CA

Hi,
Yes, you can surely take CAT exam because the eligibility criteria is UG.

Hi,
You can't do an articleship and job at the same time. It's hard to focus. So, it's recommended to do one thing only.

Hi,
It will take 4 years.

ETEN CA is best till date. However, there are subject wise classes of different teachers. Some are good and some are not.

There are many coaching, but Neeraj Arora classes and AKNTK Institute for CA coaching are the best.

Hi,
ICWA / CMA is easier than CA. However, fee structure is more or less the same for both. Comparatively ICWA / CMA has low fee, as it is a one year PG course.

Hi,
Frankly speaking, it is very difficult and indefinite to decide the time required to complete CA. It takes quite a number of attempts for even an above average student to clear all exams. And, even there are chances of syllabus changes in every 2-3 months. However, if one clears all the papers in just one attempt each, then duration is 4.5 years.

Hi,
Yes, CA is better than CMA, as CA has wider scope in taxation, account and audit etc.
However, in CMA, the major focus is mainly on costing, hence there is limited scope.

Hi,
CMA has less competition than CA most probably, because of less passing percentage.
