CA is easy for only those who are really passionate about it(unfortunately there are only a few such people). For others it is definitely tough. What makes it tough is the huge syllabus+low marking system. Of course if u work really really hard, it will be easy to clear ca. But seriously it is not easy to do the amount of hardwork demanded by this course.  

If u are CA its not tough.but if u r still to clear final its tough

According to me CA is easy not only CA the CS and ICWA is also easy as compare to expectation we have that we will get after completing CA, CS or ICWA.

I mean to say that if you companre your expectation that you will get after passing out you can easily find that CA, CS or ICWA is easy, So think like that.....

Depnds on your efficiency & thinking.....................................

whats the standard for toughness......is getting up in the morning not tough...

Its not tough at all...

Well, CA Course requires determination and hardwork as we need to cope up with our studies and articleship simultaneously. Also there are difficulties which might occur in our personal life during duration of our course. So, we need to be firm in our decisions and be strong physically as well mentally to meet the challenges and we should be ready to learn from the past experiences and surely we can reach our destination i.e the pinnacle of CA Course. 

CA is not tough it's the circumstances that makes it tough

circumstances here are the conditions that we have to face everyday. We spend our entire day outside doing classes,articleship & after going back to home at 10pm there is hardly any energy left to sit & study even for two hours!!!!!!!!!!

So CA is not tough, it is tough to manage this hectic schedule.........

This is completely my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO FRIENDS

THE CA COURSE ITSELF NOT TOUGH. IF COURSE WOULD TOUGH MANY STUDENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT THE COURSE IN VERY BEGINING.

THE POLICIES  OF THOSE WHO ARE HELM OF THE AFFAIRS OF ICAI ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A POOR RESULT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO DO BECAUSE NO ANY INSTITUTION CAN CLAIM THAT THE 97%OF THE STUDENTS ADMITTED BY IT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO PASS IN THE EXAM.

ICAI=BUNCH OF CONFUSED PERSONS+ALES IN WONDERLAND

THANKS AND REGARDS

ca is nt tough bt course is so wide ...thtsy it become a challenge to complete in a short span...

specially when people think they will pass , but expectations failed.

and the broken expectations only  result into 1 statement

CA IS TOUGH

it depends on our capacity to study

CA Course is no demon but it has been projected as one over the years.
.
If a student goes for selective study and starts few months before exams, then it will be tough (exceptions apart)
.
If a student completes each and every topic with adequate amount of practice and revision and studies throughout the year rather then for few months, then nobody can stop him from passing the exams with good marks, whatever may be the standard of the question paper.
.
A student just have to be regular and dedicated enough and this CA nut can be cracked with high success ratio.

Tough........ There is nothing like tough or easy.

But it is the mindset of the person what decides!!!!

So friends just give ur best to whatever u do.

Be it CA or be it anything else....

The answer to the question depends on how you define tough. 

Toughness in terms of what type of resources required is relevant
