Hi Dikshant,

I would therefore suggest you to consider your skills and strengths to boost your career plans
To pursue CA, you can take CPT test.Once you clear that, you can start preparing for CA inter exam.
Any University has no objection in doing CA along with graduation course.
In this way you'll save your time and will complete the course in shorter period of time.
However, the fact is as a CA you will be look after the finance and accounts department and can expect to rise to the ranks of CFO of the company.

services by the ways of interaction, projects, presentations, industrial visits,
practical training, job orientation and placements.
