Hi,

The thing you must consider is that you will be given designation of CA after completing all the three levels of CA which are foundation level exam, Intermediate level and articleship, and final level. This course of Chartered accountacy is completed in 5 years roughly whereas Company Secretary (CS) course is a 3 years professional level undergraduate course. And you can pursue CA and CS simultaneously. Both CA and CS are good for your future, the thing is what you decides matters the most. Both credentials offer different opportunities, but in most cases a CA can do everything that a CS can do. Thus, if you are going to get one certification, you are better off just becoming a chartered accountant.
