CA

Hi Swetha,
You can pursue B.Com through correspondence mode because CA has vast syllabus. Sometimes, it may affect your articleship too. ICAI do provide such an option to CA students. You can pursue from top universities like IGNOU.

Hi Jaimin,
CA has 3 stages:
1. CPT.
2. IPCC.
3. Final.
CPT is for 6 months. After clearing CPT, you can give IPCC which is for 9 months. You can enroll yourself as an article assistant after clearing either both or any group. Articleship is for 3 years. Upon the completion of 2.5 years, you can register yourself for final exams.

Hi Shrutik,
In order to pursue CA, either you should have cleared your class 12 or you should be a graduate.

Hi Arnab,
Since, you want to pursue CA, you should give importance to papers like cost accounting, financial management, business laws and taxation. This will help you to get a foundation for CA inter.

Hi Sadique,
Both courses have their own reputation. It all depends upon, who you want to be?

CA is the most suitable course for you. CA is offered by ICAI. It is organised in three level as:
1. CPT.
2. IPCC.
3. Final.
All commerce graduate can directly enroll for IPCC. To qualify CPT is not compulsory for them.
All the best.

If you are not interested in becoming a CA then why are you even evaluating doing CA. MBA will be a logical extension of your graduation degree. You are advised to do your own SWOT analysis and based on analysis prepare your MBA entrance examination preparation plan. If you are not position to crack MBA examinations by self study, you are advised to join a study/ coaching centre.

You are eligible to appear for CAT based on your graduation degree qualification and it will be a good career option for you. However, a full time MBA regular course may impact your articleship and impact your dream to become a CA.
