Hi Saksham,

Yes, you can go for the CA Intermediate examinations by two methods.

First, clear your 10+2 and sit for the CPT and CA Foundation examinations and clear them. Then you can go for CA Intermediate examination.

The second option is you can directly apply for the CA Intermediate examination as a non-commerce graduate if you have secured 60% and above in your 10+2 examinations.

Hey Harsh!  Theory is actually come from good understanding and thinking  and it demand for both CA and CS .Many students focus on covering their syllabus only as they not focus to think much and cover only syllabus 

But as you said you are good in theoretical portion you can go company secretary .you have to really make it interesting for you while pursuing  and along with your syllabus you have to cover your learning capacity. 

You have to think more about the subjects and learn all the concepts very well for the  it demand a serious thinking about incidence happend in company, issue of black money , window dressing etc in company. 

Your attitude towards your study really matters government and finance ministry also go through their thinking process for the tax reform, budgetry  control and after the completion of your course, your practical knowledge demand more .

You have to be confident and good thinker for the progress of any company and you will also share your knowledge with others in future.

Hey Naren! There is not any specific  degree for CA . CA is totally based on accountancy .

As you are science student and doing bsc you should go for bsc maths honours it will be bit helpful for you. 

For pursuing CA you have two option now 

Foundation course 

foundation course it is for entrance in CA couse and  you are eligible to give this exam after 12th, stream doesn't  matter. And as I know it is advantage for science student to appear in CA foundation exam because of maths.But yes you have to make a good grip on fundamental of accounting also. 

CA ipcc 

This is next level after the entrance by ca foundation. But after completing your bsc. Or graduation from any stream you can go for direct entry. 

Process for Direct entry scheme 

 Register your self with Institute of chartered accountant of India  ICAI in the final year of your graduation for the intermediate course.

After registration you have to complete your information technology and orientation course .This is basically of 8 months course.

Now after 6 Months of completion you can appear for CA intermediate  for both or single group. 

After passing both group of intermediate you have to register for Articleship training 

Articleship training for CA student is very helpful and must. You will also get stipend for it. It is of 3 years training, but you will get to learn Practically everything you studied in Ipcc. 

Now finally you are eligible for CA final after 3years of training you can appear for final exam and after passing you become CA

So the above are the two way you can go for CA while pursuing your bsc 2nd year and yes maths can support you in foundation level in QA very much. 

You have to be very motivated and innovative and most important you have work hard after all this profession is  demanding nowadays and pay highly for your good effort .

Hello Yash Sharma

It is a challenging task to pursue regular B.Com and CA together but not an impossible task. you need a lot of meticulous, disciplined and focused. The best tip for Study is only  CA. Then you can write B.Com exam without studying anything. The CA  syllabus is very vast if you prepare for CA exams you can easily write B.Com exams very easily as the syllabus for CA and B.Com is almost similar.

Thanks for contacting the careers360 platform

I hope it will help. Good luck!

Thank you!

Hello Archana,
Its good to hear that you have been planning to go for CA course and make a career in the CA after your Bcom.  The students who have completed their Graduation or who are going to complete can apply for the CA course through the Direct Entry Scheme. Under this scheme a student who has completed Graduation from Commerce need to have at least 55% marks in the graduation and should have studied any 3 subjects of 100 marks each - Accounting,Auditing,Costing, Taxation, Management Accounting, Business Administration.
After taking an admission under the Direct Entry Scheme a student can complete the CA course in 3 to 4 years. Whereas you also consider the 3 years of Internship. If we count together it will take around 5 - 6 years to complete the CA course.

Hope this info is helpful!!!

hello yash sharma,

So basically chartered accountant is itself a professional course. and the process for doing CA is step by step. firstly you have to crack teh CPT that is common profisiency test to reach another stage or level that is IPCC which is divided in the two groups which you can give in total 15 monnts 1 group is 9 months and 2nd group in 6 months which are left or both the groups in 9 months or both the group in 15 months. that is totally up to you. after clearing both the groups. it is mandatory to do an articleship that is your internship befor your ca final. as you have to do it. for atleast 2 year.that is paid. then only you can give ca finals exam. and there when you clear you exam at that moment only you will become a CA offcialy.

i hope you get the process. if you still have any doubt you can ask me in tHh comment section below. or if you are searching for teh institute in delhi just let me know i will provide you the best institute for CA.

So all the very best have a great future ahead.
