Hi guys,

This is Akshay from Pune... I have completed my B.E. in Production last year from Pune Univ....

Wanted to know about the ICWAI courses...

But 1st of all please tell me whether it is an good option to do CWA after B.E. Prod.???

I m currently working in Manuf. Industry and dnt want to leave my stream so some people suggested me this option...

Is it a good option from my career perspective??? as I want to do something in Finance...

and if it is then I would like to take admission for CWA coming June under ICWAI's Pune Chapter...

Please Suggest me other options if any...

Eagerly waiting for Reply...

Go for it , Very good option . Can also go for Cima but its expensive. but CWA qualified get exemption & waiver of certain fees . other courses will draw u out from production

to get correct perspective about cwa visit icwai.org or www.managementaccountant.in or cmaindia.informe.com

good option especially when you have completed B.E in production. ICWAI is more about costing, operations/productions management & control, decision making and enterprise permormance management. so i guess you will have an edge over others since you have an engineering background and once you finish icwai it will be like a bonus. Go ahead buddy. best of luck...!!! for any feedback or assistance you can PM me...

since you are a graduate u can directly apply to the institute for registration as a student for ICWAI Inter. Since there are two groups in ICWAI Inter you can answer both the groups in one attempt or take each group one at a time starting with Group I. The minimum passing percentage is 50% aggregate(Gr.I and II) and minimum 40 % in any one subject. My advice please don't go by what others say, believe in yourself first and know your interest if you 'rnt intrested then go for that what interests you the most...regarding the commercial terms and jargons yes initially you will find it difficult coz you have a technical background, and thats normal. bye take a good decision.all the best to you!

Engineering + CWA is a lethal combination. Go for it. You will find lot of IIT Grads who are CWA's, if you want me to put you on to them do let me know.
