Tips to crack CS in 1 year:
1.Create a plan which can be successfully executed. Give more time to topics which you find difficult and keep a buffer so that you can complete some pending tasks.
2.Focus on your strengths and sailing through the weaknesses is the best exam strategy you can bet on
3.Having too many books would lead to confusion during the time of revision and most of your doubts would remain unresolved without a good book.
4.Examiners try to trap students by playing around with the question and options. So read the question carefully to understand what is required and see the options with great concentration in case of MCQ based questions.
5.Planning the way you attempt various questions is quite crucial to crack the CS exam. You do not have to approach the question paper the way it is intended to be.

Pros of doing ACCA-
1.Studying IFRS.
2.You would be a global CA in next few years.
3.ACCA is recognized in 178 countries.
4.More job opportunities all over the world.
5.Most probably in 33.5 years, you will have an Indian graduation (If you do) degree+ ACCA degree+ OBU (Oxford Brookes University) degree.
Cons of doing ACCA-
1.In India, ACCA is not popular. I still have a tough time explaining to people what actually I am doing.
2.Job opportunities, packages are less. More preference will be given to Indian CA any day.
3.Lack of coaching institutes for ACCA.
4.Exam fees are really high. GBP converts to INR. So technically you are paying 10k to give an exam. If you fail 10k gone.
Every course every degree has its own features. Just stay focused once you choose a path never look back. Keep going!
Best of luck.

CS + LLB are core qualifications that can shape your career in the direction of secretarial, legal, corporate governance and corporate and securities laws. Since you are pursuing these qualifications already, am assuming that this is your ultimate goal.
FRM is no doubt a very competitive qualification with an abundant scope and market demand. However, you need to understand that FRM is a qualification solely based and focused on risk, not even financial management. Are you sure you want to specialise in risk management and the sorts? If you do, then CS + LLB is of no use and FRM would be the ideal choice. Although the syllabus would be quite different and so would the approach. Yes, it looks very impressive on your CV but it will have no utility in the field of FRM. Vice versa, if you are pursuing a career in the legal, FRM is hardly useful.
So to sum up, it'll look good on the CV, but will have no use.

When I read the question, the instant answer that came to my mind is CA. No doubt that CA is far more advanced and acceptable in any industry. CWA and CS have comparatively fewer opportunities.
If you are doing CA then you should complete it within 4 years. Not more than that to achieve everything on time otherwise your life will be tough if you started getting flunked.
Start working with studies instantly. Work is a very important part of CA, without working, you can't get the true meaning of CA.
I will not write much about CWA and CS because the scope of both the courses is very limited as compared to CA. CWA takes around 3-years but the syllabus has been changed now and also it has a very low passing percentage. So it will not be easy to clear CWA either but its return in terms of package can't surpass CA. You can get a job in foreign countries with CA. This benefit is not available with courses like CWA and CS.

Career as a Company Secretary is not only prestigious and financially satisfying but also brings with it a high level of job happiness. Company Secretary is an in-house legal expert, a compliance officer of the Company, a specialist in corporate laws, securities laws & capital market and corporate governance. After the globalization of services, the Company Secretary profession is initiated in different countries. India is entering into a mutual broad economic co-operation Agreements with various countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and many More. These agreements with countries acknowledge Company Secretaries with a free passage beyond borders.
Many Company Secretaries are already operating for various companies in various countries like the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Middle-east, Africa, etc. By their research and the legal tendency of mind, companies across the border have accepted their professional skill sets. Company Secretary professional also possesses the managerial capabilities and analytical skills.
UK: There is a collaboration with ICSI and ICAI-UK. After clearing some papers, you can serve in London as a company secretary. ICSI has entered into Memorandum of Association (MoU) with the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, UK. This MoU with ICSA recognizes Company Secretaries of both the countries on several conditions. The method of globalization and the means of absolute economic cooperation that India is instating has also set in consideration mutual recognition agreements between the ICSI and Institutes governing the profession in various other countries. This is clearing up the world to Company Secretaries.
Singapore: In Singapore, it is compulsory for each company to appoint a CS, therefore, you may get a better scope in Singapore. You can visit The Singapore Association of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (SAICSA).
Australia: In Australia, there is a comparable course like ICSI where you may get a membership of Chartered Secretary Australia and consequently a job of your choice. In Australia, CS is called Governance professional and the institute is called Governance Institute of Australia.
As far as salary package is concerned, one can expect something around 7 to 8 LPA (for a knowledgeable deserving candidate in the beginning). As the experience grows, it gets converted into a highly rewarding career.

The choice purely depends on the ultimate goal that you have set in mind.
Actually, the course content plays a very huge role in deciding the best match with law. CA course although can be a good choice. However, the context of the syllabus is quite different from that of law. The similarity between, both CS and LL.B. is that both of them are law focused courses. The CS curriculum attempts to make you study corporate laws in depth, whereas an LL.B. course will make you study a number of laws ranging from civil to criminal.
If we now consider the fact, that you want to primarily be a CA, and then pursue a degree (CS or LL.B) that is law focused, I would suggest that you would like to practice in corporate law and tax law matters as a Chartered Accountant. If that is true, I would suggest going for LL.B. as an additional degree because a CA or a CS cannot represent his client before the High Court or the Supreme Court. So, in case you grow in your profession and would want to litigate before these courts, you would need a membership of the Bar Council, for which an LL.B. degree is a pre-requisite.
