Age doesn't matters at all. Even though you complete CA at 40 years , there is no problem. You will get a good job.

Hi,

Age does not matter. Here i would like to share some of my experience. When we were attending CA classes at Chennai, we observed a gentle man aged 56+ and he completed his CA @ 59 years. We came to know that he is a retired bank official. After his retirement he started studing for CA. Take him as a role model and proceed. Best of Luck for your future.

regards

Dear Sir, Age is not a problem for doing CA but there is a thing called articleship for doing and becoming CA for a span of 3 years. If you're planning to do employment in MNC and do CA side by side i think that won't be possible.

My opinion only.

Regards,

KRISHNA

Yes the gentleman about whom Saida is telling about is no other then CA S Bala who has authored a Book on Financial Management & is very popular in the CA Final students, this fact given by Saida is also mentioned in the preface in that Book, Pls check it, & Friend Just go ahead & do CA age doesnt matter at all, Just think you want to study & you are studying, why any body else should have a problem, & if anyone has let it be upto him you dont bother about it,

All The Best

Sir ,there is nothing such as the right time to be something or to do something......u can be whatever u want to be....and when u think u want to be so."its never too late ....for what u want to be.........." and come on at 25 years with n MBA i dont think u have nething to worry about.......obviously if u complete CA it will surely brighten up ur prospects....people really sometimes underestimate their true potential..I think u shud go for it......
