Hi Saurabh 

In order to pursue CA in India, you will need to enrol yourself for the foundation course at ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India). After completing four months of study period there, you can appear for CA CPT exam. Once you pass the foundation exam, you will be able to join second level, i.e. Intermediate level. After passing the Intermediate examination, you will be enrolled in the Final level of course. 

If you wish, after 10+2, besides doing CA, you may also enrol yourself in an undergraduate programme of your choice. It will give you an added advantage of a degree and diversified knowledge. (Remember, it is just a suggestion and not mandatory). 

You may get to know all about CA CPT exam conducted by ICAI from the link given below: 

CA CPT – BY ICAI

Hope it will help! 

All the best! 

Both CA and MBA are a fascinating field and have a lot of career opportunities to grow yourself in every way. It entirely depends on your interest that which field you choose and what actually you want to make as your career.

If you are interested totally in finance then you can look forward to pursuing CA but if you want to do management and enter into the corporate world then you can change your goals for MBA. Doing MBA has an advantage that it opens up a lot of scope for you. Not only you can do financial management but there are many other streams such as marketing, operations, HR, Analytics etc. where according to your interest you can pursue your management degree.

So in short, both the fields are good, lots of job and money in future but I strongly advise to take a decision on the basis of your interest so that you can give your best in it.

Chartered Accountancy is a professional program as its all about auditing and taxation in an efficient manner. Also, a CA is a person who manages and handles the accounts and finances of individuals or organisations. Also, the duration of this course is 4-5 years.

Good Luck!!!!

Hello Tushar

I think there is some confusion here. University of Delhi (DU) doesn’t offer CA course.

In order to pursue Chartered Accountancy in India, you will need to appear for CA CPT exam conducted by ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountant in India) and enrol yourself in CA course spread over 5 years. And, if you are already a graduate or post-graduate, you can directly join second level of CA, i.e. IPCE (Integrated Professional Competence Exam).

However, if you wish to join a course in University of Delhi (DU) such as B.Com., etc. along with CA course, then you can definitely join any provided it doesn't interfere with CA studies and articleship/internship.

I hope it clears the picture a bit.

All the best!

I would suggest you to go through with given below article to know the Syllabus & its topic regarding CACPT.
