CA will ultimately matter the most in setting your career path.
