I passed Dec 13' CPT when pass % was 37%. i was Overwhelmed with joy 
i am a CBSE student With 76 % 

I quit college and applied in correspondence and started my bcom only after my 3rd failure in IPCC. 

Now i am in 2nd year B.com

Ca Inter pass percentages are very good :) always 4's and 6's like in the game of cricket.
is life a game of cricket.
last time i got all my answer sheets for me to see where i went wrong, where i was happy to find my answers and suggested answers matching but only with 2's and 3's. 

i am confused as to what to do With CA. quit and join ACCA ? 

please guide me

u are wrong in analysing answer sheet. u could have seen the mark awarded is only single for every matching answer. go thru again old answer sheet and try to find out what key words/steps are left. also refer your answer to a professor for expert suggestion

I am wrong in analysing answer sheet .  oh yeah my answer and suggested answers match is that what wrong analysing, means ?  where i should look for mistakes when suggestedd answers and my answers meet ?

and thanks for your reply . sorry didnt mean to be offensive but the pressure i feel is intense. no offense

I understand your version as I had also crossed hurdles with pain.
I am sorry if I hurt u. what I thought is there may be technical issues on interpretation and seniors or professors can guide us to improve the way of presentation if any. all the best

Don't waste your time here. It'll any ways take 3 more years to sit,write and clear final. Look at alternatives like MBA. Prepare for all the national level MBA entrance examinations and give equal amount of focus to B.Com CGPA/ Percentage.

And regarding ACCA, attend the demo sessions and read the syllabus, course content thoroughly before making any decision (as it is not a piece of cake and you pay in pounds). Also take review from people who are currently doing the course. 

@ Raghavan Thank you Sir . i would take your advice and see what can be done for future
@ Black mamba. First of all Thanks for the reply . MBA what needs to be done and ACCA isnt a piece of cake but atleast i get credit for what i write and answer to be frank . my handwriting is kind of worse. May 16 attempt i tried to improve a bit but couldnt manage it. but i found increase in marks. i am not telling i find a corelation between handwriting and marks but it does also have an psycholigical impact on the checker. i cant change my handwriting all of a sudden and it isnt practical too. i am trying to go through ACCA. and reaading what to be done about it. and MBA what needs to be done can you please guide me or give me a link to where i can find more about MBA and alternatives. Thanks for patiently reading

I Wholly understand we might be paying in pounds But its better than paying installments To icai where we dont even know if the Product is ours. And btw i dont feel bad after 4th attempt just because am used to it and it does feel very awkward to lose year by year doing nothing and Also believing tottaly in this. the very fact that i dont feel awkward after failure makes me think am used to it. i dont think thats a right attitude. please advice

I don't know much about ACCA and I am not even interested in doing research on that, so you need to take care of that. I can give a lot of valuable suggestions for MBA Entrances.

CAT - The most competitve exams which opens gates to probably the best management institutes in India like the IIMs and FMS. An average commerce like you takes at least one year to gain the skill of solving problems efficiently(Read the sentence carefully, I did not write "crack the CAT", "make into top-b schools"). The exam is divided into three sections Quant/Mathematics, Verbal Ability-Reading Comprehension and Data Interpretation-Logical Reasoning. Each of the section share closer to 33.33%(ideally). Open category or OC students have to get over 99 percentile to get into IIM A,B,C,L,K,I and over 97/98  percentile to get into one of the newer IIMs like Trichy, Shillong, Rothak,Raipur, Kashipur and Udaipur. You have six more new ones. So, andy, your writing will not lower your chances in getting into the top colleges provided that you meet the threshold limits the paper setters expect you to have.

XAT- Probably the toughest and the only next competitive mangement examination after CAT. Schools like XLRI ,XIMB and all the colleges under xaviers consider this score for their admission. In addition to CAT, you have a  decision making section.

GMAT-  Can't elaborate about this in a few sentences. Search for GMAT on the internet. You can take this exam as per your convenience(5 times an year) and the score is valid for 5 years. All the major Graduate schools and Management Schools accept this score. In India, you have schools like ISB,SP Jain accepting the GMAT scores. (But this route may cost a lot of money, so check the financial side before taking this path)

Other entrance exams- This list includes

IIFT(A top B-School in India)

MH-CET(Maharastra has good management institutes like Jamanlal Bajaj)

SNAP(Symbiosis)

NMAT(Narsee Monjee)

TISS(For social sciences)

CMAT and MAT.

Feel free to ask questions. There's very little help that is available for MBA on this site.

 

hey Andy I think u have a positive attitude. icai has become very strict at the ipcc level so passing is very difficult now. if u don't clear that is not a reason to get depressed. but at the same time u need to have a sense of urgency. each attempt costs you so prepare for the next like it is your last one. having said that you are still at a stage where you can look at alternate career choices. ACCA, MBA etc. just make a decision after weighing all the pros and cons. if u do go for ca then give it all you got.

@ Black mamba : Thanks a lot for spending your Time for educating me about MBA i seriously consider this, is it viable to Get a decent score . like i am unaware of the average scores is it possible for a average student like me to be placed in 98 percentile . What if i get lower percentile and what is if i get lower percentile. im not being negative but my honest question as to what will be the other side. 

@ Jabez Clarke : Thank you for your suggestion i have an option to Shift from CA. being depressed isnt gonna take me anywhere but to a psychartist :P Hence im not being depressed but planning to repair my damage at the earliest every attempt is costing me 6 whole months :O
