Hello Sachin,

A warm welcome to Career Guide.com

Thanks for visiting us and writing us your career query.

Its good to know that you have been planning to make a career in CA. CA as a career option is one of the Good career option . CA are the professionals who deals with the accounting and auditing of the Companies and the individual. on completing CA one have good career opportunities. A Certified CA can either take up a job in the companies or can start their own independent practise whereas if some one wish to go for the further studies they have that option too. They can go for the further education for the courses like CFA,CFP,MBA in Finance etc are pretty good career courses for them.

In order to become a CA now the students have two entry scheme for CA course. Firstly, they can enroll themselves through the 12th std. In 12th std. student needs to register with the ICAI institute and needs to complete a 12months of registeration with ICAI and then can appear for the CA Foundation Course Exam. CA FOundation exam is a qualifying exam for the CA course. On completing CA FOundation Exam you get eligible for the CA Intermediate course and then CA Final .

The Second entry is the Direct Entry scheme after Graduation. A student who has completed graduation degree from commerce or any other stream can get into for CA through this Scheme. A commerce Graduate need to have scored 55% in the Graduation and should have studied any of the 3 subjects of 100 marks each Accounting,Auditing,Costing,Taxation,Management Accounting or Administration. For other faculty students they need to have scored 60% in the Graduation.

Through direct entry scheme you do not need to give a CA Foundation Exam.

Its advisable to go for the CA course right after 12th as it will be helpful for you to be in the flow and by the time you complete your Graduation you at least complete your Intermediate course.

I hope you find this information useful and helpful.
