PLZZ ADVICE!( PROFESSIONAL COURSE COMBINATIONS)

Hello friends! I have been meaning to ask this question for a long while.......Is it really necessary to do another professional course along with CA(other than graduation)? If that is so, then which combination would be better? CA-CS or CA-ICWA? Many of my juniors also keep asking me the same question.....so I would like to have an opinion from those who are already doing such courses in combination. Thanks in advance.

SEE Mr ANIRBAN DOING ONLY CA IS FINE. BECAUSE CA HAS ALSO GOOD SCOPE. INITIALLY I ALSO HAVE SAME QUERY AND I TOOK ADVISES FROM CAs IT SELF..

STILL IF YOU ARE THINKING FOR DOING ANTOHER COURSE, THEN I GO WITH CA-CWA

Dear Friends,

CA itself is sufficient for a better settlement in professional as well as in personal life......

In my case i completed CA and CWA simultaneously and now i am doing CS.......

That is because in order to have updation.........

Once u clear CA and joining a specific industry, you will stick to very few areas like Audit/Finance/taxation/ERP..... etc.,

In order to have updation the right way is to pursue a course, so that we will allot some time for that, other wise we will completly neglet our studies........

And one more thing adding a qualification is always preferable, because while sortlisting a CV or at the time of promotion or alloting a challenging work by management defnitely additional qualification will have its impact............ That is true........... Beacuse i experienced that......

And when come to combination CA along with CS is prefereable, in order to justify there is a lot to discuss.

Lets we will take other opinion also into account....

So dear professional brothers and sisters, it is always advisable to take another course to gain advantage in all respect..

Since the syllabus is similar, there will not be much pain to prepare and it cost only the registration extra.......... The benfit will be more than the cost we incurrrrrrr (Cost benfit analysis)

see every body is right..but even i believe ca alone is sufficient u should think of other course only if r clearing ca in 1st attempt or so..after ca or along with ca ,cs is better not cwa coz ca n cwa one n the same..if u good in english u may think to do mba from top 15 institutes that is better than any combination after ca..manikantraju is right in the way that ca + oter degree help u stand in the crowd..also if u completes ca at young age doing cs/cwa/mba is good else not..

To be very honest there is no need to go for any additional course with CA.

Totally agree with Manoj.

even amar kakaria triple qualified ca cs cwa says..if age is on ur side u may do cs/cwa after ca..this will help differentiation factor while seeing CV..also in my opinion mba after ca is worthy ones u have good work experience..my own friend after completing ca n cs worked about 5 years in corporate...but he used to get just 10 lackh p.a....after completion of mba from ISB he's getting 18 lakhs p.a......so mba r better placed unless u r ranker in ca....even with no rank don't losse ur heart try to gain good work ex n try to write CAT n do mba...ISb is best coz IIM is of 2 years....but competion intense....coz CAs r average in brain except few rankers n CAT used to be given by IITs N NITs students...at present u concentrate on CA alone after CA take good work ex n think to do mba

Totally agree with Mr Manoj & Mr Ankur. With CA, there is no need to go for any other course.

However, as said by Mr. ManiKant, in case you have any interest or want to updates your knowledge and have an additional degree and touch with studies, you can choose anyone among the two. Also, there are multiple options apart from that. But all depends upon interest and circumstances.

Totally agree with the observations of Mani and Rahul.

Anyone can easily manage other professional course with CA as CA is not ....So there is no need for a CA aspirants to compromise with his interest in other fields.
