I just want to know whether the status of Chartered Accountancy is equivalent to a graduation degree or a diploma course.?

Whether a CA without any other graduation degree is eligible to appear in IAS and MBA exams ?

Please express your views

As rightly said by Mr.Sudhakar above, CA is a professional course. Its is not a graduation or diploma course. But still the requirement of IAS is a graduation. Ours is a professional courSe recognised by govt of india. So definitely, u r eligible to write IAS

Its neither a degree nor a Diploma.

Its an certificate course after which one becomes a member of ICAI.

CA is held eligible for further studies like Ph.D by many Universities.

CA Is Professional Qualification as well as eligible to the Class-I Officer (norms).

Plz. dont compare it with degree or diplomas like BCom, MBA, BSc, BA,Cartoon Artist,.....................

We are proud the part of the CA ........the ever Challanging and dynamic

thatz really a fact side that its not a degree or diploma and no argue may held at this level. as CA is a certificate provided by an anonymous constitutional body ICAI .
