If you want to become a Chartered Accountant (CA) after completing your B.Com, you can enter through the Direct Entry Route, which allows you to skip the CA Foundation exam. To be eligible, you must have at least 55% marks in B.Com (or 60% for non-commerce graduates). The first step is to register for CA Intermediate on the ICAI website and complete an 8-month study period before appearing for the exams. Before starting your articleship, you must complete the ICITSS (Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills) training. After passing both groups of CA Intermediate, you can begin a 3-year articleship under a practicing CA, where you'll gain practical experience in auditing, taxation, and finance. During this period, you must also complete AICITSS (Advanced IT & Soft Skills Training). After 2.5 years of articleship, you can register for the CA Final, and once you complete your 3-year training, you can appear for the final exams. After successfully clearing both groups of CA Final, you can apply for ICAI membership and officially become a Chartered Accountant. The entire process takes around 3.5 to 4 years after graduation. To start, you can register for CA Intermediate through the ICAI official website and begin your journey toward becoming a CA.

Hello Nandini,

No, completing CMA Inter does not provide direct entry to CA Inter. However, if you are a graduate or postgraduate with at least 55% marks (in commerce) or 60% marks (in other streams), you can apply for direct entry to CA Inter. Otherwise, you need to clear the CA Foundation exam to join CA Inter.

Hello Aspirant ,

I hope you are fine. As per your mentioned query , for improving your accounting section firstly you have to work on the foundation . As basics are very important in every subject. Just strong your foundation first then practicing more and more questions. So it will give you confidence and also improves your speed and accuracy . Atlast revision plays a vital role in every exam. So don't forget to revise all the concepts weekly . If you will not revise the concepts then you will lag again.

I hope this helps !!

Hello there,

Yes, you can join CA Inter while pursuing an MBA through distance learning . Since distance MBA offers flexible schedules, you can manage both courses together. To join CA Inter directly, you need to meet one of these criteria:

1. Graduate/Postgraduate Route – If you have completed your graduation or postgraduation in Commerce with at least 55% marks (or 60% for non-commerce), you can directly register for CA Inter without clearing the CA Foundation.
   
   
2. CA Foundation Route – If you don’t meet the above criteria, you can still appear for CA Foundation and then proceed to CA Inter.

Make sure to balance your study schedule as both courses require significant time and effort.

Hello Aditi,

Yes, you can do BBA in International Business along with CA , but it depends on the program structure. Some BBA International Business courses have an optional study abroad year , while others allow you to complete the full degree in India.

What You Should Do:

1. Check the BBA program details – Some colleges allow you to complete all years in India, which won't affect your CA preparation.
   
   
2. If your program requires going abroad , consider a regular BBA (Finance, Accounting, or General Management) instead, as these align well with CA studies.
   
   
3. Time management is key – CA demands intense study, so choose a BBA with a lighter academic load or one that offers flexibility.

If CA is your priority, a BBA in Finance or Accounting would be a better choice, as it directly complements CA subjects.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
