Hey Histish,

CA is professional courses having 3 level ,generally it is 4 years course but only if you pass all 3l level in first attempt 

Three levels of exam are:

• CA Foundation 
  
• CA IPCC also known as Intermediate Course 
• CA Final 

B. Com is 3 years undergraduate degree. Now it is  6 semesters course each year has 2 semesters which is basically 6 months gap for every semester 

Now,  talking about syllabus both CA IPCC and B. Com Honours has almost same syallbus but CA demand your full attention in each and every concepts compare to b.com (H) . If you want to go for correspondence you can opt for b. Comp honours  but only if you can manage both the courses and I would suggest you to pursue b. Com for the option in future only. 

My best wishes to you!! 

Hi Anoopa

It totally depends on your hard work, Time management , potential and dedication. 

BCom in correspondence is mainly preferred by many because time management gets easy. You can easily devote required time to both courses. So doing BCom from correspondence is with CA can be a good option as you'll have sufficient time to prepare for both courses. 

But also if you have to do CA , there's no Academic advantage of doing BCom from correspondence, doing it from correspondence is just for a name sake degree.

I would suggest you to pursue your CA with regular college beacuse Most of things you study in BCom is covered in CA. Also, if in case CA doesn't work out then you can go for MBA and have a good life . Bcom hardly takes time if you are a CA student beacuse BCom is a subset of CA. And also, in case you plan for further studies in India or abroad then reputed graduation degree is a must . And CA is not a graduation degree and is not recognised by any University , so having a reputed graduation degree can help you with secondary options as well . 

Both regular and correspondence have their advantages and disadvantages

All you need to do is choose wisely, if you can manage your time efficiently and usually there is this problem of clashing of college classes and your IPCC classes So I think you can manage that by taking evening cllasses for IPCC.

Managing studies won't be tough , even if you choose college  you won't be going regularly. So you can go on the days of your choice.skip some less important college classes.

This was my opinion, it's your choice which option will be more suitable for you. Think wisely and take a good decision. Think twice before taking any decision. 

The most important thing is your ultimate goal.so if CA is your ultimate goal and if you think that regular college will put extra burden on you the you can go for correspondence but if you know your potential and you know that you'll manage,then go for regular college. 

All the Best!!

Hey Indhumathi! B.com is undergraduate degree in commerce where as chartered accountant CA is professional courses having 3 level you have  every level, it takes 4 years to give CA final examination if you clear your every exam in first attempt. 

I would suggest you to choose b. Com honours if you want to make career in CA as subjects  are almost same. But yes, CA demand high discipline and hard working because It's is a professional course and it demand high practice and knowledge of students to get perfection in each and every concepts and papers are also tough compare  to B.  Com

When you will prepare for CA, B. Com itself seems easy for you and it will be best courses doing along with CA. 

You will notice the similarity of subjects in different semesters of B. Com and  CA IPCC course and CA final Example : financial accounting, cost accounting, direct and indirect tax, corporate accounting, finanacial management, auditing these are courses you will study in different semesters of b. Com and in CA IPCC and some topic and  subjects  in CA final.

CA foundation is the entrance exam which is first level .All your 11th and 12th syllabus cover if your are from commerce stream in financial accounting and in maths for quantative aptitude. 

Hope this helps

God luck!

Hello there, Smrita. If you want to become a Chartered Accountant, then you need to qualify Chartered Accountant course under Institute of Chartered Accountant of India (ICAI). Here is the stepwise process of becoming a Chartered Accountant:

-CA Foundation: CA Foundation is the first level of becoming a CA. The CA Foundation Exam is an Entry Pass for the beginners for CA. The candidates will be eligible to take part in this examination just after their Class 12th. It is compuslory for the students to qualify CA Foundation Exam for taking admission in this course. CA Foundation Exam takes place twice in year, one in the month of May/June and another in the month of November/December. The students are given 4 months time to prepare for this examination. This means that the registration for May/June examination gets closed in the month of January-February only.  

-CA Intermediate: As soon as the student qualifies the CA Foundation Examination, he/she becomes eligible to enroll himself/herself for CA Intermediate. CA Intermediate is the second phase of becoming a CA. The students are given a time period of 8 months to prepare for this examination. 

-Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS): After sitting in the CA Intermediate Examination, the students will have to go through a 100 hours of Infomation Technology Training Program and Orientation Program which is conducted for a period of one week. As it takes more than 2 months for ICAI to publish the results of CA  Intermediate, so the students may complete this procedure during the gap time.

-Articleship: Once the students have passed CA Intermediate, then they are allowed to do Articleship. According to the rules of ICAI, it is compuslory for the students to do Articleship for a period of 3 years just after qualifying the CA Intermediate Examination. Therefore, the students need to work under a well qualified CA for 3 years in order to gain practical experiences. 

-Advanced Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills: As per the rules of ICAI, the students have to complete 100 hours of Advanced training program. Students can take part in this program just after completing the 1st year of their articleship.

-CA Final: After taking the Advanced Integrated Course, the students will be able to take part in the CA Final Examaniation. The students can take part in this examination during the last 6 months of their Articleship training. After successfully qualifying in the examination, you will now be a qualified CA, either you can work in your CA firm, or be a part of a major business consulting company.

So that was the process of becoming a CA. In case of more queries, feel free to mention. All the best.
