Hi Amod

I suggest you complete either any one of this combination:

CA + CS or CA+ ICWA or CA + CPA

Please Don't unnecessarily burden ur brains !!.

You have to work atlest 5-6 years at a corporate level to get good exposure to practical aspects of work. .....

......After which u may start ur own practice in any one profession.

dear freind it is not possible to do job&study at a time.

so, take coaching in the morning/evening times when you are free & take atleast 3 months before exams for continuos preparation. take leave for those three months for job if possible.

Hi kishan,
As you are going to do CWA course, this course can be done after completion B.com no time limit of timing but in this course tuition is required and this course have 3 years of practical training similar as C.A. course.
in my opinion best suggestion for professional course is C.S.
only 15 months training is required and will be complete in 3 years.

Hi there,

Courses like CA/CS/ICWA need u to devate a lot of time to study. Also u will have to take coaching classes. It does not matter u did not take tution till grad. In grad u were attending college. In these prof courses, there is no college as such..so coaching is a must. Assuming u must be an accounts/finance person in ur co, I don't think u will b able give that much time to ur studies/coaching.

Also u said u cannot leave ur job.. b4 ur exam 2-3 months leave will be required.. If want to be a prof...study along with ur job... I would suggest u do MBA by correspondence... IGNOU is the best for it.

All wrong.

It all depends on you, if you can carry both job & studies simultaneously. I have also cleared ICWAI while being on job (full time) in a MNC, Thus dont trust on messages, believe in ur capacity.....

Regarding studies time, yes you need to study minimum 2 hours per day during weekdays and on weekends, 5-7 hours. Regarding coaching classes, NOT AT ALL required. Study material and reference books are sufficient enough to pass these exams with good marks (I scored 63% in ICWAI finals).

So friend, no more doubts, no more thinkings. Just enrol yourself and hit the exams.
