All the above disucssion is fine and throws light on various aspects of CA profession.
Commerce Students never study alike Science Students. It is a fact.
Whenever a student scores high marks in Standard X; all people (his relatives and friends) would suggest him to go for Science.
The position of general science students is worse than general B.Com. students. It is my experience. B.Com. students may get job in (m)any business organisation(s); but it would be very tough to have job by general science students. (I don't wish to say that Science stream is bad; it is our attitude which decide how we treat the stream).
If commerece students study in the same manner as the science stream students do; I am sure Commerce Stream would be highly respectable. Business operations are becoming complex day by day hence regular reading is a must.
It is a misconception in the mind of commerce students that that much reading is not required to pass the examinations (and unfortunately it is right also). But they forget the point that these B.Com. marks they have to show whenever they go to any prospective employer for job.
Many students take the CA examiantion as if by hard labour they would pass it. To pass CA the following things may be taken in mind :
1. Regular Study of 6 hours (manage it by any way).
2. Regular updation of study notes (read magazines like Current Tax Reporter, Law Journals, ICAI Journal etc.).
3. Analytical approach after covering a topic (why we studied the topic and what is its practical importance in the profession).
4. Group discussion with the students.(Many times purpose of making group is lost and on other issues group is found discussing).
5. Attend seminars (students take it as time-killer).
6. Read for Learning ( Each and every subject is capable of making a unique career).
Now I raise one specific circumstance :
Many students can score 95% plus marks in Standard XII. They should try to get admission in Sri Ram College of Commerce of Delhi. Some extra weightage is given by the college for other curricular activities also. In that case less scored students would also have admission in the college.
An M.Com. of this college is better than a general CA !
It is really very interesting to note that the admission in this college is tough than admission in CA whereas CA results are more tough than the results declared by Sri Ram College of Commerce.
So in my opinion; those who cannot get admission in that college are in much better position when they clear their CPT and PCC/IPCC. Many students score only 55-60% marks upto Standard XII because they were not aware of the career.
Now after joining CA; they can rectify their past mistakes. For those who scored 80% plus marks and still could not get success in CA; I would say you are victim of faulty education.
When you join CA profession; you enter in a whole new environment.
Enjoy it for 3 years with altogether different taste; these golden years would never come again in your lifetime.
