I can understand how much in deep trouble you are suffering. But listen there is no age of success. If you really want to restart your career with CA then go for it. But if you are confused between MBA and CA then I would prefer MBA from a top B-School because:
1) Duration of MBA is of 2-years but CA takes more and you've already reached 25 years.
2) If you did your regular MBA from a top B-School with excellent grades then surely you will get higher remuneration and designated post then CA.
So MBA is preferred but if you want you can do CA. Whatever you do, just complete it.
Good luck!

Hi Tharun,
For becoming a charted accountant, you should opt for commerce stream in class 12th.
If you really want to go for CA, you should be very focused from the very beginning.
I suggest you to be up to date about it.

No, Indian CA focuses on taxation, law and generally accepted accounting principles of India hence for UK it doesn't have any value. If you are looking something in UK or UK related job then you should prefer The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. After completing CA from India you may apply for advance qualification from CAEW. As a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), you can join ICAEW by passing their advanced ACA exams. Alternatively, you may be eligible to join ICAEW based on your experience through our Pathways to Membership route. You can also apply for a practicing certificate

I guess the commerce books of class 11th or 12th will help you for basic concepts.

CA is an Indian concept. Australia and Canada does not have CA. It is either CPA or CFA for which you usually need an Indian post graduate and some work experience in the known organization.

Hello Kush! Only if you have the ability and belief to crack both their exams, I'll advise you to go ahead. Not to discourage you, but studying CA and then MBA is not everyone's cup of tea. I don't have much idea about CA but you can pursue MBA in Finance stream(as you've mentioned). Also I think there's no need to do for CA, if you pursue MBA from top B-schools like JBIMS, IIM Kolkata, etc.
