Hello Lakshmi,

Chartered Accountancy is not taught as a course in any college.

It is provided through a CA governing body, which is private though governed by recognised authorities.

So a student would have to register with the board after 10th and appear for the first round, CPT after completing their 12th.

Since you have not mentioned, your current qualification, I assume you are a 12th student. I would suggest, you register ASAP with the CA association and begin your preparations for the exam, so that you could clear the exam along with your 12th boards.

Check the following: www.icai.org/

Please note, CA is not a degree course, but the certification is enough on its own to get you a job . But still I would recommend, complete your Graduation 

In-case you are a commerce student, complete your B.Com along with CA. Any other course like BAF or BBI etc,  would consume more time of yours and you would not be able to dedicate your time towards CA preparations, which requires time and complete focus.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good luck...
